When Scripture says "only begotten God," (John 1:14, 18) it means that the Son has always been begotten of the Father. There has never been a point when the Son was not. The Son has always been the Son and the Father has always been his Father. This eternal begottenness of the Son does not mean, however, that the Son is a creature. Because he is the same substance ( homoousios) as the Father and the Spirit, he was also uncreated. Read The Divinity of Christ, by Ligon Duncan.
