The Eternal Son

Instead of making up a confusing unBiblical doctrine, we could simply accept what Gabriel told Mary in Luke 1:35, giving us the true reason whey Jesus, at birth, was called the Son of God. Nothing like that had ever happened before, so we know that He was not the Son of God until He was born. References to "the Son" before His birth appear as prophecies foretelling His birth.
So you have your very own list... read the links at YOUR leisure but content is noted below each.

This in bot unbiblical doctrine... unless you are an anti-Trin and frankly I have lost count of who is and who is not.

You do not understand because you chose not to check it out.... Now you have a chance.


The doctrine of eternal generation harkens back to the early stages of the Christian church.
It arises directly from scriptural statements about the Son's unique nature and is rooted in the early Church's firm refusal to make the Son merely a creature. Properly understood, Eternal Generation guards the unity of the one divine essence, honors the distinctive Persons of the Trinity
One of the most essential doctrines for a Christian understanding of the Trinity is eternal generation. When the equality of the Son with the Father was thrown into question in the fourth century, the church fathers turned to the doctrine of eternal generation.
The eternal generation of the Son is a Trinitarian doctrine, which is defined as a necessary and eternal act of God the Father, in which he generates (or begets) God the Son through communicating the whole divine essence to the Son.

As a thought experiment, I decided to examine the evidence for eternal generation in the writings of one of the most important trinitarian theologians in the early church—-Augustine of Hippo (354-430).
As I explored his discussion, I discovered that Augustine’s case for eternal generation does not depend on the mistranslation of monogenes but is deeply rooted in the way Scripture portrays the relation of the Son to the Father. I was surprised by the breadth of biblical evidence Augustine marshaled. Although one might assume that Augustine’s commitment to eternal generation is merely rooted in a handful of dubious “proof texts,” nothing could be further from the truth. This doctrine is rooted in a rigorous and comprehensive Trinitarian hermeneutic.


Eternal generation means we don't bring all our ideas about sonship and apply them to him; we learn from the eternally begotten one what he means by calling himself the Son of God. Why This Is Important How important is eternal generation? Its fundamental value is that it tells the truth

Eternal Generation explains "begotten" in such a way that the Son is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father.
Eternal generation is a teaching that might seem unfamiliar at first, but many Christians are already accustomed to speaking about it through reciting the Nicene Creed. The second article of the Creed speaks about the Son’s eternal generation by using the language of “begetting”: the Lord Jesus Christ is “the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.”
the church fathers appealed to the scriptural teaching that the Son is not a creature external to God but is the eternal offspring of the Father and proper to the very essence of God.

"Eternal generation" aims to explain what "eternal sonship" means, or how "eternal sonship" comes about.

3rd Time Asking

Speak from You and the scriptures on this question = Who are "these two persons" ???
 
"he is all of them" is Modalism = One person who can change Mode from Father to Son to Holy Spirit

JESUS is not "all three of Them"

Who are the "two persons" that you posted???
There is an Eternal Father, Son, Holy Spirit . There was never a time when the 3 Divine Persons were not. They are not each other but have the same divine nature, substance, essence, being shared between Tgem as the One God who is Tri-Personal.

hope this helps !!!
 
Who are the "two persons" that you posted???

I ain't gonna do it like that.

I ain't gonna keep re-answering the same things you ask over and over again.

I am also not gonna keep re-explaining things when there are written links that offer biblical reasons for why
a term is valid.

Find someone else to harass or play with or better yet take your marbles outside and play while you still have some.

Adios
 
Where is @FreeInChrist ???

@FreeInChrist, you estimated that Jesus Christ is "two persons"
@civic , you were named in one of the summons for me so you might as well read along.

I just reposted again. I hope by the end of the next school year you read past the 6th grade level.

Eternal Generation starts with a Father.... who shares his essence and the same substance with the Son. The Holy Spirit is not part of these two other then being the 3rd in the God head.

If you would just look at one or two of the links I sent you, you might start to see what eternal generation... or as they insist on calling it... eternal begotten truly means.


Good bye.

I ain't gonna keep re-answering the same things you ask over and over again.

I am also not gonna keep re-explaining things when there are written links that offer biblical reasons for why
a term is valid.

Find someone else to harass or play with or better yet take your marbles outside and play while you still have some.

