    There is evidence the some SDA pioneers held Arians ideas. But, EG White was clear that Jesus is eternal, no beginning nor end, because is God. Suggest that she approved Arian ideas is contrary to the evidence of her writings.
    The Bible is very clear about the eternity of Christ. He is called “Eternal Father” eternal by definition does not had any kind of beginning. The Bible is above any written of any pioneer no matter how influential or smart was the pioneer.

    Thanks Pastor Butler for your quotes about the Son of God. Many ministers and laymen are teaching another Jesus nowadays.
    Gal 1: 6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
    7which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
    8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
    9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
    10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

    A literal begotten Son of God is the salvational, false Bible versions offer deception of a unique son who's a metaphor. Mercy. Apostate Protestantism has fallen prey of deception by the spiritualistic teachings of Trinity. Terrible.

      @@canadiancontrarian3668: *The word is monadikós (μοναδικός) and it antedates Christianity, having been employed by Aristotle, Philo, and others. The Greek word monadikos (μοναδικός) means unique or one of a kind and nothing else, as native Greeks know. Its morphology hasn't changed in over two thousand years. monadikos (μοναδικός) is the word that Greek speakers have been using for unique for more than two thousand years, and it is the word native Greeks still use today when they want to say unique or one of a kind.*
      *Neither has the morphology of (monogenes) μονογενης changed in over two thousand years, and monogenes has always meant only begotten or its equivalent.*
      *Just as only begotten is not equivalent to unique, so monogenes is not equivalent to monadikos. The Greek word monogenes does not mean unique, nor has it ever. The Greek word monadikós means unique. It has always meant unique.*
      *Had the writers of the New Testament wanted to say unique, they would have used the Greek word which means unique - monadikós (μοναδικός).*
      *The reason the writers of the New Testament didn’t employ monadikos when they penned the New Testament is simple - because the writers of the New Testament didn’t mean unique. The writers of the New Testament meant only begotten or its equivalent. That’s why they used the word monogenes (μονογενης) instead of monadikós (μοναδικός).*
      In every instance of *μονογενης (monogenes)* in the NT, the meaning ‘only begotten’ fits the context better than ‘one of a kind’ or unique’. It may be concluded that the usage of *μονογενης (monogenes)* that there is clear warrant for retaining the meaning ‘only begotten’. If *μονογενης* truly mean ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’, without any reference to ‘begetting’, then one might expect *μονογενης (monogenes) * could be used of a brother or sister and even of a father. Therefor we might expect to also find *μονογενης αδελφος* meaning ‘one of a kind/unique brother’, or *μονογενης αδελφη* meaning ‘one of a kind/unique sister’ and *μονογενης πατηρ* meaning ‘one of a kind/unique father’. Such expressions do not occur throughout the whole of Greek literature. *Whenever μονογενης (monogenes) is used in the context of personal relationship, the relationship is always that of offspring to parent. This strongly suggest that the concept of ‘begotten’ is indeed present in μονογενης (monogenes) .*
      *μονογενης (monogenes)* is a Greek adjective consisting of two parts, *μονο (mono) and γενης (genes).* There is no argument regarding the derivation of the first part of the word; it is from the Greek word *μονον (monon)*, an adverb meaning ‘only’. The difference of opinion only arises in regard to the second part of the word, *γενης.* The traditional view is that *γενης* is to be derived from the Greek verb *γενναω* Strong’s 1080 (‘*meaning to beget, conceive*‘), so that *μονογενης* meaning ‘class’, ‘sort’, ‘kind’, so that *μονογενης* must mean ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’. In support of the letter view, some point out that *γενος* has only a single v (the Greek letter, pronounced ‘nu’) as does *μονογενης while γενναω* has two v’s. So which etymology is correct?
      If the type was not literal than the anti-type should also not be literal, but this is not so. The Bible is clear that the type and anti-type are both literal Father and Son. Nowhere in the Bible do we read that Jesus is a unique or metaphorical Son, but it rather gives the direct opposite repeatedly.
      *The claim that the γενης (genes) [Strongs 1085 meaning descendant, Family] ending of μονογενης is to be derived from γενος with the meaning ‘class’, or ‘sort’, ‘kind’, may be tested by examining the meaning of the γενης ending in a similar Greek adjective which also have the same two-part structure.*
      *Herewith a list of such adjectives.*
      *1* πρωτογενης: - *first born* -
      *2* ομογενης: - *of the same race or family*
      *3* πολυγενης: - *of many families* -
      *4* αγεηνς: - *not of noble birth; low born*
      *5* παλιγενης: - *born again, generated anew* -
      *6* ευγενης: - *well born, high born*
      *7* αγεννης: - *low born δυσγενης: low born* -
      *8* προγενης: - *born before*
      *9* συγγενης: - *related, akin*
      It may be observed that in all the above-mentioned [9] words the concept of ‘begetting’ or ‘derivation by birth’ is clearly present.

