The scripture does not give us a “God the Son”’ it does give us the son of God. What that passage gives us is the narrative spoken throughout the NT: God raised Christ from the dead, God exalted Jesus to the highest position in creation (yet that position is not above God), an operation since that time is taking place, which includes the believers in Christ, enemies and rule subdued, the return of Christ to earth, death dealt with, the kingdom established, and then Christ returning the reigns over to the one who gave them to him, which is God.

The prophesy is “sit at my right hand until I put you enemies under your feet”. That is what is taking place today. When that is finally accomplished, then comes the “until” when God becomes all in all. As far as what that looks like, and where we are at on this timetable, I don’t know.

In the scripture, God is God and Christ is Christ. There is not a trinity God presented. The narrative of scripture is One God, the Father.

I notice you say that Christ's position is not above God, thus implicitly conceding that the Bible states that Christ is on the same level as God. And why not? After all this is the same one the Bible says was in the beginning with God, was God, became flesh and dwelled among us.
