Why does Jesus call the Father 'HIS God'?

    Do you mean equal in terms of leadership or spiritual headship? If so, I agree. But they are equal to men in value.

    I agree that the 3 Persons of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, as I said previously. I fail to see how Jesus being eternally the Son makes him less equal.

And, this is why I believe in an Incarnational Sonship, since Jesus was "subject" to the Father only while on earth. In Church history, the "Sonship" of Jesus is emphasied by those who wish to teach the "subordination" of Jesus to the Father. Further, this doctrine, the Eternal Sonship, has led to the heresies such as the Eternal Generation of Jesus from the Father; and the Father alone being the "font" of the Godhead. Very dangerous theology IMO.

    Ichtus,

    You don't believe in a HISTORIC doctrine of the Trinity, then.

    Many people say they believe in the 'Trinity', but not all define it the same way.

    The word Trinity is not in the Bible, and one of the first people to use was Clement of Alexandria, who defined his understanding of the Trinity pretty close to the Nicene Creed. Which shows, that the Church has always had a consistent view on this subject.

    Just as an FYI.
