#73 Jesus' Development (Luke 2:40–52; 4:22, 32)

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: Jesus' Development (Luke 2:40-52, 4:22,32)

Topic: First Coming

Summary: An examination setting the concept, presented in the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, of a Son of God begotten from eternity against what Scripture actually says shows that this concept is inadequate and false. Jesus clearly went through a development from one year old to twelve years old to thirty years old. We explore the what and why and how of it.
