Assuming “to beget” specifically means “to generate”...
1) Is THE ABILITY to generate/beget an attribute?
My Lord says,"
From God I proceeded ". It then follows ,"Procession of the Logos/Word in God is rightly called Generation and the Word Himself proceeding is properly called begotten/generated and Son.
Presentist in Judeo Christian Logos Theology, in ancient primitive times, the 4th century Latin doctor of Hippo elucidates when he says" " Logos/Word and Son express the same for the Son's Nativity which is His Personal property is signified by different names which are attributed to the Son to express His Perfection ( ie numerical Equality(, in various ways.
To show that He is of the same Nature as the Father, He is called the Son; to show that He is Co- Eternal, He is called the Splendor, to show that He is altogether Like , He is called the Image; to show that He is Begotten Immaterially , He is called the Word. All these truths cannot be expressed by only one name".
It is Biblically retarded to assert," God thought,, or the idea of a son was in God mind and plans gestating until utterance of being in time. The infinite Divine Intellect is likewise Substantial , and in no way distinct therefrom really the Divine Essence itself. . It is even more Biblical retarded to assert," The Son preexisted in God mind( whatever that even means). God is nowise contained in a subject, neither is He of accidents. Hence God Word must not only be the idea of God, but the Word must need be God Himself.
To Be God and To Understand are one and the same. It then follows when anti trinitarians insist the son is created from God mind or plan, having His temporal existence by utterance, Orthodoxy still says:
"
Thy Today is Eternity. Therefore didst Thou Begat the Co- Eternal to whom didst Thou saidith, This Day have I Begotten Thee".
God own Logos/Word is not merely idea or utterance, but rather likewise substantial, and thus the infinite Divine Intellect ,is in no way distinct therefrom really the
Divine Essence itself.
Lastly ," Divine attributes are too likewise Substantial and not accidental faculties/properties/ qualities, as it is in temporal corporal and crated things such as ourselves, but really identical with God Essence".
You do know that you completely refute yourself right? YaChristian you are clearly arguing against your own intelligibility, most certainly not mine.
