    Keith,I think you have to look at the context. Tertullian puts it well:Quote I will therefore not speak of gods at all, nor of lords, but I shall follow the apostle; so that if the Father and the Son, are alike to be invoked, I shall call the Father “God,” and invoke Jesus Christ as “Lord.”79177917 Rom. i. 7. But when Christ alone (is mention…[Read more]

    Roo,Coming into being means a finished existence, not an unfinished existence. Foundations were being laid when the seas were being marked out, day 3. Read Proverbs 8.

    Roo,I know Christ is divine and also man. When did the Son become the divine Son? You don't think He was the divine Son before the incarnation? The church father's do and I have shown you over and over.

    Jack,No one before God the Father was formed and no other God, (a source of all things) came into being. The Son was not the source of Himself but came from the source. God is declaring that there is no other unbegotten God and anything coming into being would not be an unbegotten God like He was. The unbegotten God was the only true God and…[Read more]

    Keith,Then why are you asking me if he is a trinitarian if you don't think I can make that decision? I don't care if he was a trinitarian. It only matters if he has truth to offer.

    Here is what Tertullian says about the oneness of God:Quote He says, then, that there is no God besides Himself in respect of the idolatry both of the Gentiles as well as of Israel; nay, even on account of our heretics also, who fabricate idols with their words, just as the heathen do with their hands; that is to say, they make another God and…[Read more]

    Hi Irene,God created it formless and void because He wanted His Son to form it and fill it. God was the source, the Son brought it to fulfillment. Don't read a story into it that is not there.
