“The Apologists, especially Justin, taught the subordination of the Son to the Father. From Justin’s Dialogue (Cf. Seeburg, Eng. ed., 113) the Father alone is the real God; the Logos is only a Divine Being of second rank. … while the Father is eternal, infinite, incomprehensible, unchangeable and transcendent, the Son is not (Justin, Dial. 56, 62, 128f.)”
(J.L. Neve, A History of Christian Thought, Vol. 1, p. 47)
It is widely reported, Justin, that you believe in “the deity of Christ”.
With that in mind, here is my question to you: What kind of deity is the Son, whom you’ve said is not the real God, is a divine being of second rank, is not eternal, is not infinite, is not incomprehensible, is not unchangeable, and is not transcendent?
