I'm reminded of something attributed to Abraham Lincoln:
If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a sheep have??
4
Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.
So, circling back to the topic, calling the relationship between God and Jesus "father and son" doesn't make it "father and son", and believing it to be is not consistent with any possibility of Salvation.
Can the folks defending the appellation of "father and son" cite an example in what, for lack of a better term, I'll call real life?
Is there a Melvin (age 83) and Bruce Wiltfang (age 58) of Rascal Corners, Ohio*, who share the same relationship between themselves that Jesus and God share?? How about somewhere in India?? South America???
Come on, trot out an example. (I'd request a Venn diagram or even a family tree of God Jesus, but I think I might be taxing intellects too much as it is)
*I'm trying to prompt someone to come forward with an example

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
