salam alaikum,
Muslimah,
I am no sure what you mean by my position on Jesus.
I understand that Jesus was a messenger of Allah, just the same as Moses, Muhammed, etc.
I also know that Jesus is not to be worshipped, and only Allah is to be worshipped, as Allah alone is God and Creator.
As a christian, it is a little difficult to get away from the 'trinity' point of view.
When Christians refer to Jesus as the Son of God, I do not believe they mean that God was his actual father. I think they mean that symbolicly - that God/Allah breathed life into the womb of Mary to create Jesus.
Obviously, Mary is the mother of Jesus - but every child that has a mother has a father. No human man was the father of Jesus - and because Allah is the one that created Mary's pregnancy with Jesus, I believe that is why they refer to God/Allah as the Father of Jesus.
