The Son was the created flesh that the Father manifested himself in. This is what you must realize. Father=Spirit and Son=Flesh. Jesus was in the flesh therefore He was the Son. His spirit is not the spirit of a man but the Spirit of God. The false doctrine of "divine flesh" states that the Son was God. Let me ask you this...if the flesh of Jesus Christ (the Son) was God, could he have been tempted with evil? (remember the scripture says that God is not tempted with evil) Could he have died? This truth is the truth of the Mighty God in Christ, but we must realize the dual nature of Jesus Christ. Flesh and Spirit. Father and Son.
Nobody said "God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost"

The Son, in Oneness, is not a skin suit, the Son is not an impersonal it, just skin that God was inside of. The Son was a person who spoke and did things.

Divine flesh is NOT the doctrine that the Son is God. The doctrine of Divine flesh teaches His humanity was not inherited through Mary but was of a heavenly origin.

The Son IS Jesus. Jesus is the name of the Son. The Dual nature doctrine is that Jesus (the Son) is both God and man.

From David Bernard, the Oneness of the Godhead, chapter 5 "The Son of God"

He has two natures.
"From the Bible we see that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures in a way that no other human being has ever had"

"Son of God may refer solely to the human nature or it may refer to God manifested in flesh - that is, deity in the human nature."

"Man could not see the invisible God, so God made an exact likeness of Himself in flesh, impressed His very nature in flesh, came Himself in flesh, so that man could see and know Him."

"As stated above, "Son" does not always refer to the humanity alone but to the deity and humanity together as they exist in the one person of Christ"

"What is the significance of the title "Son of God"? It emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus"

"When Peter confessed that Jesus was "the Christ, the Son of the living God," he recognized the Messianic role and deity of Jesus (Matthew 16:16). The Jews understood what Jesus meant when He called Himself the Son of God and when He called God His Father, for they tried to kill Him for claiming to be God (John 5:18; 10:33). In short, the title "Son of God" recognizes the humanity while calling attention to the deity of Jesus. It means God has manifested Himself in flesh."

"These verses describe the eternal Spirit that was in the Son - the deity that was later incarnated as the Son - as the Creator."
