Nick,So one of the two that are our God is just your neighbor? Unity is a spiritually appraised term and worldly wisdom has to be put aside to perceive the unity of God in your heart. We are to believe God's word over man's understanding.Here is a compilation of the several passages and/or scriptural reasonings that suggest that Jesus Christ is…[Read more]

Ahh Nick,You are using worldly wisdom here.Actually Jesus always had that nature in its fullest from eternity. That is what makes Him a Son and also God with His Father.

Pierre,How could it mean that the fullness of the Father was in Him when the Father was in heaven?

No Nick, if it were worldly wisdom, I wouldn't have been asked by you about the several gods.

Nick,It depends on which side of the equation you are looking at. Many things are one of something on the left side of the equals sign yet there are more than one thing on the right side. For example:1 family = 1 father + 1 mother + 1 or more childrenSee how that is 1 = 1+1+1or…1 deck of cards = 13 clubs + 13 hearts + 13 diamonds + 13 spades1 =…[Read more]

Pierre,What is Godhead?

Nick,Both contain the fullness of the Godhead.

More from Gregory to those who think that the Son was created:If, then, man, who is himself a created being, thinks that the Spirit and the Only-begotten God20492049 and the Only-begotten God. One Cod. reads here υἱ& 231·ν (not θεόν), as it is in S. John i. 18, though even there “many very ancient authorities” (R.V.) read θεὸν. The Latin of Her…[Read more]

More from Gregory of Nyssa regarding the eternal sonship and deity of the Son:Since, then, the Godhead is very life, and the Only-begotten God is God, and life, and truth, and every conceivable thing that is lofty and Divine, while the creation draws from Him its supply of good, it may hence be evident that if it is in life by partaking of life,…[Read more]

Nick,Having the fullness of the Godhead would be to have the full makeup of God.

I came across this which goes along with what I believe about the eternal Son being begotten from within the Father when God said, “Let there be Light.” This expresses an eternal existence and yet a begettal of what Gregory of Nyssa calls the only begotten Light.It is therefore clearly shown that the Father of truth did not make the truth at a…[Read more]

Nick,All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him.

Pierre,None.

Nick,I don't.

Mike,Look it up on Biblos.com and you will see the way the majority translate those passages. It is not a form of 'create.'Kathi

Nick,Emmanuel was Jesus, the Begotten God made flesh dwelling with us since His conception and birth from Mary.
