In Islam, Jesus isnt called by the title the "son of god" and that confuses me. Is it only because his divinity is denied......?
Peace be on you.
Answers from Ahmadiyya-Muslim Understandings:
The Idea of sonship is extremely disliked and prohibited by Allah-The One.
According to Holy Quran [alislam.org/quran]
[112:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[112:2] Say, ‘He is Allah, the One;
[112:3] ‘Allah, the Independent and Besought of all.
[112:4] ‘He begets not, nor is He begotten;
[112:5] ‘And there is none like unto Him.’
==
[5:76] The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a Messenger; surely, Messengers
like unto him had indeed passed away before him. And his mother was a truthful woman. They both used to eat food. See how We explain the Signs for their good, and see how they are turned away.
==
[18:2] All praise belongs to Allah Who has sent down the Book to His servant and has not put therein any crookedness.
[18:3]
He has made it a guardian, that it may give warning of a grievous chastisement from Him, and that it may give the believers who do good deeds the glad tidings that they shall have a good reward,
[18:4] Wherein they shall abide for ever;
[18:5] And that it may warn those who say, ‘ Allah has taken unto Himself a son.’
[18:6] No knowledge have they thereof, nor
had their fathers. Grievous is the word that comes from their mouths. They speak naught but a lie.
[18:7] So haply thou wilt grieve thyself to death for sorrow after them if they believe not in this discourse.
a-A perfect God does not support original sin theory, Adam forgot few things, he repented and forgiven by God.
b- Sonship of God is simply misunderstanding, due to translations or other reasons.
c- Jesus (a.s.) was only for Israelites [verse 50 below] thus he had to follow the Moses (a.s.)

Prophets Make Spiritual Dead Alive:
[ch8:v25] O ye who believe! respond to Allah, and the Messenger when he calls you that
he may give you life, and know that Allah comes in between a man and his heart, and that He it is unto Whom you shall be gathered.
Otherwise once someone is physically dead, he never comes back. It is sunnatullah (way of God). [Prayers of Prophets enhances lives and make near-deads to get more life, it happens.] But deads never come back. In religion, such wording is metaphor.
[23:100] Until, when death comes to one of them, he says
entreating, ‘My Lord, send me back,
[23:101] ‘That I may do righteous
deeds in
the life that I have left
behind.’
Never, it is but a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier until the day when they shall be raised again.
Like in Christianity, he was born of the Virgin Mary without a biological father, supernaturally. It is believe that he was created by the supernatural command of God, like the Bible also says about Adam.
a-Jesus was made of clay.
b-The fatherless birth of Jesus (a.s.) was an announcement of change of house of prophethood.
c-

But Christians also believe he was conceived supernaturaly in Mary by the Spirit of God, not by Gabriel commanding him into existence like in Islam. Is that partially the reason Muslims dont give him the title of Son of God?
His mother was blamed.
Thus the use of words kalimah and ruh have wide uses in Quran; for Jesus these only means his birth was under pure thoughts (When parents have immodest thoughts conception of their children get part too.)
Is that the only reason Muslims disagree with the title Son of God? Because the Quran agrees with the Bible on other reasons Jesus has that title, in the sense that God caused Mary to conceive him miraclously.
And she who guarded her virginity, so We breathed into her of Our spirit (roohina) and appointed her and her son to be a sign unto all beings. S. 21:91
Same word rooh is used for Adam:
[ch15:v30] ‘So when I have fashioned him
in perfection and have breathed into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in submission to him.’

Thus, Jesus (a.s.) was a man Prophet, came for Israelites, believed in God of Moses (a.s.) [The same God from Who has been from ever and will be to ever]. His mother was blamed, that is why he and her both were made clear of charges of impurity.
According to Ahmadiyya-Muslims, who believe that latter days promised reformer [The Promised Messiah, the Mahdi has come in 1889 in India as the ardent devotee of Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him); whose mission of peaceful revival of faith continues through his Khilafat........ Jesus (on whom be peace) survived cross [proofs from Quran, Bible, History and Medical records, in online book JESUS IN INDIA @ ALISLAM.ORG]
Good wishes.
