Under Trinitarianism, the analogy of human fathers and sons isn't a good one. Reason why is that the Father and the Son (in the Trinity) are not separate beings with independent wills, but rather they're one and the same being (along with the Holy Spirit) with basically the same will.

Same being? It depends what passages from the Bible you take

Which is why various doctrines arose in an attempt to reconcile such difficulties. For example (within some Protestant circles at least) while the Father and the Son are one in being, the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father in terms of roles.

These doctrines end up being absurd from our POVs, sure. But let's not pretend our counter is ever as easy as throwing a few Bible verses that we see, at first glance, contradict each other.
