If you saying the Son was created you are in contradiction of the verse from John 1:1 I posted. That verse is the explanation.
Reread it VERY CARFULLY Thius time I bolded Italicized and underlined the Not as a created being, For you
My original post 116 in it's entirety:
Let's try the classical Christian answer: Given the proviso that you accept that a universal highest power exists according to the Thomist view God is the un-created, first moving necessary being. He lives outside of time and space. So technically the terms before and after having no bearing on the origin of the Son.
Gods first thought was of Himself and that thought was so powerful and perfect that it resulted in the Son. Not as a created being, but rather as a reflection of the Father with all of His divinity. Since the Father already existed the Son's first thought was of Him This first thought was of the perfect love He had for the Father. The Father also immediately had a perfect love for the Son. This love resulted in the third person was the Holy Spirit. I hope this answers your question.
Now you have claimed to be attending a seminary at the graduate level I would love to see your explanation of the origin of the Trinity.
