And without a father born before all worlds... Begotten not created (I have lousy Latin sorry).
Eternally in begotten relationship to God the Father. Two persons of the Triune God. (The third is the Holy Spirit.)
The apostles creed puts it nicely Begotten not made. Being of one substance with the Father by Whom all things were made. Or the Nicene creed God of God Light of Light very God Of very God

I was watching a video the other day of some Christian - Muslim Dialogue between Dr. James White & Dr. Yasir Qadhi. I thought it was quite pathetic. I felt like this Dr. White guy just basically gave the muslim a stage to sell his religion.
I was reading the Bible the other day and ....
Genesis 1:2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Is the “Spirit of God” in this sense referring to the Holy Spirit? Was the Holy Spirit there from the beginning?
For some reason, I thought of this the other after watching some Christian - Muslim dialogue where the muslim said they didn’t believe in the Trinity.
Close ...good try :-)
It’s from the Nicene Creed. (I chant this every week at mass,)
Born of the father before all ages ... (usually translated as “eternally begotten of the Father”)
and
begotten not made
Those were the two points made in #8 so I thought I’d throw in the formal source :-)
