There is neither gender nor division in Truth, therefore the conventional idea of a male Jesus being the only offspring of God is incorrect.
Within A Course in Miracles, "The Son of God" refers to both Jesus, and to the collective extension of God which includes all of us.
It should especially be noted that God has only one Son. If all His creations are His Sons, every one must be an integral part of the whole Sonship. The Sonship in its Oneness transcends the sum of its parts. T-2.VII.6,1-3.
The power of the Sons of God is present all the time, because they were created as creators. Their influence on each other is without limit, and must be used for their joint salvation. T-6.I.18:1-3.
The betrayal of the Son of God lies only in illusions, and all his "sins" are but his own imagining. His reality is forever sinless. He need not be forgiven but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed himself, his brothers and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really done. It is impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for dreams are what they are because of their illusion of reality. Only in waking is the full release from them, for only then does it become perfectly apparent that they had no effect upon reality at all, and did not change it. T-17.I.1:1-7.
As you read the teachings of the Apostles, remember that I [ Jesus ] told them myself that there was much they would understand later, because they were not wholly ready to follow me at the time. ... No one is punished for sins, and the Sons of God are not sinners. Any concept of punishment involves the projection of blame, and reinforces the idea that blame is justified. ... The crucifixion was the result of clearly opposed thought systems; the perfect symbol of the "conflict" between the ego and the Son of God. This conflict seems just as real now, and its lessons must be learned now as well as then. T-6.I.16:1,4,5,7,8.
