I have this idea... what do you think..
God is all knowing and perfect. God knows himself hence has an idea of himself. His idea of himself is perfect and exactly like himself in everything. So if God can exist on its own so his idea of himself can exist on its own, so even if God will think of other things, his idea of himself will not cease to exist. It is alive on its own like God.
If God is eternal and almighty the same with his idea of himself.
When God thinks of Himself it is exactly like him in everything otherwise it is not perfect.
God who generates an idea of himself is Father and the idea of Himself generated which exactly and perfectly like God is the Son.
What if their isn't a god and there wasn't a proposed son of god? What if their was a goddess and she had a daughter instead? What ifs, what ifs :) If you truly believe in god and god is an almighty being, perhaps that being is the only one whom has the answers you seek. I don't believe, anyone knows on earth. So good luck with your thought provoking questions and deep retrospections, it's interesting.
God can be known although imperfectly from his works. We know that somebody created the universe and we call him God. Reason because nothing will exist if there is nobody caused it to exist.
God can be also known by God self revelation. No one can know God except God himself. We cannot know everything about God. Our finite mind cannot comprehend the infinite knowledge of God.
If we cannot know God perfectly at least we can know him imperfectly through revelation of one who comes from God, one who is not from earth but from heaven.
Here it is relevant to mention the the Word was in the beginning, was with God, was God, was made man.
“No one has ever seen God but the only Son who came from the bosom of the Father has made him known”
No one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son and to anyone whom he chooses to reveal.
Then Jesus made a shocking revelation to the jews by claiming God as his Father in an “unheard of sense”, that is by calling God your Father you are making yourself equal to God. Jesus is calling God as Father is the true sense not in a sense of being a creator but in the sense that the Father begot Jesus, hence being the Only Son of God in the true sense. That is why when Jesus claim to be Son of God, he is always accused of blasphemy because he is making himself equal to God, hence a claim to being God.
In what way the Father and Son equal? They are equal in substance since the substance of the Son is derived from the Father. They are substantially the same God. 1x1=1
In what way they are not equal? In their function or relation. The Father sends, the Son obeys and is sent. In this way the Father is greater than the Son but it does not affect the equallity of their substance.
Like a human master and a human servant. That fact that the human servant obeys his human master, it does affect the equality of their being human.
Believe what you want, I respect that. I believe what I want, aswell. I follow my own heart and thoughts, not those of anyone else's. But I do value and respect individuals opinions and perspectives, even if I disagree with them personally :) Listen to Hospin - ill mind 7.
