    No particular purpose, I just wanted your thoughts on those two phrases.

    I agree with you concerning Rev. 13:8 I believe it to be, from. I even think the concept of world in that passage is just as interesting as from the foundation thereof. Shoot even, "foundation," is an interesting word there.
    Maybe more than the others.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

    And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    Scripture says the Word became flesh so I believe the term Son is an incarnation designation not an eternal explaination for a relationship.
    I think one mistake is to envision three distinct persons lined up on a throne in eternity past that are called God.

    I cannot discribe how the Godhead is made up in eternity past as scripture does nto spell it out. What constitutes a person? Is each person exactly the same in all respects?

    Three persons in one being. Hmm. Could you explain how that works and where you get that from? What is a being?

    bible states ONLY ONE God....

    Also states that there is a person calle dthe father by jesus is God, that father calls jesus God, and both Apostles peter/paul call his Holy Spirit God!

    NOT 3 Gods, so has to bring 3 persons in one being a God head...

    2 heresies...

    God is one, in 3 seperate modes, or 3 seperate Gods!

    So how does this work? God is Spirit. The Spirit is Spirit and Jesus was flesh and blood. Now I am not sure how we would classify Him in the new body. So in the past before Jesus was born was there three Spirits and now two? If there are three persons what constitutes a person?

    just accept the biblical testimony!

    Father is Spirit, Holy Spirit is Spirit, jesus became a human, but now ascended and is in heaven !

    Let's classify him at that time, as Spirit quickening, yet still the Son of Man the Son of God. 1 Cor 15:45 Then Verse 46 still speaking of the last Adam: but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which [was] natural, (soulish) afterwards (after the resurrection and or after being the firstborn from the dead) that which [is] spiritual.
