The Son of God is eternal and divine:
John 1:1 - John writes, "the Word was God." This is clear evidence of Jesus Christ's divinity. In the Jehovah's Witnesses' bible, the passage was changed to "Word was a god." This is not only an embarrassing attempt to deny the obvious divinity of Christ, but it also violates the first commandment and Isaiah 43:10 because it acknowledges that there is more than one God).
John 1:2-3 - He (the Word) was in the beginning with God and all things were made through Him (the Word who was God).
John 1:14 - the Word (who is God) became flesh (Jesus) and dwelled among us, full of grace and truth.

Scripture says (I'll quote from memory)" In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was God and the Word was with God." So Jesus in His non fleshly being was present at the beginning of time and is eternal. In regard to coming to earth to live in human form He was begotten of God in that God the Father sent God the Son to earth.
So He is both eternal and begotten.

<> Jesus IS God. it is the completed think approximately asserting Jesus is "begotten (no longer made)". <> we are God's little ones, yet we are made, no longer begotten. <> because of the fact Jesus is "begotten", He shares an analogous Divine Nature as God the daddy. because we are "made", we've our very own nature. <> No. God the daddy, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are 3 manifestations of an analogous God. <> We worship One God; the single God. <> Christians are monotheistic. <> you're saying it, yet you do no longer know it. Daer Lord, you provide them eyes yet they do no longer see. <> No. Neither God the daddy nor the Holy Spirit are male. because they are totally religious, there is "male/woman" enormous difference. it quite is basically beside the point. That suggested, God the daddy and the Holy Spirit make it abundantly sparkling that they are to be addressed interior the masculine. Jesus, because of the fact he's God-Incarnate; the God-guy, replaced into born a male. you may say, One God, one male.

In Jesus dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9 below) -
oGod the Father
oThe Holy Spirit of God the Father
oThe Word of God the Father
The only begotten son of God the Father (Jn.1:14 below), Jesus (the Word - Jn.1:1, Jn.1:14 below), His beloved Son (Matt.3:17 below), was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt.1:20 below).
It is God the Father who conceived in Mary (blessed among women) His very Word through His very Holy Spirit (Matt.1:20 below).
Col.2:9 For in him dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Jn.1:14 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, (Matt.1:20, Matt.3:17 below)) full of grace and truth.
Jn.1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Re.1:6, Lk.1:47 below).
Re.1:6And hath made us kings and priests unto God (Jn.1:1 above) AND his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Lk.1:47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour (Jn.1:14, Jn.1:1, Re.1:6 above).
Lk.1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Matt.3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son (Matt.1:20 below), in whom I am well pleased.
Matt.1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost (Jn.1:14, Matt.3:17 above).
