Are we going to debate Paul's view as well ???
I will assume that you believe Jesus always tells the Truth.
AV Jn 8:57-59 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
In believing Jesus' whole testimony, Who said those words in John 8:57-59 then ???

As you can tell, Jesus' expressions of Truth in words, are not well received here by some other posters. But in this spiritual "war", each side understand who is on who's side.

Ok, perhaps you will finally give me a clear answer. Do you believe that the Son is eternal God or is he a created being?

Common Tater are you ready to explore with your built-in assumptions in the words you used ???
There are built in misunderstandings in your question that have NOT been addressed yet. The main problem, is many have the same problem as you.
"Do you believe the Son is Eternal God ...", Do you seriously believe this ??? <<< Hint: Your question denies the persons of the GODhead with "is" to me. Otherwise you have just confessed tritheism.
AV Ex 32:32-33 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
A True to GOD believer understands that Jesus could have died for His Own Sins, while in the flesh, like any other human.
AV Mt 19:16-17 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Please explain why(From your point of view in your question above.) Jesus did NOT confess Himself in the flesh as "[there is] none good but one, [that is], God:" then ???

Ok, we are back to your usual dance.
You know full well that I am not a tritheist. Tritheism is the belief in three separate gods. I am a Trinitarian as that term is defined by all of Christiandom. I believe that God is One Being that exists as Three Persons that are co-eternal, co-equal, and consubstantial. The Father is fully God, but is not the Son and is not the Holy Spirit. The Son is fully God, but is not the Father and is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is fully God, but is not the Father amd is not the Son.
Adventist believe in three separate god-beings that are united in purpose. That is very much tritheism.
The Bible makes clear that there IS only One God. IS is a state of being. A singular state of being.
Do you believe that the Son is and has always been eternal God, or do you believe there was a time when the Son did not exisr, in other words that he is a created being?

“Do you believe that the Son is eternal God?”
This is a question that only requires a YES or NO answer.
If your answer is “YES”, please provide the reasons for your belief that the Son is eternal God.
Perhaps this clarified and simplified question may assist you in providing an unambiguous response.

Read @Common Tater response in post-635524 and answer his question as an Adventist(or as a true Christian) then ???
AV Jn 10:24-27 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
In my opinion, you are unable to discern the presumptions built into his question(s), which is dodged as well as I have for those reasons.
For you:
AV 1C 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
"If your answer is “YES”, please provide the reasons for your belief that the Son is eternal God.", Is Jesus only the "eternal God" then ???

AV Jn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Better wording, but not there yet. You need some scripture support to support your opinions, to which I will not agree to, until you do.
Next hurdle is: "beginning" is for earth or the two persons in textual context ???
For all others who need the help:
"the Word was with God", John describes "the Word" and "with God" as two separate nouns, as part of this discussion.
"do you believe there was a time when the Son did not exisr,", We do not share the same resources to discuss this. And you know this.
AV Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
So you want to make this salvific, apart from GOD decision of our own individual salvation decision ???

No, I am not letting you get away with this. Rather than actually answer a question, you offer up questions of your own and state that you will only answer after your questions have been addressed. You do this over and over.
Answer my question. It is a simple one to answer. "Yes, I believe that the Son is and has always been eternal God" or "No, I believe that the Son is a created being".

According your opinion within your authority, which is within your privileges at CARM to discuss here. NEWS FLASH: GOD does honor all beings authority.
AV 1C 15:40-44 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. 41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. 42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
