I am not certain that Jesus ever claimed to be a "ben-Elohim" = Son of the Celestials, the "gods.. "
I am certain that he never claimed to be a "ben-YHWH", a Son of the God of Israel.
He does, of course, claim to be "ben-h'adam" (ben-huh-DAHM), i.e. Son of Man, Son of the Earthling...But this is the Essene eschatological term, a code word for the Messiah, and is the same word used in Dan 7 and elsewhere in Messianic works Essene, apocryphal, and canonical.

Didn't He
by implication
claim to be The Son of The God of Israel
in His admitting that Almighty Father God was HIS HEAVENLY FATHER?
