After reading your paper (and the subsequent emails and replies) on the
concept of the trinity, I was still left with questions on the nature of
Jesus' divinity. All things were created through Jesus as I understand. I
was almost left with the impression that Jesus Himself was created before all this took place.
Was the monotheistic God of the OT the Father alone or Father/Son duality; (albeit, not trinity)?
Dear Joshua:
I don't know if anymore explaining will help you. It is all in my trinity paper. The Old Testament knows NOTHING of a "God the Father." Jesus Christ came to REVEAL THE FATHER, and that for the first time in the history of the world: "...The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has DECLARED [Gk: 'unfolds'] Him" (John 1:18). Jesus Christ IS the GOD of the Old Testament. Jesus Christ IS Jehovah.
God be with you,
Ray
