He was meek so he didn't talk about it much.
Meek, you say? Because he sure did talk about himself being the son of God an awful lot.
Actually, he never does. The closest he comes is telling others that that's what they're free to call him. He calls himself the son of man.
All still bullshit, but I like to be accurate about bullshit.
Perhaps he just implies it, referring to God as his father.
He never blatantly says it, but there's definitely a "wink wink, nudge nudge" thing going on. That said, plenty of early Christians didn't consider him THE son of god, just A son of god.
It’s kind of hard to know much about what early Christians thought, mostly because of how much of early Christianity was rewritten and re-translated over and over again.
But what we do know is kind of interesting
We know a fair amount of what the Gnostics believed because we have found very early copies of Gnostic gospels. But it's debated about whether or not to call them Christians.
