Eternal Generation of the Son (Aseity)

YOU believe in scripture alone, sola scripture

Jesus was to be the offspring of the woman. [Genesis 3:15]
Jesus was to fulfill the promise to Abraham: I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” [Genesis 22:17,18]; Jesus was to be the prophet like Moses whom God would raise up - I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him [Deut. 18:18,19]; Jesus was to be the offspring of David - When your days are fulfilled to walk with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you, but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever. [1 Chronicles 17:11-14; 2 Samuel 7:12-14a]....... and many more prophecies - so yes, Jesus was before Abraham through prophecy, in God's plans and in God's foreknowledge.

It's good to know what you believe and why.
Whose denying the Covenant of Redemption. In the Covenant of Grace God promises that he will save His people from their sins. God predicated that they will be his people and he will be their God. in Jeremiah 31, it is God who swears an oath that He will do to redeem his people by becoming a curse for them.​

But Paul was speaking about a seed of the women, not to seeds, meaning many.

Gal. 3:16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
1 John 5:
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Know what you believe and why you believe it.
 
Not a Trinitarian brother but just thought I'd add a little tidbit:

one is also in the neuter hen at John 17:22 - And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
Before I address this. Your comments on the neuter on John 10:30?
 
Titus 2:13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
