Gene,
God is united to His Son, they do the God stuff together. The Father sees Him and His Son as one God in the fullest sense who is both God of gods and Lord of lords named Yahweh. Two different persons acting as one, interdependently to do the God stuff. They are God alone, no one besides them.

But I would like to add that the whole reason for creation is because of the Son. God created all things through him and for him. Further, God’s redemptive plan from the foundation of the world is also through him as you rightly point out.

I can’t provide a source for prototype as I wrongly assumed it was rooted in the word for firstborn despite both having the same root ‘proto’.
That said, I stll believe that he is the prototype. He is the ‘first type’, that is, the first Son. Those born from above will be like him. The same type of being. The original…

Gene,
Jesus said that we are to know two persons to have eternal life, one is the Father and the other is the Son. Please don’t pretend that Jesus isn’t the elohim who is our one Lord.

WHY, may I ask:
unto to us, a Son IS GIVEN?
WHY NOT, UNTO US A SON IS BORN?
It’s both.

Gene,
You said:
God made “all” mankind in his “image”…
Mankind is made in their image.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…
Jesus is the image of the invisible God, singular…you are not.
Mankind is made in their image, plural.

I think people would say that they love the truth and truly think they do but are actually very deceived and can not see the truth. They lean on their own limited understanding and their lack of understanding.

Berean,
You said:
The Father and the Son HAVE WORKED AND WORK TOGETHER.
BUT THAT DOES NOT REMOVE THAT THE FATHER ONLY IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. ALL HONORS GO TO HIM FIRST.The question is in the OP as to whether or not the Father does the God stuff interdependently with the Son or independently of the Son. You admit that they work together. That is in…[Read more]

Gene,
You asked:
please tell us how is a God “begotten”?
He is born of His Father, the invisible God who He is an image of.
Col 1 15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or aut…[Read more]

Did one person create the world alone or with another person?

Is one person governing the world alone in this age or with another person?

Gene,
There is only one begotten son who is also an only begotten God in the bosom of the Father. All other sons are sons by creation, designation, or being born again. None of the other sons are also an only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father.
No other son is the God who inherits the nations. No son is our God who inherits the…[Read more]

You wrote some good points to Danny. This flat earth nonsense is right up there with gender confusion, imo.

Danny,
What exactly was factual about what you wrote? Have you ever taken a Physics class?
Lightenup replied to the topic Only begotten/monogenes in the forum Bible Texts & Translations 2 years, 5 months ago
Gene, this topic is about what “monogenes” means. Some say that it means “unique” and the video shows that it means “only begotten.” It is not about calling anyone else “father.” Please post elsewhere in an appropriate topic. Thanks! LU

Danny, you didn’t respond to my last post to you. In fact you have done that several times in other topics as far as I recall. If you consider what I wrote, it could help you understand things a bit better.
