Is God closed trinity
RTA:
Thanks Kat for sharing the link!
I've emailed Ray about this theme too and he gave me the following answer, I'll bring it in here...(I just quote the question and reply):
Question:
You know the verse in Isaiah 9:6;
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty G'd, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
In the light of what you already explained in the above mentioned article, could you please make me understand how to understand this verse? for here it seems(?) that the child's(the Son's) name is called "Mighty G'd" and (even) "everlasting Father".
I see clearly that the Father is not the Son(for He is the Image of the invisible G'd), though they are one.
so my question is:
Now why, when He is NOT the Father, He(the Son) is called "everlasting Father"?
answer:
I answered this same question for someone a couple of days ago, but I don't have my reply.
Jesus was the God of the Old Testament. And although He is the "Son of GOD," He was also
a "Father" to Israel (Isaiah 63:16; Jer. 31:9; Ex. 4:22; etc.) The word "everlasting" is a word that stands for the "future," no "everlasting.
