Why do you keep saying the Son proceeded from the Father and the Spirit proceeded from both and then turn around and say they've always existed? This certainly suggests one came before the other which is in line with the nonsense you posted in #160.

They are finite and eternal in the philosophical sense??

Your second paragraph in this post is even more convoluted than your #160 post.

You continue to contradict yourself.

Whether your mind can understand it or not They have no beginning or end.

This isn't philosophy 101 or any other philosophy class.

We're discussing if the Father, Son and Spirit have always existed as a fact.

The Word makes it clear they have. Christians believe this.

We have no clue what you're claiming as you continue to contradict yourself. You might want to drop whatever website you've been getting your thoughts from on this topic and focus on the Word.

Do you affirm the Nicene Creed ?

Your comment seems to suggest you have no understanding of eternity except as just like time, only longer. (Probably why so much of Catholicism -- and by the same token, Eastern Orthodoxy -- is incomprehensible to you.) The Processions of the Trinity are not temporal, but eternal.

Kolo -- some time back you cited a saying of IIRC (which I may not) an order of Greek monks starting "God does not exist . . ." and I forget the rest of it, but I think it might be illuminating here, if you would fill it in here, please!
