If a son comes from/comes into existance after his father, then how can Jesus be coeternal with the Father?

Answer 1

Jesus is not Almighty God.
He is created(Col. 1:15).
He is inferior to his father ( as for the day and the hour only the Father knows).
All those who elevate Jesus to Almighty God's status are blasphemers.

Answer 2

In his divinity, Jesus is the second person of the holy trinity, the only begotten son of the father, who has always existed with the father.

Just as humans children begotten by their human parents are made of human stuff, Jesus, begotten by his divine father, is the same divine and eternal stuff as his father.

Eternal is eternal. Nothing before. Nothing after. Always in existence.

So, Jesus was eternally begotten by the father, and both have existed always.

They are co-eternal, and except for pleasantries like Jesus respecting his father, co-equal in power and authority, as well.

When Jesus took on flesh to become a man, he never ceased to be God. He just took on a human body and a human soul, along with his pre-existing divine self.

Col.2:9 For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all of the Godhead bodily.

2 Cor. 5:19 God was in Christ, reconciling the world back to himself.

Rev. 1:8 The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, which is , which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Read also Rev. 1:18 - Jesus is the Almighty!!!!!

Answer 4

The Son can not be co eternal.

Gal 4:4

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

John 1:18

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
KJV

Begotten is the direct opposite of eternal. So there can be no such thing as eternally begotten.

Answer 5

GOD the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is one. HE is coeternal with the Father, HE is the flesh form of HIM

Answer 6

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Christ was the word of God spoken into the womb of Mary that a perfect sinless man might be born and die as the blood price for salvation of man.

Answer 7

Christ is God incarnate. His incarnation time was chosen and Mary was the one to give Him His earthly body. His physical existance lasted 33 years more or less.

But the answer is when Moses asked God to tell him his name in order to explain Israel who had sent him, He answered I AM WHO I AM.

So, before His incarnation, Jesus WAS (Inside the Father since the beginning, I assume), not existed.

Answer 8

this idea is a little wacked. another point is when jesus called out to god while on the cross....why would you call out to yourself.?most christians (of which i am not one) would say you could relate it to water, ie that water has three forms: ice, liquid, vapor. this is the usual explanation of the "holy trinity." all are made of the same substance, but take different forms in different conditions.

Answer 9

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Answer 10

Yeah really. This stuff should be in mythology and folklore. Religon is just stupid now. People are way too intelligent now to be beleiving in this kind of superstition.
