OK please tell me is the Son somebody other than the Father ... yes or no?
Secondly, how can the distinction between the Father and the Son be an impersonal distinction as that would imply that each are to 'it's.' You can't possibly be claiming that father is impersonal and Son is impersonal as father and Son are obviously personal terms. A Father is a 'he' and can never be described as an 'it.'
I think that part of your problem Praxeas is that you've turned theology and the Bible into a nose of wax which you can turn any way that you choose. So you've claim elsewhere that the Son is etenral but that he;s not an eternal Son .... this is a nose of wax and is meaningless and demonstrates your lack of understanding of basic theological terms.
Now your claiming (or you will claim) that the Father is impersonal and the Son is imperosnal, but there is a distiction between two impersonal things (Father and Son). if you understood the difference between the words personal and impersonal, you wouldn't make such basic errors, whcih demonstarate your inability to dialoge with Trinitarians like myself, to whom language possesses precise meaning and isn't to be changed and redefined on a whim. The word Father is the one word in human history which can never be or mean impersonal .... Father must mean personal, please think and pray about this.
