EzAad:
Do I get this right: "the state of existence from non-existence": is this your definition or requirement for the status of (a) God?
Medini:
No, the opposite - this state is a finite one because of its fundamental existential dependency, and is not and cannot be G-d unless you are willing to have a finite for "G-d".
EzAad:
Wrong. The Trinity is not about a defined finite being viewed as God. Everything you said applies to God as One Being, existence from non-existence (from christian perspective Father Word and Spirit). I don't see the 'defined finite'. Maybe you meant the finiteness of Jesus. But this is also applicable to Jesus, who is the union of God and man without (con)fusion: this description is important exactly because of the philosophical reasoning you just gave. The human nature of Jesus did not become God and never was God: the human nature has been 'assumed' by God and assumed into the realm of God (taken up into heaven): the ultimate destination of mankind, without ever tranforming into God.
Medini:
If G-d exists from non-existence, then He is finite, as I explain above, and you have a finite for "G-d". Further, the distinguishability of Father, Word and Spirit that means they are finite for without any kind of boundary (finis) there can be no distinguishability. Hence, again, if any of these are G-d, then you have a finite for "G-d".
