Of course.
How was God begotten?
The better question is how was the Son begotten, if He was not created?
We have begotten children, say like a daughter, but we are not their creators though they are of us.
The difference being that we ourselves were begotten, through to Adam who was created, but not begotten.
While God the Father was/is/shall be, the Alpha/Omega, as Jesus being 100% Man, as the 2nd Adam, was also begotten of God prior to His manifestation as Jesus making Him eternally the Son of God, not a created being, for He was/is/shall be always of the same essence as God the God the Father.
Keeping in mind "Hierarchy", and what is a characteristic of Jesus, that we as children of God through Christ Jesus are to be? Obedient. But, not a forced obedience's, but willingly. Which is why you have God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, who is the same essence of both the Father and Son and how we have God the three persons. It's probably a rather oversimplification, because the reality must have been so much more and those with greater words than I have, might be able to explain it much better, but there you have it, as I understand it, and have been given to understand. \o/
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
