(urth) christ, already

[Matthew Weber]

Quibble, irrelevant to this discussion, but :

The Fatherhood & Sonship of the Father & Son are coeternal.  The Son was the
Son from eternity, as the Nicene Creed saith.  "Father" and "Son" in this
case suggest a relationship, not temporal precedence.  Logos = Son.  The
discussion of Wisdom in Proverbs & elsewhere in the OT is taken by
Christians as typifying the Son as Logos.

The seaman's story is of tempest, the plowman's of his team of bulls; the
soldier tells his wounds, the shepherd his tale of sheep.
