Question for you guys and gals.

Samson:
Hello Sorin,

                Glad to see your thread, it looks as if Kat, Beloved and others have answered your
                question quite thoroughly. The only thing I might add is that there was no word meaning
                Eternal in any culture until the Second Century CE, by then the Bible Canon was already
                accepted. Rays Bible Study on 11/30/08, the last 20-25 minutes brings that out and how
                the Eternal crept into Jeromes Latin Vulgate.

                                  Kind Regards, Samson.

                 P.S. I was going to quote from the transcript, but it's not there yet, I remember Ray
                       mentioning that the Latin Word avon(probably mispelled by me) originally meant
                       Age, but eventually became Eternus, hence Eternal becoming what we see Today
                       in most Bible Translations, Eternal, Everlasting and Forever instead of Eonian(Agelasting,
                       pertaining to the Ages), Age or Ages. A further distortion is they translate the Greek
                       Aion or Aions as World(Greek Kosmos) in some key places.

You may be confusing the title "God" with the Father, and the Son (Jesus)

Think of God as a surname

God the Father
and God the Son (Jesus)

Jesus and His Father are both God and equal in that respect, but the Father is greater.  Like at my house, my son is a Parsons and I am a Parsons so we are equal in that respect, but I am greater than my son (at least for now  )

This post from an earlier thread really clarified this issue for me.  Hope it applies here!
