Did God become his own son? - Page 6

I voted no because the question implies that at one time GOD was not His own Son and such a supposition adds to the Bible.

"image" is defined as "resemblance or likeness". That seems to be what Paul is implying in Ephesians 4:24 - our being created in righteousness and true holiness. That would suggest we were made to have attributes of God.

"express image" has a deeper meaning - "charakter" - to impress upon, or stamp. It refers to an engraving tool. IOW, what is made is a precise replication of the tool.

Jesus is God's "only" begotten. We were adopted, Jesus was begotten. The difference between "image" and "express image".

A good question is do you think that there will be three distinct persons in heaven. When you imagine heaven and Jesus do you see a father, a son, and a spirit; each on their personal throne with dialogue between one another? I don't.

You don't have to see that if you believe in the Trinity.

The Holy Spirit is kind of blue. So says an eyewitness.

Can you explain what and who you see in heaven in regards to God?

Sure, but it would mere interpretation of a very difficult scriptural concept.

Even if I don't understand this concept completely accurately, I have love for GOD, His Gospel, and His people.

See ya next week!
