MacArthur's view on eternal Sonship

[Notthemama1984]

I just heard my professor say that MacArthur denied the eternal Sonship for decades. He repented of his views publicly around six years ago.

Can someone varify? This is the first I have heard it and am really surprised.

If I recall, it was a lot longer than six years ago.

Yeah, more like 20-something years ago, I'm pretty sure.

Also: Let me google that for you ;-)

Christ is the Son of God in two senses and yet One Person, is He?

(a) Eternally (generated) from the Father. Also known as "the Word".

(b) As a man, in the sense that Adam is called "the Son of God" in Luke 3:38 ?

In what sense did the Jews understand the term "the Son of God" in this place:-

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (John 10:31-36)

How much understanding did the Jews of Jesus' day have of plurality within the Divine Nature and of the "Son of God" as an aspect of that plurality?
