I found the quote below very intriguing and thought it might be worthy of discussion here:
“”Begotten” in John’s phrase “only begotten” cannot signify an event in God’s past that is not also part of his present, since it is only for us creatures who live in time that momentary events exist. Time as we know it is part of creation, and its Maker is not subject to its limitations, any more than he is subject to the limitations of created space. For us, life is a sequence of moments, and future and past events (begettings or any other) are both out of reach; but to God (so we must suppose, though we cannot imagine it) all events are constantly present in an eternal Now.” J. I. Packer in Affirming the Apostles’ Creed
