Is The Eternal Sonship of Jesus Christ Biblical? Part 3

[percho]

Does Jesus depend upon the Father to exist then?

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety Heb 5:7 Darby


Is that the Word of Truth and was it absolutely necessary for eternal salvation?

Darby V 9 and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

Was it absolutely necessary for, having been perfected?

You're thinking in terms of office and not relationship and are way off track. Anyway, my point is that the eternal Son was, is and ever shall be the Only Begotten of the Father, not by virtue of His Incarnation, but by virtue of His endless life.

Elaborate a little on endless life.

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Heb 2:9 NIV
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Rom 2:9
Acts 13:34 'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

Was there ever a pause in that endless death?


What does only begotten, imply? Who, what, how does it modify in both John 1:14, and in18 where Son is added?

These are mysteries. Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. He became weak enough to die, but death could not hold Him ( Acts of the Apostles 2:24 ). And that's all I can say about that. Contemplating the Trinity is profitable to inspire awe and wonder, but you'll never get your mind around it. Not in this life.

 

[Aaron]

He had eternal life within Himself though, not dependent upon the Father....

I believe I said that. He is the eternal Son.
