Better terminology for "Father and Son" ?

For God and Jesus. Father and Son. Think about it. Their relationship is fundamentally different than any human father and son EVER. Use of the phrase, to me, seems to deny the scope/extent/degree/nature of their relationship and misleads those attempting to be faithful to them.
Just throwing this out, but the relationship might be more akin to budding, although I concur it is incomplete too, but less misleading than the 'father and son' label.
Additionally, 'Father and son' implies (asserts?) a genetic contribution from Mary. That can't be possible, as the (for lack of a better term) resultant hybrid would definitely NOT be the original, and would be denying the Trinity in it's essential constitution, which we know to be false.
I'm aware of the limitation of words and wordsmithing, but the term "Father and Son" in regards to God and Jesus is so far off the mark that to use it is equivalent of heresy.
There has to be a better way of saying it.

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