"For Child is born unto us, Son is given unto us; . . ."
Not coincidentally, in speaking to the Virgin Mary, Angel Gabriel called Him by the titles (also anarthrous) "Son of the Highest" and "Son of God." The definite article added by the translators is incorrect. Those are titles, more than merely proper nouns because the are names of Deity.
Of course, in each of these cases, the title "Son of God" means that He is not merely divine in quality, but Deity personified, and of the same substance as The Most High God and Father of Lord Jesus Christ/Messiach (cf Ephesians 1:3 as an example).
Thanks for this fine meditation, Bro. Bill. You've presented it very carefully to warn the unwary or spiritually immature Christian. To argue against your point is foolish, IMHO.
As I mentioned up-thread, there's not much time left.
Perhaps the Redeemer is a fan of the King, or Ricky Nelson. I could quote this to him, and he would smile.
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?

So open up your heart and let this fool rush in.
Many Christians place great importance in holding to a literal interpretation of the Bible. Thanks great, except that the Book is literal to the point of abject absurdity, and that's going to really frost people. "Now that's taking it too far!"
To the victor go the puns, at the last trump. :)
