Pay very close attention here. I specifically said that Jesus was NOT a created being. Nothing in my post implied otherwise.

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

This says that Jesus was from the beginning of time, that He was with God and that He was God. It says nothing about the Holy Spirit.

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost have always existed

And I never said anything different than that.

JAKraig question from post # 10 was about the ORIGIN OF THE TRINITY.

Nothing you have presented addresses that. As I said If you have a different/ better explanation I would love to see it.

Now pay close attention. This is what you wrote (Bold emphasis mine):

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.

The way you structured your sentence you say in the first part that God's thought resulted in the Son.....the implication that the Son came after the Father.

There's no other way to understand that sentence. Unless somehow you are redefining words as catholics do to justify their worship of Mary.

I'll ask the simple question again you have yet to answer.

Has the Son and the Holy Ghost always existed as has the Father?
