Conclusions Concerning the Eternal Generation of Jesus Christ, by Francis Cheynell

Centuries ago the Socinians objected to the doctrine that the Father did beget a Son of his own substance, because they saw it as harming the doctrine of God’s unity. In this passage - excerpted from Cheynell’s 1650 work The Divine Trinunity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (republished in 2024 by Berith Press) - Francis Cheynell proves from Scripture that the eternal generation of Christ is an orthodox, Biblical doctrine, and lays out his conclusions logically.
