More proof that Quran supports "children of God" as meaning pious. I was reading Surah Maidah Verse 18 and it said: But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allah and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.
The people of the Book said they are children of Allah which means they thought they were chosen ones but not literally children of Allah. This shows that Jesus being Son of God doesn't mean he actually is the son of God.
