Found this excerpt from an interesting series of articles published at Abarim Publications; as you read them, you slowly begin to realize that they are the masters of progressive liberal scripture interpretation; these interpretations as always, go totally off track the closer they get to the cross.

Nevertheless, I liked this particular excerpt as I have always found it difficult to share the gospel with Muslims (trying to find common ground) given that unlike other religions, the Quran directly refutes Jesus work on the cross.

This approach talks about the will of God which is emphasized in Islam and also talks about how Jesus is not ‘a son’ like the Greek gods.

———————————————————

The nature of God cannot be altered, but the effects of the nature of God are endless (Lamentations 3:22-23).
God does not change (Malachi 3:6), and can certainly not become two, and therefore can not have a Son in the Greek patriarchal sense, the way Zeus is an autonomous successor of Kronos and could rebel against his father and even depose and imprison him in Tartarus (Islam certainly has that right).
But in Hebrew patriarchy, a true and perfect son does the will of the father.
That means that God having a Son in the Hebrew patriarchal sense, is the person who executes the entire eternal will of God within creation, and is wholly defined by doing so.
That means that, in some form or other, the Son of God has always been present in creation.
