God’ idea of Himself
God is all knowing and perfect. God therefore has idea of himself. God’s idea of himself is exact and perfect. It is so exact and perfect that it includes everything what God is.
Therefore if God is self existing and eternal, the same with God’s idea of himself is self existing and eternal.
If God is almighty, the same with God’s idea of himself is almighty.
God who generates that perfect idea of himself is Father.
The perfect idea generated is Son.
A God that has no Son is a God who has no perfect and exact idea of himself.
I think God took the day off when you were born.
I get it. I am God!
WTF? An actually intelligent post on this site. And with clever comments?
The perfect idea of God, the Son, being also God, also has a perfect idea of themselves, being all-knowing and perfect just as the Father is. The Son generates their own Son in this manner, and then it's turtles all the way down. I believe in God the Father and the trinity, but I don't think this thought exercise can adequately validate what I believe.
Okay thats good observation. To that kind of question my only response is that our finite mind cannot really fathom the knowledge of the infinite God so therefore we only believe what is revealed by Jesus. Our task is to explain what was told of us about God. We never speculate what is not revealed. What is revealed is that the one God has an only Son. From the we explain that the only Son was generated eternally from God who became his Father. Hence, the substance of the Son is the same substance of the Father. By virtue of their consubstantiality the only Son is called God. The only Son can do what the Father do( see john 5:18 and series) hence equally powerful. Now even though they are equal in their substance, in their relationship or function is not. The Father cannot be the Son. It is the Father who sends and determine the date of the end of time. It is the Son who obeys the Father and make judgment. In the same fashion although they are the same God, it is the function of the Father to generate the Son. It is therefore not the function of the Son to generate, it belongs to the Father. If the Son will generate he ceases to be the Son. He beccomes another Father and that is not what we believe and it is contrary to what was revealed. We believe only in one Father and in one Son. So, there are functions that are proper to the Son and are proper to the Father. And the function to generate is only proper to the Father only and not in the Son.
