In the past I’ve devoted much space to “making my case” from the Scriptures and find that for the majority their beliefs will trump the Scriptures every time, for instance the use of the term “God the Son”, whereas neither Jesus nor anyone else ever referred to Him as “God the Son” but time after time as “Son of God”, quite a different thing.

You have overlooked a major point!

Jesus Christ is not a son of God in the same sense as others. He is the ONLY-BEGOTTEN Son of God, as we read in John 1:14, 1:18, 3:16, 3:18, and 1 John 4:9. The Greek is monogenes, which is mono (one) and genes (kind). Jesus is one of a kind, the UNIQUE Son of God, deity from deity.

I have not overlooked a major point, it simply wasn’t the point I was making. But thank you for enriching my post with your comments.

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
