Hebrews 1:3 (KJV) informs us that Jesus as a Son is the Father’s Person “reproduced” as the express image of the Father’s “Person” as a human person.
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person …” Heb. 1:3
Rather than being the brightness of His own glory and the exact image of His own divine person, Jesus as the Son of God the Father is the brightness of God the Father’s glory and the exact image of God the Father’s person as a human person.
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature …” Hebrews 1:3 (ESV)
Hebrews 1:3 informs us that the Spirit of God reproduced an exact “imprint” of God’s divine “Person” and “Nature” to form the person called the Son of God. The Greek word “CHARAKTER” proves that Jesus as a fully human Son was “reproduced” as an exact “imprint” or “copy” of the Father’s HYPOSTASIS – “Person, Substance, Nature” as a fully complete human being. For the Son could not have always existed as a reproduced copy of the Father’s Personal Substance and Nature without having a beginning.
Hebrews 2:14-17 proves that the Son was “reproduced” as an exact “copy” of the Father’s Person, Substance, and Nature by being “made like” them (like all humans), “fully human in every way.” This explains how Jesus was able to be pray and be tempted just like all men.
There is not a single scripture in the Bible to prove that the Son was literally “made” before his virgin conception and birth through the virgin. Jesus as a Son is called “the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15)” in the same sense that he is called “the Lamb slain from the creation of the world” in Revelation 13:8. Just as Jesus could not have been literally slain twice (once before creation and a second time after his birth), so Jesus as a Son could not have been born twice either.
1 Peter 1:20 proves that the Son was “foreknown before the creation of the world.” A foreknown Son could not have always existed before being “foreknown.” Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:35 proves why the Son of God was called a Son in the first place. He was called a Son because of his virgin conception and birth from the virgin. Therefore the Son became a living Son by being granted life from the Father through his birth.
John 5:26 – “For as the Father has life in Himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.”
If the words of inspired scripture mean anything, then the Son of God could not have always existed as a Son before being “granted” a “life in himself.”
