For the record - I am not asking nor do I have any questions concerning Jesus Christ being fully God and fully man. I settled that in my heart well over 60 years ago and have not budged one theological inch on the matter.I’m encouraged brother @His student is asking questions as are many others. I was hoping this would be a productive and informative thread and for the most part it has been.
Any questions I may have posited regarding the Trinity has nothing to do with that issue. They have to do with whether the scriptures teach that there has always been a Father/Son/Holy Spirit relationship between three distinct persons within the Godhead or whether the Father/Son relationship only came into being with the incarnation (as in "Thou art My Son - today I have begotten Thee" vs. the Son being "eternally begotten of the Father" as per the Nicene Creed.
I received Christ at the age of 12 and have never been a member of a church which did not have a detailed statement of faith.......... There are a lot of brothers and sisters in Christ who did not grow up in the Faith and as adults join churches which may not have a detailed statement of faith, do not affirm the ancient creeds (Church of Christ Restoration movement) and perhaps those who identify as “non-denominational.
I have been a member of a church that did not officially identify with any particular denomination however.
No need in my case.It was my hope this thread would be a help to introduce the Christology our forebears contended their all to defend.
I only contend that even the creeds should have the light of the scriptures shown on them from time to time.
