“eternally begotten”

That term is not just unscriptural, it’s contradictory. It’s like some theologians knew they couldn’t get away with removing the verses that say ‘begotten’, without being called out.

There’s a video of pastor Gino Jennings, of Philadelphia, reading modified verses from the homo produced “Queen James Bible”. The ‘editors’ of that book were justifying an opinion by tweaking the wording. Jennings tosses it in the trash at the end.

“God the Son” and “God the Holy Spirit (Ghost)” are also not found in the scriptures. Were those phrases created to help strengthen an opinion?

The “gotquestions” dude gave an opinion based on a preconceived notion, but no scripture references. I suppose I should send him the scriptures I pointed to in this thread, and see how he interprets them.

Where is the Father not at?

Are you “boatbums of Florida”, or “Florida the boatbums”?

"Eternally Begotten" is not some perverse semantical trick, nor is it contradictory at all. Think about this...if the Father is the "Everlasting Father", then the Son is the Eternally Begotten Son. There was never a time when the Father was not nor the Son nor the Holy Spirit. You keep fighting against the words theologians through the centuries have used to attempt to put into words the truths that God HAS revealed to us through His word about Him as best as is humanly possible to comprehend. You ignore them at your own risk.

Please! NOBODY has denied the omnipresence of God.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

A child is born - a son is GIVEN. The Son was given, the Son didn't BECOME the son when He was given - He always was the Son. This Son is the "mighty God" and the "Everlasting Father". For those who quibble and say Jesus was only "mighty God" but not the "Almighty God", we can show them Psalm 50:1 "The mighty God, even the LORD, has spoken" or Isaiah 44:6 “This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. or Isaiah 43:10,11 "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."
