What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

[FredVB]

Jesus is the incarnation as God. As Logos, the Word with God who is God, he is eternal sharing in being the one God. I do not find the phrase eternally begotten son in the Bible. I see Jesus is the incarnation of God. Luke 1:32 shows it being said before he was born that he would be called the Son of the Highest, God.

What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

An evil generation seeks miraculous proof (Matt. 12:39, 16:4); all souls walk by faith (2Cor. 5:7),
but the evidence that justifies confidence (Heb. 13:6) is the empty tomb (1Cor. 15:20).

What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

There isn't any. If we would all simply acknowledge that certain words in the Bible have more than one meaning, then this particular argument, which has raged on for centuries, would finally come to an end. In the Bible, words like "begat" and "begotten" obviously have more than one meaning. If we apply the wrong meaning of these words to any Bible passage, then we inevitably come away with faulty doctrine.​

 

[BBerean]

Eph 4:6 (really is the truth that solves all the problems if you believe it .
The One God is father of all things including Jesus that’s why Jesus calls God his Father and God calls Jesus his Son . It’s a no brainer as I see it .
Eph 1 v 3 Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ …
V17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ …
Apostle Paul called godliness a mystery so don’t get fooled into trying to figure it out . God keeps things a mystery for his own purposes. I was reading that in the OT recently.

He has been always there eternally, as the Word with God who is God, in full unity. The Son is the designation he has in his incarnation as the human being that became a man, who we know to be Jesus, who had been in Nazareth where he grew up. He can always appear as this man, yet he is really much more, as God. That is not an essential matter of belief for faith any as us are to come to for salvation.

Then you should understand pretty easily that Jesus is the eternally begotten Son of God. The only alternatives to this are Arianism, which is saying that Jesus is a created being, and modalism which says that Jesus is just another mode of God and confuses the Son with the Father. Funny enough both will get you guaranteed to the eternal hellfire.

Heterodoxy does not guarantee one to eternal hellfire. Where is that in scripture? The view that @keepingthingsreal and I have conveyed to you is neither Modalism nor Arianism. The Divine Person who incarnated and became Jesus of Nazareth has always existed as a Divine Person, but became a human named Jesus at the incarnation. The Divine Person in the physical body formed in Mary’s womb had no beginning as a person. He has always existed. But the man Jesus of Nazareth, the body-soul-spirit called Jesus of Nazareth had a beginning. Before the incarnation, the physical body of Jesus did not exist. So, therefore the particular body-soul-spirit man called Jesus of Nazareth did not exist before the incarnation. One does not need to hold to your particular Christology to make sense of scripture. Kenoticism is a fourth possibility.

Right that's your contradiction. I have said no false accusation nor nothing amiss. You can't hold to Jesus both being the eternally begotten Son and also claim that Jesus is a created being that became God only at his resurrection, which is what the followers of Arianism believed. Therefore I suggest to get rid of the heresy that Jesus is only begotten at the resurrection and became God then, and retain that Jesus is the eternally begotten Son of God, very God from very God.

There was no contradiction in @keepingthingsreal ’s explanation. He did not say Jesus became God at His resurrection. He said Jesus became God's only "begotten from the dead” son at the resurrection.

 

[PaulThomson]

If you think Jesus only became Jesus when he was conceived in the flesh of the virgin Mary you're basically flirting with Arianism, that's where you've gone wrong. Jesus was around before even Mary's ancestor Abraham. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Jesus is the only eternally begotten Son of God.

The question which you evaded was "Where does scripture say Jesus was always human, even before the incarnation?"

and the What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

His very works testify of Him. If Jesus said nothing HIS Death, Burial, and Resurrection fulfilled 11 prophecies.
The miracles recorded by the Eyewitnesses and the eyewitnesses who gave up their life to testify to what they saw.

 

[FredVB]

Jesus as God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In his life as a human being he had changed from day to day as humans do. In the incarnation he is known as the Son of God.

What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

Eternally begotten is a contradiction no matter what they say.

2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Jesus has no beginning because He is God.

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.

But Jesus is begotten as the man Christ Jesus.

Because Jesus is God manifest in the flesh God and man.

Jesus is not eternally begotten not as God or man.

Begotten means have a beginning and the term Son means to be fathered or else Son has no meaning.

How can Jesus be eternally begotten as God for then He would have no beginning.

Trying to explain begotten and Son using eternally begotten does not mean anything.

And begotten is talking about the man Christ Jesus which He is the only human that God is His Father.

Jesus is God with no beginning and not coming from the Father eternally.

1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.5

There is only one God the Father.

One God who is a Holy Spirit, and Father is a title for God, and the Son is the man Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6 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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

The Son shall be called the everlasting Father.
And if you have seen Jesus then you have seen the Father.

Because there is only one God the Father.

Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.

Only one throne in heaven God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.

The only person we will see in heaven is Jesus.

Adam made in the image of God.

New Testament Adam made in the image of Christ.

God created Adam in the image He would show up in the future an innocent nature in flesh.

Let us make man in our image has to include the man Christ Jesus for He is part of that image so it is God the Father and the man Christ Jesus.

Which God calls things that has not happened yet as though they already happened so the Son can be considered in the beginning before He is born.

Which the Word was a plan of God to come in the future in flesh which was in the beginning.

Jesus came in the Father's name.

The Son inherited the name in Hebrews 1.

The Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles and name is singular.

Jesus is the name.

Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans all baptized in the name of Jesus.

All we do in word or on deed do all in Jesus' name.

Jesus at the right hand of God.

The man Christ Jesus is the mediator between God and men.

God exalted the man Christ Jesus to exercise the throne of power be at His right hand until His enemies are conquered.

And then He will stop being at the right hand that God may be all in all.

One throne in heaven which is the throne of God and the Lamb who is God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.

And if you have seen Jesus then you have seen the Father.

Jesus is God with no beginning not eternally begotten.

And the Son, the man Christ Jesus, has a beginning, and begotten.

What is the proof Jesus is eternally begotten son?

The word, the eyewitnesses, the empty tomb

The proof that Jesus is the eternally begotten Son is not built on one verse but on a network of biblical claims that only make sense if the Son’s generation is eternal, not temporal.
The NT never teaches that the Son came into existence or was created; instead, it teaches that the Son is from the Father, of the Father, and with the Father, in a way that is eternal, personal, and unique.
The doctrine arises because Scripture forces it — not because theologians invented it.
The Son is eternally begotten because Scripture presents Him as from the Father in a way that is eternal, not historical:
He is the Word who was with God and was God (John 1:1),
the only‑begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father (John 1:18),
the one the Father did not spare but gave (Rom 8:32),
the one who is before all things (Col 1:17),
the one who shares the Father’s name, glory, and throne (John 17:5; Rev 22:1),
and the one who is sent without ever being described as originating in time.
“Begotten, not made” is demanded because the Son is repeatedly described as from the Father yet never as created by the Father;
His sonship is relational, not chronological.
When Jesus says, “I and the Father are one,”
He is not claiming mere unity of purpose but unity of essence, which is why the Jews understood it as a claim to deity.
When He says, “The Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself” (John 5:26),
He is describing eternal communication of life, not a moment of creation.
And when He says, “Before Abraham was, I AM,”
He identifies Himself with the Father’s eternal identity, not as a being who began.
The Son is eternally begotten because Scripture presents Him as eternally from the Father, eternally with the Father, and eternally sharing the Father’s divine nature — a relationship that can only be described as eternal generation, not temporal origin.
