Hello DM,
Thanks for biting

why do you believe the son(human consciousness) existed in eternity past distinct from God?

Actually, I said 'distinct in God' and not 'distinct from God'. 'From' (at least to me) shows an existance apart from God while 'in' shows an existance as part of God.
As to why He existed in eternity past is that God is unchanging. If HE has parts, those parts are unchanging. If God existed in eternity past then HIS parts existed in eternity past. If the Son (the human consciousness) is part of God then He also existed in eternity past.

The is what is up for discussion though. Can the human consciousness that we call the man Jesus be part of God? I think so but I'm wondering if others will see it the same way. I'm wondering if anyone knows any Scripture that 'prevents' God having parts. If there isn't any then I don't see how this can't be a valid understanding of God's nature...

I use the word 'distinct' because there has to be a difference between Father and Son of some sort. Gotta go though but I look forward to your thoughts...

God bless
