GINOLJC, To all,
especially my trinitarians. the apostle Peter, Old Pete had it right. 1 Peter 1:20 "Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you," so that trigger as you say will not work.
this is one of MANY, scripture that reveals the Godhead in the "ECHAD" of one person. the apostle Peter said, "MANIFESTED" in these ..... LAST .... Uh Oh "TIMES" for you. Last times is what the ECHAD is all about. in TIME. well, let's put on our thinking caps. if the Lord Jesus MANIFESTED in these last times, then he must have existed before these last times, just without flesh, bone, and blood...... "Spirit". this is the SOURCE, that was used for the IMAGE that man was made in. but this source, (God in flesh) did not come until these LAST "TIMES".
so, the Son was not begotten .... Biologically, as in a NATURAL conception. the Holy Spirit conceived the BODY that God himself came in. now by definition, the Holy Spirit/Ghost is the actual Father. for it was by the Holy Spirit that that body was conceived. but the Spirit that was in that body was not conceived. so, God's image in Genesis 1:26 was to come in these LAST TIMES. meaning it was only ONE PERSON at Genesis 1:26 and 27 that made Man male and female. Just as the Lord Jesus said in Matthews 19:4 and confirmed in Mark 10:6.
