My son came from me, we are of the same nature but my son is not me. The Son of God came from God, they are of the same nature but the Son is not God, just as my son is not me. I gave my son my name, I gave my son a message to speak to all, my son went in my name, my son spoke what I commanded him to speak, does that make my son, me ?
Finally dagallen you said something that is correct but then you messed it all up, what do I mean? This statement of yours is absolutely true, "My son came from me, we are of the same nature but my son is not me." Then you said this which is true, " The Son of God came from God, they are of the same nature" Absolutely true!
Now here is where you messed up with the following six words, "but my son is not me." That's exactly right, you son is not you BECAUSE YOU ARE A DISTINCT PERSON FROM YOUR SON." This is what some of us have been trying to explain to you when we say that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are "DISTINCT" persons from each other. What makes them the one God is their nature.
What makes you distinct from all other humans including your son is your personhood, and what you have in common with all humans is your nature. There is only one nature of humans and it is your nature that separates us from all that is not human. It is God's nature that separates Him from all that is not God.
Look at it this way? You keep saying God the Father is the only true God and that's fine but (and think about this real hard). If "the Father" alone is God, there would be no need TO DISTINGUISH HIM as "the Father" and we would ONLY see the same continued metaphorical applications OF THAT TERM." But you don't because the Bible is clear that there are three persons all identified as "God."
In other words, the persons of the Trinity are constantly so distinguished in the New Testament so why bother making a distinction if there is no distinction to be made? In short, If the Father alone is "God" than the New Testament is a lie because it explicitly refers to Christ and to the Holy Spirit as "God" as well. How are they the same, by their nature or essence yet distinct by their personhood.
IN GOD THE SON,
