So we have to accept both.

I thought you were coming from the perspective that the Son is eternal. But I saw you contradicted that earlier.

"Eternal Son" is an oxymoron! I encourage you to read the book (no, I'm not interested in getting you to change your doctrine).

Well, if that is not the most scholarly and mature response I've read yet... not. Are all trinitarians this deep?

Why do you feel the need to apologize for what you don't believe?

I do not apologize for what I do not believe. I apologize to you because I simply disagree with you and what you might think of me as a resuilt. IOW, sorry, but I cannot agree with you.

In that case how would you answer John 17:5 and 24 (re 'Son' at verse 1), Hebrews 1:2 and Colossians 1:13-18 all of which use the word 'SON' and states that the Son existed and did things as the Son (thoughts can't do things) from before the creation?
