What does "son" mean in the following passages?
I understand the plural forms of son/child referring to angels and common
people:
(1) Deuteronomy 14:1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God (Common people)
(2) Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the

is a Messianic passages. That means it refers to the future Messiah rather
than Salomon.
In Hebrew, it is often use singular to refer to plural concept, that is, in a collective sense, like these

笔者约于十八年前接触到摩门教，当时笔者在香港新界凤溪中学教书，有两个学生因为
摩门教「摸门」而动摇，他们说：「我们不知如何回答他们，但觉得他们讲得颇有道理
。」后来他们来找我，我便约谈了几位学生，连同那两位摩门教的长老，谈了三个钟头
。这是第一次与他们接触，虽然未有充分准备，但很容易便看出他们的矛盾百出。现在
我们来研究摩门教的教义时，你也一定会轻易看出他们有许多的漏洞及矛盾。为何还是
有这么多人信呢？主要是因为他们并非真的信圣经，他们最权威的书有三本，「摩门经
」为首屈一指的权威；第二本「教义与圣约」，是他们的第二个权威，第三本是「无价
珍珠」；上述三本均为约瑟史密夫所写，他们用这三本书多于用圣经，他们也不会详细
查圣经，而只是会讲这三本书；其他每一个领袖所出的书均为权威。向摩门教徒传福音
时最重要的一件事，便是知己知彼，百战百胜。若一开始便讲圣经，他们不会和你谈的
