The scriptures do not say the "Son of God was manifested in the flesh"

Don't know if you guys can see what I'm saying though...
There is a world of difference between saying God (A divine Spirit being) was revealed in (can mean also by , with) flesh,

And "the Son was revealed for this purpose".

One could say "John was revealed for the purpose of paving the way for Messiah" and not mean a pre-existing God person became human
