The meanings for many titles overlap. Many of the ideas an meanings related to Jesus being ‘Son Of God’ can be taken from other titles such as Messiah, Saviour and Son of man. For example the meaning of ‘Son Of God’ at Jesus time was a Messianic title the same as calling him Messiah. This means that if you drop the title then you will still be teaching the same things about Jesus.
Some Christians are not even in agreement as to what this title actually means. Some Christians believe that it means “Jesus is Gods Son” while others believe it means “Jesus is a son of God”. If we drop the title there will be no more arguments as to its meaning.
Other Christians believe that the title should be kept. They would say that the title confirms Jesus relationship with the Trinity. An example of this is at Jesus baptism where God says “You are my Son, the Beloved” (Mark 1:10). Here all three parts of the trinity were present.
If everyone gave up on something when it got tough to do, then this world would be filled with lazy people. Just because something is difficult to do or understand is no reason the give up or forget about it. In Mark a Gospel for today (Danes) it says that we should always try to understand things we did not understand.

Jesus is greeted as the ‘Son Of God’ twice by his father while on earth. This shows us that this title has special importance to Christians as it is what God called Jesus. This also highlights key factors of his public ministry such as his preaching of the good news and performing miracles.
In conclusion I believe that every title of Jesus should be kept as they all have different meanings and they all tell us something different about Jesus person.
However I also believe that jesus was a very good person, he was kind and compassionate and showed this for others, he had all of the attributes that of the Son of God, he was indeed the son of God. However I personally believe that Jesus was all three, he conformed to be all three and he resurrected as the Son of Man and was described as the Son of God.
