Psalm 2:7 - I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth. -- Young's Literal Translation
It is often claimed, especially by trinitarians, that this scripture is saying that Jesus' begettal is, to quote one trinitarian, "an eternal act, inside the glorious Godhead, without beginning, and without ending."
Is that what Psalm 2:7 is saying, that Jesus' begettal is forever "today", and thus is an eternal act? We need to be careful, if we would be led by the spirit, that we follow what God has revealed by means of his holy spirit in the scriptures, and not take any scripture in isolation. We should compare spiritual revealment with spiritual revealment. -- 1 Corinthians 2:13.
The direct application of Psalm 2:7 to Jesus that God has given through his holy spirit as revealed in the scriptures is to the resurrection and exaltation of Jesus, and it is related to his being made a high priest, which did not occur while he was yet in the days of his flesh. (Acts 13:32,33; Hebrews 1:4,5; 5:5; 8:1,2,4) If the Hebrew word for begotten used here means a begettal in eternity, in view of the revealed application of this scripture, the question would be asked: Is Jesus forever in a stasis of eternally being raised as the first one brought forth from the dead? -- Colossians 1:18; Revelation 1:5.
http://godandson.reslight.net/ps-2-7.htmlActually Psalm 2:7 offers no proof of the trinity, and the idea that it refers to an eternal begettal outside of time has to be added to and read into the verse, and that in contradiction to the application of the scripture in the New Testament.
