Fifth, the father-son image cannot be literally applied to the
divine Father-Son relationship within the Godhead. The Son is not the
natural, literal Son of the Father. A natural child has a beginning,
while within the Godhead the Son is eternal. The term “Son” is used
metaphorically when applied to the Godhead. It conveys the ideas of
distinction of persons within the Godhead and the equality of nature in
the context of an eternal, loving relationship.
