The term Son in the Bible could refer to beings / persons created by God. Thus, Adam is called the son of God. ( Luke 3:38). Angels are also called sons of God. (Job 2:1)
Jesus was the 1st spirit being created by God. (Colossians 1:16,17; Revelations 3:14, King James) That's why he said that before Abraham was, He was. And, that Jesus had heavenly glory before even the world was created. ( John 17:5)
But--the big but--Jesus never claimed equality w/ God. Read John 14:28; Matthew 20:20-23. All these Scriptures and the rest will tell you that Jesus is not Almighty.
Oh, don't believe in the pagan teaching of the Trinity. It is not found in the Bible. And, it mocks God.

The term "Son of God" was used metaphorically speaking to those who were godly and pious men. It was never meant to be used literally as the case with Christianity toward Jesus
In fact, the term "Son of God" is used all over the Bible referring to people other than Jesus, check out the following verses: LUKE 3:38 " the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.", GENESIS 6:2 " that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.", EXODUS 4:22 " Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is My son, My firstborn." , JEREMIAH 31:9 "…For I am a father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.", ROMANS 8:14 "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.". So how come Christians don't regard those people as Gods, the way they regard Jesus (as)?

A soul sent by their idea of God to save them from the roman empire.
WE are all souls(sparks,facets) of God as it made them before the Creation of the physical universe.

Sons of God, or Messiahs were quite common at that time.
