A God family?

The book Isaiah says:

Isa 50:1 Thus saith the LORD: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.

The book of Proverbs says:

Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?

Question:

Does God have a family, these two verses seem to give this impression since they mention a mother and a son?

God and discipline

The Book of Proverbs says the following:

Proverbs 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither spurn thou His correction;

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Questions:

Can this be mans words inspired by God, explain?

Do we believe these words?

Does God actually correct or discipline?

worlds next to us that are invisible?

In Elegant Universe, Brian Greene said : "There could be entire worlds right next to us, but completely invisible."

The interesting thing is that in the oldest manuscripts of the book of Hebrews a similar parallel occurs which reads as follows: " Hebrews 11:3 -By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible."

The comment I have is that it is a amazing how a young scientist today seems to be making a statement that may justify Hebrews 11:3.
