If you don't think so, then you'll have to explain how Jesus existed, before He was born.

My roomate, who isn't even a believer, says he thinks that's covered in John 1:1 or something like that. Anyone care to look it up to check?

At any rate here is the definitive verse from the mouth of our Lord:

(John 8:58 KJV) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

It is simply amazing the kind of weird stuff people will believe when they abandon scripture in favor of tradition.

I have never heard this teaching before spunkets posted these little comments: "God would not be a trinity, unless He was born of woman."... "In order for God to be a trinity, the man part must exist."

That is some weird stuff. Is this some kind of Catholic Catechism? Or is this new to everyone else too?

John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

We're discussing the Trinity here, or the concept of trinity in general. John 1:1 says that Jesus is God, just as Jesus said in John 10:30. Now God's incarnation had a beginning. It was when Jesus was born. That event is also the beginning of the Trinity.
