Choose:
- The Son of God is a divine being. (Yes.)
- The Son of God is an eternal being. (Yes.)
Explanation: The Council of Nicaea (325) affirmed that the Son is "begotten, not made" and is consubstantial (homoousios) with the Father — fully divine and eternal, not a created creature. It rejected views that the Son was a created or lesser being. It did not teach that the Son is merely imaginary, and questions about the full human nature were more fully clarified by later councils.
