Featured The Eternal Son.

What I think needs to be pointed out, while typically all the references to the Son of God as the Son can be arguably said to only refer to the post incarnate Son of God. None of them, by the way, can be use to prove the pre-incarnate Sonship of the Son of God cannot be true. There are these two sides here.

John 1:18, "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." John 1:18 refers to the Son at the side of the Father as the one who appears visibly for the inisible God. The implication can be interpretated that it was as the Son in Genesis 12:7 being the LORD God. Showing the Son to be the preincarnate Son of God and the LORD God too. The reading "only begotten God" disallows this.

 

Insults? The fact that the written word of God nowhere explicitly teaches in any way (except the incarnation) the Son becoming the Son through being "begotten." What is explicity a false teaching, "begotten from the Father before all ages." It has no explicit Biblical basis what so ever. And for this lie Bible Christians have been called unorthodox, apostate and even banned on Christian forums as Christians. Insults?

 

Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." This is explicitly a post incarnation, post resurrection statement. And goes with the yet future 1 Corinthians 15:28, ". . . And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." And the Son stepping down does not mean He ever had stop from always being God too, John 1:1-3; John 1:9-10; Hebrews 1:2-3; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16-17.

 

I believe in the eternal Sonship, that the Son of God was always the Son of God.

I hate this false doctine of what is commonly used as a basis of Christian fellowship. ". . . begotten from the Father before all ages, . . . ."

 

We got to find out how to be part of the solution, and not be part of the problem. We need to love our brothers and sisters in Christ even when we think they are in error.

 

It is bad theology, ". . . It is now my conviction that the begetting spoken of in Psalm 2 and Hebrews 1 is not an event that takes place in time. . . ." Psalms 2:7 and Hebrews 1:5-6 refer to the post incarnate Son in regard to His bodily resurrection, Acts of the Apostles 13:33. The word translated "this day" is not referring to eternity but the occurance of Christ's bodily resurrection. I fail to understand how Bible believers can be so blind.
