God the Father and God the Son


Read this and you will say "of course...how could it be otherwise?"
For there never was a time when the Father was and the Son was not, but always the Father and always the Son, Who was begotten of Him, existed together. For He could not have received the name Father apart from the Son: for if he were without the Son, He could not be the Father.
John of Damascus, Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, Book 1, Ch. 8

I need to say it.

Many thanks for your continued postings.