    Jesus is God and God does not have beginning or end. To believe that He had a beginning or was created is a heresy!
    He is the begotten son as he was conceived in unique manner, Mary was 100% human and the Holy Spirit, Now how many chromosomes that he have? Only 23 from Mary? This kind of the questions are beyond or limited understanding. That is a mystery that we maybe will never understand maybe no even in the eternity.

Yahshua is Divine and part of the Godhead by being begotten, coming out of His Father, and receiving divinity by inheritance. Otherwise Lucifer could lay claim that he could be part of the Godhead, like he desired wrongfully so, since he was created just like supposedly Yahshua was. In summation, Begotten is only attributable to Yahshua, and no one else. Every other being in our existence is created.

      The reason that I used the 1909 date was because I was quoting from the 1909 printing of "Thoughts on Daniel and Revelation" printed by Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 1909. Yes, he died in 1903 but the book I was quoting from was printed and published in 1909. At this particular time, the church still accepted his views on the Sonship of Christ. I believe this is strong evidence against the church being trinitarian at this late date, 1909.

    The quote from Mrs. Ellen White that you used to prove your point you are very wrong on it. She did not say by creation but NOT by CREATION Christ has always been and always will be He was not created at some point in life. Also The FATHER, The SON, and The HOLY SPRIT are all the same they are all equal you are spreading the lie that satan did back in the garden of Eden that they would surly not die. Satan has down played the very existence of JESUS and to say that He wasn’t equal with His FATHER is a lie. You are miss quoting the SOP to meet your needs. God will hold you accountable the quotes you are trying to use from the old pioneers were not lead by the HOLY SPRIT only ELLEN G WHITE she was the true and only Prophet of GOD. Uriah Smith was wrong on so many things even Mrs. White told him so. We are not to be miss leading people we are told in the word of God the Bible that this would happen more so in the last days that if possible the very elect shall be deceived. People I beg of you to please make sure you are not being misled time is way to short I agree that the SDA Church is wrong on some things they teach but this man has no truth to give when he can’t even go by the SOP and take it for what she says it is that pretty bad. He gave the quote about the three reasons Christ was begotten and he messed it up go back and look at it again he said that creation was one of the ways Christ was begotten meaning He was created or can to be at some point. The quote he used from the pen of Mrs. Ellen White was he was Not Created. But the man talking said that he was.I will pray that Gods true people will open their eyes before it’s to late by these false teachers. Blessings!

    God created Jesus in His image before anything else existed. God did not need a woman to create Jesus.
    God is invisible, a Holy Spirit, and so was Jesus. Both of them were Gods.
    God has given Jesus the task to create all things which He did. Joh 17:4
    Let Us make man proves the existence of more than one God. Elohim, plural of God.
    When Jesus gave up His deity to come to earth as man, a total human being, Joh 17:5 confirms that He gave up His deity status.
    He was not God on this earth, as that would defy His role as Savior, the one who would take all the sin on His shoulders when He died on the cross for mankind.
    If He was God on earth, He could NOT have died and satan could use this argument at the final judgement.
    The New Testament confirms the singularity of God, Theos, after Jesus came to this earth, and when God confirmed from heaven at Jesus' baptism that Jesus is His beloved Son, indicates to us the relationship between God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
    Jesus could not have been the Son of God if God did not create Jesus.
    The trinity teaching is a confusing teaching, the same technique that the great deceiver, satan, used from the beginning to confuse mankind.
    That is the only truth with no gimmicks and twists etc in between.
    After Jesus rose from the dead and took His seat at the right hand of God, He received back His powers that He gave up when He came to earth and one of His powers is that of omni-potency, which means that He could be on earth at the same time while He is in heaven.
    Did Jesus not say, Where two or more are gathered in My Name, there I will be?
    Did He also not say that He will be with mankind until the end of time.
    Do we see Him on this earth now, No, because He is in Spirit form here, right now, as the Holy Spirit.
    He makes contact with those believers and fills them with His powers which comes directly from God.
    Jesus is the only link between God and mankind as He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. Joh 14:6 .

    You are not the first to leave the church of the SDA's and you won't be the last. There is an awakening that needs to happen IN the church for sure but your way is not the answer. If you read the SP and the Bible with the power and light of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit you would learn what is God's truth and not be lead astray by man.
    This message is all over the place with interpretations and there are times you don't seem to even agree with your own ideas. We don't have a great understanding of the created world we live in and have no understanding of the uncreated world of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. Basic all we know is there has never been a time They did not exist and They are different from us and the angels as we are all created by and for Them. Faith and Trust is very good thing to have here.
    My guess is you will not hear what I am saying and write me off as a stupid old lady. A verse in the Bible comes to my mind. I am sure you know it and maybe think it is true of me too. I think it applies to all who twist God's word to us and try to prove we are right and God has to made say what we want to believe. I have always thought it was us that needs to learn, not God.
    John 12:37-40

    38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
    39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
    40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

We are born in sin and till we are translated that will remain in us. Only by the power of God in our lives can we be free from that fact working in us. It is a daily battle and all the victory and glory is a gift from God.
