The Eternal Son

Yes, I agree, but he also was THE life, which is an attribute of God.

So the only harmonization is that God is multi-personal and beget multiple persons within his essence.

The Word was in the bosom of the Father in the beginning.

And no, despite your wanton claims, people are not called gods willy nilly in Scripture, it's exceedingly rare.
He's called the life because he got his life from God and was authorized to give life later on.
 
op: Eternal SON?
All I know is:

"Thus saith The LORD the King of Israel, and his Redeemer The LORD of hosts;​
I AM The First, and I AM The Last; and beside Me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6 AV)​
+
"Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I AM He; I AM The First, I also AM The Last."​
(Isaiah 48:12 AV)​
+
"And from Jesus Christ, Who is The Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the dead...​
Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him:​
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. I AM Alpha and Omega,​
The Beginning and The Ending, Saith The Lord, Which Is, and Which [ Eternally ] Was, and​
Which Is To Come, The Almighty.​
+
I John...heard behind me A Great Voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I AM Alpha and Omega, The First
and The Last:... And when I saw Him, I fell at His Feet as dead. And He Laid His Right Hand Upon​
me, Saying unto me, Fear not; I AM The First and The Last: I AM He That liveth, and Was Dead;​
and, behold, I AM alive for evermore, Amen...​
+
...And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;These things Saith The First and The Last,​
Which Was Dead, and is alive;" (Revelation 1:5-11, 17-18, 2:8 AV)​

Amen!
 
Scripture says the Son , not Jesus or the Word was together with the Father before creation sharing the same glory together with the Father. So by default that makes the Son ETERNAL.

And once again using your logic and reasoning the Word in John 1:1 is not Eternal.
So you're ignoring Luke 1:35 AGAIN? Why are you avoiding that verse like the plague? I'll make it easy for you. Just fill in the blank.
Gabriel said that the reason Jesus would be called the Son of God was ___________________?

This is Christianity 101. Actually it's much simpler than that. It's the English language 101.
 
We do not know for the Scripture does not dictate to us as such.
Yes, there is; Isa 9:6 says “unto us a son is given”, a direct reference to Jesus. The son will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father.

The fact that “a son” is given to us, the logical conclusion is that the son given is the son of the one who is giving him to us, which is God! God is telling us he is sending his son…

Yes, of course we know that is The Father sending the Son = BECAUSE of this = Isaiah 46:9

Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,

And I will do all My pleasure,’

In Eternity Past, before Creation, Elohim determined FATHER/SON/HOLY SPIRIT
Then THEY Created = Genesis

We are not told when the decided but we are told why.

Furthermore, there are SECRETS/HIDDEN TRUTH, that only Elohim knows of and will not reveal it to anyone.

Hint: Jesus is not an eternal son, hence the Bible calls him begotten repeatedly, and created in more than a few places.
μονογενής, μονογενές (μόνος and γένος) (Cicero,unigena; Vulg. (in Lukeunicus, elsewhere) and in ecclesiastical writingsunigenitus), single of its kind, only (A. V. only-begotten); used of only sons or daughters (viewed in relation to their parents) Thayer

The concept of singularity is the point of emphasis here; in human terms, being born or coming into existence is a necessary nuance of meaning, but the force of the import is on singularity of type and being.

The one you say is "God the Son" is said to have been born or begotten in the Bible though. Right?