Adios
All of the above i KNOW

JESUS is One Person of ELOHIM = HE is not two persons as you suggested in your posts.

JESUS is not one person as a man AND another person who is God

JESUS is the Word that was God and became flesh = One Person

There does NOT exist in Scripture "eternally begotten" which is the same as "eternally generated" = major error

This is why i posted all of the TRUTH that Declares that "Today, I have begotten You" only pertains to the Word becoming flesh.
 
If any of you get a chance please read this thread as I posted a couple of my friends work who were/are theologians on the Trinity.

Yet there is the Eternal Son who is without begining in the exact same way as the Eternal Father. :)

As an FYI I can and do argue from both the sole biblical view of the Godhead and the extra biblical/historical/creedal view of the Trinity. It all depends which I need to defend and who I'm engaging online or in person. :)

I believe the general understanding of the Trinity is flawed. I believe the truth is: Each of the three persons is distinct from the others, yet at the same time, each IS the other. You cannot say that each of the 3 is God, and yet at the same time say that they are not each other. If the Father is God and Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God - then they HAVE TO BE each other. No, I am not a Modalist. I am a Bibleist. But don't take my word for it. What does the Bible say?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (distinct from), and the Word was God ( the same)."
"Now the Lord is the Spirit." Jesus IS the Holy Spirit.
"The son shall be called ... Everlasting Father" Jesus IS the Father.
We know from Acts 5:3-4 that the Holy Spirit is the Father.

Three of you all are saying the same things
and thinking each one is wrong .
But what most do not see is
the basic faith is being abandoned . I am watching so called triniatarians
and etc getting pulled into the same web of deciet .
So one simple question
and then let us get busy contending for the true faith
of which many have fled for interfaith .
WHO Here agrees
That in the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD
and The WORD was GOD .
WHO here agrees that this comforter we recieve is OF CHRIST , IS OF GOD .
THAT GOD IS HIS WORD , HE IS HIS SPIRIT .
And HIS WORD did become flesh .
That GOD was manifest in the flesh
as sayeth paul when writing to timothy .
Because we got us a far more serious problem .
That while some can still see the true Godhead
even they are heading right into a false love that simply will not correct all sins , all errors
within the beleivers and has led to a moutain of leaven coming in
and leading them all right to the lie .
I mean most folks dont even beleive JESUS OWN WORDS anymore
We got problems . major ones .

you all are saying the same things . Its liken unto this parable
One side when looking at mud says , Hey its water and dirt
and the other side says , NO you silly its Hydrogen dioxide and dirt .
But what many do not seem to beleive anymore
ARE ALL THE WORDS of HE who was before all that was even was
and that by HIM and through HIM were all things created
At most they pick and choose what version of what THEY THINK is love and is of GOD
that supports whatever they WANTED it to say .
WE got scholars all over the place
Men so learned , so learned in greek , in hermeuntics , in context
in exegeis , But sadly cannot even discern the most basic and simple truth
THAN ANY BABE could have known . WE got problems .
Did you know that one could even teach a parrot to quoate the words of truth
BUT HOW MUCH YOU BET that bird DONT KNOW the TRUTH .
I say that for a good reason and not to accuse you or anyone else here .
This generation IS in dire trouble . It seems to be ever learning
but it darn sure dont seem to be able to even come to the basic knowledge
ANY baby sheep would have known on the day of its rebirth .

ABSOLUTELY NO = We are NOT saying the same thing

Two are seeking to establish a falsehood = eternally begotten/eternal generation
 
Challenge accepted - Thank You


Can man, any man, define the Glory that he was not privy to see??? = Glory BEFORE, not after
No one but the LORD Himself knows of the Glory HE had before laying it aside and coming to earth.

We know through the Scriptures and reason. Such glory was manifest within the confines of nature and our human existence. The Father answered Jesus Christ the Son. He wasn't silent in ignoring the prayer of the Son.

This leaves everyone with only one path by which we can pursue such an unseen endeavor that Transcends Time, Place and Knowledge.
This Path is Called "The WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE" = "The WORD that was God at the beginning"
Within Genesis to Revelation is the ONLY Source given to us to examine and to pray for understanding.

No. We learn from nature or the context of our existence. God brought us into life.

The only place in Scripture of the Heavenly Glory of, the Word that was God, is in Revelation chapter 1 and yet even that is not all encompassing.

This is a good conversation. There is "glory" in many things.

