Hi David, The problem I have with the Logos-but-not-yet-a-Son view is that the term "Logos" in itself is non-descriptive of the eternal relationship within which the second person of the Godhead participated with his "Father" throughout eternity -- the term "Son" is descriptive of that relationship; this because it is a familial/relational term. Read the NT with a non-non sequitur :>) view of the Father/Son language (i.e., allow the Son to be the Son eternal) and you will receive with it a view into the inner being of God, the God who is as he has always been in his inner relations, the God who from eternity past has purposed to include you in that which he has always enjoyed with his Son.
