What is the Fatherhood of God? Is this something that we can and should comprehend?
- Are we thinking too limited or literally on this topic?
- To acknowledge the Fatherhood of God, does this rules out or nullifies Jesus and the Holy Spirit?
- Is Jesus born or made of God? If there is a God the Father, is there a Mother of God?
- Are Jesus and the Holy Spirit from God the Father or just modified angels?
- Is the Fatherhood of God just a figure of speech?
- When it comes to the Fatherhood of God, how should we view Jesus and the Holy Spirit? Should each be seen through the lens of status, order, position, nature, role, cooperation, characteristics, location, power manifestation and/or subordination?
- Is Jesus truly God or was He just given "godly" powers?
- Are the Fatherhood of God and Son of God misleading terms?
- Is there anything inherently wrong or incomprehensible for God to manifest himself in multiple Being simultaneous?
Fellow Users,
- If one of these questions need to be a thread by itself, please indicate it and we'll make it happen, to mine the depths of this topic.
- Please consider all of the questions and supply rational answers, implied or explicit, that can be verified by texts and/ or divine revelation.
- If your aware of any scholarly (conservative) texts on the topic, please, feel free to share them.
- If you think we have exhausted one of the questions above Christian Debate (the new CD), please indicate for consideration.
I look forward to hearing from you. CM

Not sure what you mean here.

In what way do you mean?
- Is Jesus born or made of God? If there is a God the Father, is there a Mother of God?
Jesus is eternal past present and future. He did not have a beginning.
- Are Jesus and the Holy Spirit from God the Father or just modified angels?
They are all God. They are not from God the Father, they are separate entities that makeup God.
- Is the Fatherhood of God just a figure of speech?
Yes, you can say that.
- When it comes to the Fatherhood of God, how should we view Jesus and the Holy Spirit? Should each be seen through the lens of status, order, position, nature, role, cooperation, characteristics, location, power manifestation and/or subordination?
Roles/cooperation/etc.
- Is Jesus truly God or was He just given "godly" powers?
Truly God
- Are the Fatherhood of God and Son of God misleading terms?
Only if you make them so.
- Is there anything inherently wrong or incomprehensible for God to manifest himself in multiple Being simultaneous?
No
