Many are confused about what it means to be God or a god. A god is a heavenly being. One heavenly being is higher than all the others and is known for fatherliness. There were cities which made certain heavenly beings their patrons and all such patrons were called the gods of a nation. They recognised one Most High God existed but got confused about which god was supreme. This one supreme God was singled out by Himself as God when in ancient times He commanded the Israelites - descendants of His friend Abraham - to only count Him as national god (Elohim). The Son of Man is the one son of this fatherly supreme God and was so before any other heavenly beings existed so the Son of Man is firstborn. He is therefore a heavenly being - a god - but fully human. He is not the Most High God but is Son (firstborn Son) of the Most High God.
