A. John 14:9,10,11, Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time
with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me
has seen the Father; and how do you say then, Show us the Father? Do
you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The
words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that
dwells in me he does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father and
the Father in me. Secondly, and being a personage of tabernacle, was
made or fashioned like unto man, or being in the form and likeness of
man. [§5. ¶2.] Philip. 2. Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus; who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to
be equal with God; but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him
the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man, and, being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. Heb. 2. 14, 16. Forasmuch then as
the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise
took part of the same. For verily he took not on him the nature of
angels: but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Thirdly, he is also in
the likeness of the personage of the Father. [§5. ¶2.] Heb 1. 1,2,3.
God, who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in times past to
the fathers, by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us
by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he
made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person. Again, Philip. 2:5,6 Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus; who, being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to be equal with God.
Q. Was it by the Father and the Son that all things were created and
made that were created and made?
A. It was. Col 1:15,16,17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the
first born of every creature; for by him were all things created that
are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones or dominions, principalities or powers; all things were
created by him and for him; and he is before all things, and by him all
things consist. Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth. Heb. 1:2 [God] Has in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds.
Q. Does he possess the fullness of the Father?
A. He does. Col. 1:19. 2:9. For it pleased the Father that in him
should all fullness dwell. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily. Eph 1:23. Which is his [Christ's] body, the fullness of
him that fills all in all.
Q. Why was he called the Son?
