Why He called Himself Son

[Sheila]

As the sun rises in the east and gives us light--so the Son is the light of all men--At His rising He brought light of the truth(Malachi 4:2)
As the sun sets in the west and ends the day--so will the Son end the days of men
As the sun lifts the veil of darkness/night that conceals the light--so the truth of the Son dispells the darkness of ignorance.
Nothing on Earth grows or prospers without sunlight--Son Light
The sun is the beginning and ending of every growth and change to every living thing--As is the Son the Alpha and the Omega and the Son that changes us into a new creation
Without the sun things wither and die--No eternity without the Son
The sun has heaven as its throne and earth as it's footstool--so does the Son
This is why God called Himself the Son of man---not to imply that He was beneath anything but above---as is the sun.
Where did we ever get the term son to begin with? Where did the word originate?
God is the head, brain and life of His body of believers and His name is Jesus Christ. John 1:1-1:14, Colossians 1:15-18, Ephesians 4:4-6
Yeshua Bless You and Amen

He is called Father because He is the Creator/Father of all creation and also because He sired a Son who is to rule.

He is called Son because He was born of a woman

He is called Father/creator because he is all life and is the light of everything living. To deny that He is Jesus and God the Father,son and holy spirit in one body is to deny Himself. This is why He calls Himself the head and us the body (to set Himself as higher and Lord of all) It's also why He came to us by immaculate conception--to state that He was His own Father and not a real Son of man. If our flesh disappears, then what do we see--Ourselves and God as one being. Same with Jesus--He was the Father/creator in the flesh or He would have to deny Himself. I believe it was difficult for God to explain to us how He is all things and all life but at the same time was completely present in one body--He did this while concealing Himself in hidden wisdom and parables.
God is the head, brain and life of His body of believers and His name is Jesus Christ. This is how mankind was created in the image of God.
Our head, brain and life are one and the same but look different---but only the spirit within is really us and life but at the same time joined with God.

Did God have a Son or did he pretend to be the son he never had?

The angel appeared to a teen age virgin and gave her these promises:
---thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
---and bring forth a son,
---and shalt call his name Jesus.
---He shall be great,
---and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
---and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
---And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
---and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Mary responded, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

The angel told her:"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
