However, you have to change the meaning and lexicon in John 1 to fit your view.

I will ask another question that remains unanswered. If the Son of God is not truly God and truly man, then what is His Nature? Is the Son of God a created Being or did He exist eternally with The Father? If a created Being then what type? A god, angel?

I have not addressed John 1 here because, first, the discussion is somewhat lengthy, and second I wouldn't expect anyone committed to full-blown trinitarianism to buy it anyway.
So it would be a futile exercise.

But the important point to make is that historically, from the very beginning, many followers of Christ understood those words to refer to Christ's divinity without calling Jesus: God Himself.

Do you disagree?
