Hi Nick,No, that He is the Son is very meaningful to me and to all the saints. His being the Son means that He is begotten of the Father. This is very profound and mysterious, and can only lead our hearts to worship Him with adoration.But speaking of the meaning of son, again, every son in creation has the same nature as his father.

Sorry Nick,I missed your tense -“has become a son.” Again, this implies that it was a past event that took place in time. If that is what you mean, then no, He didn't become a son at a point in time.

He is the Son eternally.…[Read more]

Cult Buster,I'm glad to see that you believe in the Trinity, but I'd be careful about bashing the Catholics and claiming that they have a different Trinity than Protestants. Luther was very clear that he accepted the Catholic understanding of the Trinity when he split from the church. That's why the Lutherans placed the three ecumenical creeds…[Read more]
