Son of God or God the Son?

The biblical phrase “Son of God” does not describe the essence of a person. To call someone the “Son of God” does not mean that someone is God or is a deity. Rather “Son of God” in the Bible relates to the relationship or status that a human being has with God. Orthodox Christianity of the last 1700 years or so, including Catholicism and Protestantism, has tragically misunderstood the title Son of God in the manner of essence , making Jesus “God”. Trinitarianism claims it was “God the Son” in Jesus. The Bible says that it was God the Father (the only God) who was in Jesus (John 10:38). Trinitarianism says that when you see Jesus, you see “God the Son”. The Bible, including Jesus himself, say that when you see Jesus you “see the Father” (John 14:9-10). There is no such thing as “God the Son”.
