>>Lewis’ argument is that same that any sane reader of Scripture would
arrive at>>

Your claim, then, is that anyone who does not agree with you is insane?

Come on, Moorad.

>>If you claim that there are all sorts of possibilities,
then you are indicating that Scripture is untrue,
and so Jesus is not the Son of God. >>

That may be my candidate for the worst syllogism of the year.

I claim only that, from a purely logical viewpoint, there are other
possibilities.
To make that claim says 0 about scripture; it is a statement about an
argument.
Of course, from a logical viewpoint, Jesus' position as the Son of God is
unaffected by whether scripture happens to be:
(1) inerrant
(2) infallible but not inerrant
(3) fairly accurate
(4) a fairy story

Merry Christmas, Moorad.
