Jesus is and always be the son of God. However he is the God of the Old testament, The creator of the earth under the direction of God. After his resurrection he went to the father and was given all that the father has so is now a God equal to the Father God. Confused yet? Well that is why they had the Nicene council and came up with the false idea of a trinity. The easiest way to understand it is by thinking of a business and God the owner has a manager Jesus who has all control and does the wishes of God. The (manager) Jesus only has to answer to God the (owner) The owner tells his manager what he wants done and it is the manager who goes to the employees and directs the work. It is the manager who the employees go to for help it is the manager who pays the help. Now that Jesus has proved himself worthy in all aspects by taking upon himself all the sins of the world God the father has given him a full partnership. Jesus still runs the Business of salvation but holds all the rights and responsibility's of full ownership. Hope this helps.

If you are a man and you have a son, you are a father and a son. If you are married, you're also a husband. So, you are a son, a father, and a husband, all at the same time.
They are titles.
Son of God is more like flesh of God... kind of like your own son would be your own flesh. But, it didn't quite work the same as the conception we know today because it was God. And since the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary so that she conceived, and the Holy Ghost is God, it means He is the Father. But, Jesus was still God...but robed in flesh. The flesh of Jesus is the Son but the Spirit within Him is God... And do you consider your fleshly body and your spirit as separate persons? I don't.

Here is what I'm saying : Jesus is referred to as the "Son of Man" 88 times in the New Testament. What does this mean? Does not the Bible say Jesus was the Son of God? How then could Jesus also be the Son of Man? A first meaning of the phrase "Son of Man" is as a reference to the prophecy of Daniel 7:13-14, "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." The description "Son of Man" was a Messianic title. Jesus is the one who was given dominion and glory and a kingdom. When Jesus used this phrase related to Himself, He was assigning the “Son of Man” prophecy to Himself. The Jews of that era would have been intimately familiar with the phrase and to whom it referred. He was proclaiming Himself as the Messiah.
If he is the son of man you gotta wonder which man...Mary being a virgin and all.

Luke 1:32 and John 3:16 says that God sent his son.
Can you be you mother or father and your son at the same time?
he was already in heaven as a son of God that is what John 3:16 says he didn´t became son in earth he was already a son of God when God sent him.

Jesus is Gods son, but together they are one entity. The are seperate yet the same. God holds powers that we as humans cannot begin to understand. You should never question God or his abilities because they are endless. God sent himself, as Jesus Christ to Earth to die for mans sins. That is why today people have the option of being saved, and a chance of eternal life in heaven.

God is the trinity. The trinity is the father son and holy spirit. They are all aspects of the same thing. One was not created before the others. God has no beginning or end.

Personally, to me, Jesus is the son of God. I know lots of christians say Jesus and God are the same, but I'm not one of them. If they were the same, then why would Jesus tell us to pray to God, and He prayed to His Father on the cross, not to mention say that He doesn't know when the end will come, only God knows?

Both.
He is God, and as the Son of God, He was God's only begotten Son.
"Begotten" takes it's meaning from the family lineages in the Old Testament.
It simply means, born in human flesh.
