Jesus is not God therefore he is not eternal. So Jesus is not really a Son? Jesus is not really begotten? Jesus is not a firstborn? Jesus didn't receive eternal life? The only way you can get around these plain truths presented by the bible is if you obscure what they are about with philosophy.

I respect your commitment to Scripture, but you really need to be open to the idea Christ may be something more in Scripture.

If a verse comes that could possibly be interpreted in more than one way, prior commitments and presuppositions hold sway.

This is why we must turn to prayer first of all, because these truths ultimately must come by revelation from God himself.
