Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Thank you for your reply.
Jesus is the Light.
Is God the source of the Light?

Is there more than one source of life?

Its funny because they say trying to explain the trinity and you will lose your mind.

But this subject takes some faith and trust me God will enlighten you as you mature in faith. It was hard for us all to begin with but now it just makes sense. Plus reading the bible and research will help enlighten you also.

This is

Do you put any faith in anything that contradicts itself?

Life is from the Father and through the Son, ontologically speaking they both are the source of life. The Father is seen as the fountain, as one ancient father said, however it does not show superiority over the other persons. It is a designation spoken in Scripture we give to a specific person, despite all having the same essence.

If your implying the bible contradicts itself then name a place and we can explain.

The bible was written diffently in them days compared to our western chronological way.

A contradiction is a contradiction. God does not contradict Himself.
Therefore only men contradict themselves.

And truth you have to explore. I thought the same and researched it and was overloaded with archeological evidence, eye wtnesses, historical, science, you name it and you will be left knowing its true but with a choice to follow or not

They have an unbroken unity of the same essence. When the Son is said to be eternally begotten, we must be careful. In saying 'Eternally begotten,' it means he was the Son without a beginning. He was in an eternal relationship with the Father. There never began a time when he 'became' the Son, as we beget children, for he was always the Son of the Father.

Ontologically, no one. Economically, the Father.

The Father is superior to Christ in his humanity, but equal in his divinity. This is how Christ can rightly be called 'servant' without diminishing his divine status.

The Holy Spirit is the Father of Jesus?
Is this correct?
