Am I, a believer in the trinity as you claim? The word “Trinity” is not found in Scripture and is merely a term that is used to attempt to describe "God" as being three coexistent and co-eternal Persons. I am merely trying to understand what the Bible says in:
1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5), and
2) The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4;1 Corinthians 3:16).
IMHO, there is no way to perfectly and completely understand these verses, let alone explain them.
Your questions
Can you explain how,if as you are saying Jesus is God himself
How he can be God himself
Yet Gods son as well?
If he had no beginning of days so to speak,and he and the father have always been and never have either had a starting point,how can one be a father and the other be a son?
Why use the terms father and son,all the way through the bible,if that's not what it means ?
Are these "your" questions? They have been around for a long time, haven't they? Ever since Arius/Lucian, about 300AD?
