How do we respond to the Christian شبهة (misconception/argument) they use to justify the sonship of Christ, by claiming he is from the Spirit of God, citing the two verses: "So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul/spirit" (فإذا سويته ونفخت فيه من روحي) and "Then We breathed into her through Our Spirit" (فنفخنا فيها من روحنا)? And does this mean that all humans are sons of God? And is the spirit within us a part of God's Spirit? And how can it be from God's Spirit if it is created?
The soul is one of God's creations and not a part of Him. Its attribution to God in some texts is out of reverence and magnification of its status, as in His Almighty's saying: "And breathed into him of My Spirit." The meaning of His Almighty's saying: "And a spirit from Him," and the reason for its attribution to God, has been previously explained.
