Yes.
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
You can take that as either humans or non-humans.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
This is likely not a group of humans.
Job 38:4-7
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
This cannot be humans.
Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. "
This is fairly clearly referring to humans.
Galatians 3:26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
This definitely refers to humans.
As for Jesus being God in the flesh, that would require a much longer post, so I refer you to the thread, "Christ is God"... https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/christ-is-god.153694/
