“But the Son certainly does, repeatedly, including preincarnately; so your supposition has the advantage of feasibility, in addition to being a logical deduction and the best theory covering all the revealed facts. So, I agree. I like that first one too—that’s why it’s first.”
One of Jesus’ Names is ‘Everlasting Father’, so portraying Him in a Fatherly way is consistent with Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
