Pardon my ignorance on this somewhat fundamental theology Q, but is the Father particularly termed "God" or "the Lord" in distinction to the Son and the Spirit in Scripture, and what does this signify?
Is it that the Father is "the font of deity" i.e. that the Son is eternally generated by the Father, the Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son, but the Father is from neither?
E.g.
The Son is called "the Son of God", and the Spirit is called "the Spirit of God", but the Father is not "of".
Is it that the Father is "the font of deity" i.e. that the Son is eternally generated by the Father, the Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son, but the Father is from neither?
E.g.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
The Son is called "the Son of God", and the Spirit is called "the Spirit of God", but the Father is not "of".
