“1. Preciesely Dave- Jesus is the image of the Invisible God. Hence his qualities or homoousious are God, yet he is distinct from the Father. In what way is he distinct- obviously functionality.”

Obviously? Obviously!?! From where do you get this Mark?

With regards to Col 1:3, Paul refers to God the Father. This is nothing new, Paul do it in other place, and we also talk about God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. So, Paul, to save confusion has been clear he is referring to God the Father in verse 3. HOWEVER, verse 15 does NOT provide this qualification. Now if Jesus is only the image of the Father but NOT the Godhead, where does that leave Phil 2:6? There is not mention of Father there.

“Also you said “Also, who said only the Spirit was hovering over the waters and not the Father, or Jesus? Did they stay at home?” My answer- the bible Gen 1:2 “and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.””

Hang on, you never answered my question. Where were they? Were they somewhere else? Was the Godhead not hovering over the waters? Why do you want to completely seperate the Godhead? You can’t they are one. “The Father and I are one”.
