Pardon, but I follow the gist of that, but the particulars are a little confusing.

Re: The Pre-Existence Of The Son
It seems to me that folks here are really saying the same sort of things for the most part ,but are describing it in different ways.

Oh ye of little intelligence and big mouth, how about just answering the question?
That God lives in ever second does NOT prove to me the Son Eternally existed WITH God. Again you are making a quality statement about God not about the Son. Therefore all we can say is God exists in every time frame past, present and future.... If God exists in the same time frame the Son came into being (assuming your argument not mine) then that tells me the Son existed WITH God in THAT time frame not before...

ROFL....wow I am impressed by your attempt at style over substance.
Quote:
And yes... we are all eternally existing before God. God knew you before time began Prax... not as a seer or psychic who peers down through time to see you... but as one who existentially beholds you as a present reality before Him. As with Jeremiah... God knew him and ordained him a prophet to the nations before he was born.

Knowing about something before it comes into existence does not mean it already exists before existing. That is absurd. Be careful now, you are moving into Eastern religion and Mormonism (reincarnation and incarnation of God's spirit children)

Seating with Christ now does NOT mean I existed before I was born. That is rank Mormonism

But that does not mean, as Aquila argued it, that even though the Son comes into existence at the incarnation he eternally existed with God (not because he has alwasy existed but because God is in every time past, present and future