1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

Notice that this is earthbound 'glory' = Solomon at his peak/slender and the flowers growing = "they do not work or spin!!!

You keep of glory being "bound" with the earth. The heavens declare His glory.

JESUS is declaring that the seeming simplest and weakest structure of the Creation is far Superior to man's ingenuity.

I disagree. For example, within the context of human limitations, we can produce a light that is far superior to any external light known to us.

The only difference is perception. What is close to use exceeds in glory to what is far from us. It is a matter of perception and distance.

Man lives on an enclosed environment. Man cannot create, he can only use or abuse that which God created for us.

We can fabricate. We can even combine substances into "new to us" forms of matter. What limits us really is knowledge and the capacity to retain knowledge.

Notice God's Wrath upon mankind who abused His Creation for self-serving means filled with a lust for power and
hatred towards "man made in the image of God'. = Revelation 11:18

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

I agree.

Summation: There was Glory that only ELOHIM and perhaps the angels were privy to BEFORE the world was created.

I disagree. While this might be true to some degree. You would have to believe that the Son asked the Father for something that the Father refused. This presents a circumstance wherein the Father and Son are opposed to one another.

We are privy to this: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,

Glory Defined: "the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
This "glory" includes all that Christ displayed on earth, as a man who Fulfilled the Father's Good Pleasure where Adam failed.

SHALOM

Adam was young and incapable of maturing to the point of understanding his own actions and the consequences of such. Even Adam had to learn. Adam learned from the animals God gave to help him. Yet Adam could learn what he needed to know from just them. Adam needed more.

There is somewhere I'd like to go from here but I don't know if we can really get there from here.....I don't want to lose you in this but....

This nonsense that exists in believe that Adam was "all knowing" and "perfect" when Adam was formed is impossible to believe. This has negatively affected so many areas of theology that it is seemingly impossible for men to understand/know "God" anymore. I see it more and more that I live. I see it myself and most every other.

The Character of God that is often presented in various theologies is just a reflect of the desires of man to rule over others. This is reflected in our theologies. It is reflected in the husband wife dynamic it is reflected in man's view of God's Character itself.

People actually believe that God wants to rule mankind like a "king" would rule his people. I once thought the same. I don't believe that anymore.

We see what we want to see in the "glory" of God. Such glory/Character is first PURE.....
 
I believe the general understanding of the Trinity is flawed. I believe the truth is: Each of the three persons is distinct from the others, yet at the same time, each IS the other. You cannot say that each of the 3 is God, and yet at the same time say that they are not each other. If the Father is God and Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God - then they HAVE TO BE each other. No, I am not a Modalist. I am a Bibleist. But don't take my word for it. What does the Bible say?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (distinct from), and the Word was God ( the same)."
"Now the Lord is the Spirit." Jesus IS the Holy Spirit.
"The son shall be called ... Everlasting Father" Jesus IS the Father.
We know from Acts 5:3-4 that the Holy Spirit is the Father.
They are not each other since that’s Modalism by definition. They share the same attributes yet are distinct as Persons. You are conflating Persons with nature, essence , being, substance.
 
Someone mind explaining the difference between the two .
eternally begotten verse eternal generation .
They are the same = just presented/worded differently but exactly the same.

This is jehoovee whitless heresy = claiming that the Son was begotten BEFORE coming to earth, created by God

This is how error creeps in = by ignoring "It is written" and then adding our own words & imaginations to scripture.

All Scripture Prophesies of One who is Coming AND when HE comes HE will be called the Son of God

Psalm 2:7
“I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

Hebrews 1:5-6
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”?
Or again:
“I will be His Father,
and He will be My Son”
And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

Elohim never begot the WORD that was God in Eternity

Elohim sent the Elohim Word that became flesh = the only begotten of the FATHER

The Advent of Elohim/God coming as a man whereby the SON of Righteousness appeared on earth to all men.

There does not exist in Scripture a verse that says the FATHER begot/generated the SON before HE came to earth as a man.

the WORD always was with God and was God until the Time came for Salvation = Isaiah 6:1-8

A distinction without a difference.

But the Eternal Son and only begotten/ eternal generated/begotten can be different depending upon who’s definitions one affirms or sides with on the doctrine.

I can affirm monogenes and eternal Son together by Greek Lexicon definitions where they have the same meaning and are synonymous terms.
