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.

No, I understand eternity. However it is Catholicism which has messed up so much basic theology. You're right....I don't understand catholicism because a lot of it does not line up with the Word.

However, this still leaves us with verga's post from #160 which so far no catholic is denying as false. Bold emphasis mine.

>>When God came into existence there was nothing else all was void. His first thought must have been self awareness. The only possible outcome of an omnipotent being becoming self aware would be for that awareness to be a mirrored reflection or that omnipotent perfection.<<

God has either existed forever or He hasn't. He did not come into existence as noted by verga.
