You do understand that by your calling Jesus the Son of God you have admitted that He was God?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Please notice that one who was made flesh was the WORD from verse 1 who is also called God in verse 1. Now in vrs 14 the word made flesh is called the only begotten.

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Question: is called God in this verse?

Answer: The Son!

Therefore to call Jesus the Son of God is to call Him God.

Glad to see that we actually agree on this.
