    The first verse of Mark calls him the Son of God.

    In some versions. Not all. Additionally there are lines where it is clear that Joseph is the daddy.

        Is Joseph the daddy or not? I recommend the book Misquoting Jesus. He does a pretty decent job showing that the Bible editors tried to shift references to Joseph being the biological parents to being the stepfather. Which indicates strongly that the Q document didn’t have that idea. It was an invention by the author of Matthew that the author of Luke and Acts liked.

            Odd. Alright Luke 2:41-52. Watch how Mary talks about Joseph as his father.

            As I said very likely Q had the story without the son of god being a literal son (Aramaic the same word for son is follower) and Roman legends of children of gods were pressed into place.

            The Bible is a very very human book. It contradicts itself and earlier versions of itself because people argue.
