Τεκνα not υιοι is used in the Greek. Tekna means what is conceived. Tekna can imply adoption when uios is not used. But mankind is not the uioi of god.

And here is the verse.

1John 3:2 Ἀγαπητοί νῦν τέκνα θεοῦ ἐσμεν

Τεκνα no υιοι is in the Greek. There is a big difference, one is about bearing and conception, the other about progeny. We are not progenies υιοι of god Θεου.

There is a difference between a lesser god and a demigod.

In Norse mythology Thor was a lesser god, Thor was a full god but not the ruler of the gods.
In Greek mythology Heracles was a demigod, Heracles was half god and half man.

Jesus was a full god before the incarnation, Jesus was a full human during the incarnation, Jesus is now a full god after the resurrection and transformation.

Let's just put aside the fables and Greek mythology, and look at the facts.

Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ was fully God before He became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:1, John 1:14

No, He did not stop being God when He took on human flesh.
Emmanuel = God with us.
He chose to live as a servant...losing none of His Deity.

No, he did not stop being a man when He was resurrected. He remains God and Man.

1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.​

Fables and myths have some basis in fact.

Unfortunately for your argument, none of what you are saying is taught by the Bible.
In fact, most of what you just said here goes against the clear teaching of the Bible.
The myth that God Himself became Jesus is just that: a myth.
The reality is that God Himself SENT His Son and that Jesus is the Son of God that was SENT.

True, Jesus was 100% human and 0% divine during the incarnation.

Our great God came and dwelt among us.

He spoke as a human being when He spoke of His Father.

The Bible doesn't teach that.
The Bible teaches that our great God SENT His Son and that the Son of God put aside His divinity to become human.
