Quote:"For from the moment when those things began to exist, over which the power of a L-rd was to act, G-d, by the accession of that power, both became L-rd and received the name thereof. Because G-d is in like manner a Father, and He is also a Judge; but He has not always been Father and Judge, merely on the ground of His having always been G-d. For He could not have been the Father previous to the Son, nor a Judge previous to sin. There was, however, a time when neither sin existed with Him, nor the Son; the former of which was to constitute the L-rd a Judge, and the latter a Father." [Tertullian, Against Hermogenes
Quote:"For the Father is the entire substance, but the Son is a derivation and portion of the whole, as He Himself acknowledges: "My Father is greater than I." [T]he Paraclete [is] distinct from Himself, even as we say that the Son is also distinct from the Father; so that He showed a third degree in the Paraclete, as we believe the second degree is in the Son, by reason of the order observed in the Economy." [Tertullian, Against Praxeas
