[ Just a simple yes or no question: Is the Father the Son? Lets make it clear... ]

(1)I have no problem with GOD being a consortium of Spirits(Father, Son, Holy Spirit)..
(2) or of God being of a modal nature.. (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are MODES of one Spirit..

Note: because its hard for humans to grasp (oneness so intimate) the truth could be both concepts could be true at the same time.. You know, Infinite oneness.. only possible in the "Spiritual Dimension".. But here in this dimension three entities.. Kind of makes the "Bride of Christ" take on another dimension don't it.. and the term that a husband and wife should become "one flesh" metaphorically..

The Spiritual merging of spirits could be the norm in the future.. At least some spirits.. And human life on this planet qualifies you(your spirit) for mergeing OR NOT.. the ones NOT qualified being denizens of "hell".. True this is all speculation.. but then children(of God) are all about speculating about things..
---------------------------

When the Apostles asked who would be greatest in "heaven".. Jesus grabs a child and said "one like this is the greatest in heaven"..

Thank you so much for the ping to your sidebar on the Trinity!

Of a truth, one of my favorite passages is Hebrews 1:3 - I begin many meditations there just contemplating the Father and Son:

Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Wow! The brightness of His glory. The express image of His person.

The three - Father, Son, Spirit - are different Persons but there is no "bright red line" between them. I cannot tell you where one lets off and the other begins.

The Father's will is the Son's will is the Spirit's will. Perfect I say.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. - John 14:7

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9
