Thank you for your response. Obviously, we are miles apart on this and the distance seems to be increasing. I believe, however, that God can work through either understanding That is not to say that there is more than one truth on a subject. Rather, it is to declare our God as sovereign in essence, power and influence. I guess this comes down to what Debbie has been discussing with DAveH. Is God bigger than our perceptions of Him and His doctrine?

I just think it argued more for the Divinity of Christ rather than the idea of eternal sonship. Both you and Bill seem to hammer two ideas in discussing this topic: 1) Jesus is the eternal God 2) Jesus has a relationship in the Godhead best understood by us as a Father / Son relationship. I do not disagree with either of these concepts. Rather, I affirm them both as being true. My primary concern with this subject has to do with how we interpret Scripture. What does the Scripture mean when it says, "this day I have begotten you." The Holy Ghost has a specific message here. In the earlier discussion, I was not too sure about it, but as the discussion progressed, I think Judy made her case very well. Adam Clark also makes some good points about it. The Biblical passage is referring to his incarnation when he became son of man, son of David, son of God. Peace be with you.
