1 Corinthians 8:6, :
But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.

John 1:3 :
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (talking about Jesus)

Hebrews 1:2 :
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

Hebrews 2: 17-18
(17) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
(18) For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

I know it still cant explain where the “Son” came from but I was wondering what you guys think?

God would have had to been Son before he became Father. Over time he developed emotions. (Just like a human baby God learned his emotions, He created man in his image. He allowed us to learn) He would have to begin to feel proud, confident, and a very great planner of design. Over time that Son personality would turn into The Father, because he would have love for his creations. Creating humans was his greatest achievement, which is why he has so much love and patients for his creations. He would love his creations and they would love him back as a Father, or Creator. He created the first humans (or created Earth and let evolution take place, until our species came) and gave them free will, because God is just, so he would be fair in letting us choose good from evil. However, he is all knowing, so he knew humans would slip up because they are not gods like Himself when he is Jesus. They are simply humans, but he eventually gave us the Holy Spirit because it prompts Christians into prayer, allowing them to express themselves to God. The Holy Spirit also reminds us that God is in us even if we stray, until the end. Yet again, he is all knowing and knows the outcome, but he allows humans to pray and ask forgiveness from sins, seeing if humans have the capability of truly apologizing. As time passed, people began to sin more and question his power and existence. (God will not come down and kill whoever strays lol that is why he gave people free will, he will simply stay in the backround and wait) He came to Earth to experience the temptations humans went through, to see why so many people began to stray. This was in the form of Jesus. He lived on Earth and experienced all of humans temptations of sin. He knew he would have to sacrifice himself to save humans from sin and hell, because God knows hell is a terrible place. If heaven, a pure perfect place, was created by an all righteous and just God who never sins or lies, he would have created Hell to be the exact opposite. He is righteous and always does the right thing, except force one to follow. He is merciful and patient, and he will always wait for you until it is too late and this is true because God is truthful and wise, and oh ya faithful. His words on the cross “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” He knew people asked this all the time, but he showed through the toughest hour, God will be with you.

you must understand why i am trying to portray this idea. Say i were Denzel Washington studying for a movie part. He would most likely spend time before reading the script and learning the behavior of his character, so he can fully understand who is he trying to play.
 
Listen, God is there, and always was there. There never was a time when there was no God. God exists, and always has existed. If God did not exist, then there would be no Humans, no earth, no space, no plants. God was always there. He is here, there, he is everywhere.

In the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.
 
Hello lemondiesel,

Allow me to humbly recommend a book to you that I think will help you to understand the mystery that is the Trinity. I see you enjoy Kant and so I think you may enjoy reading Father Jean Galot, S.J. The Person of Christ, Covenant Between God and Man, A theological Insight. I read a couple of Kant’s books and I did so very sloooowly. I had to stop and think often and make sure I understood what he was saying before turning the page. This little book requires thoughtful reading but it is very enjoyable and rich. It’s available online:
books.google.com/books?id=IP803O0rmroC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Jean+Galot,+the+person+of+Christ,+a+theological+insight&source=bl&ots=potDuJFhCt&sig=Ui1iPCWj3gMao11bnP72UQo4whU&hl=en&ei=ib7DTJDwLoL88AaAt9DkBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Hope that link works.

Father Galot goes into a deep theological/ontological analysis based on the deposit of faith of how God is three persons and one God. It is quite interesting, I am still digesting it. If you do not have much time you may want to skim chapter one and two. One of the things that he does is to note how the distinction between the three persons of the Trinity is relational and he explains human nature based on divine nature not vice versa. 🙂

Blessings,

Abba
