@theresponsory3359 but god created jesus, and hesus is god? I get it though, jesus is his physical manifestation, but that still means he created himself?
@G0obielicous There is a way of saying Jesus is God's first creation. But even as creation, He can't be understood as not God. He is 100% God and 100% man... so its not correct to say Jesus is God's physical manifestation. Nor can it be truly said that Jesus was 'created,' because He existed even before His supposed creation. (Don't think of it as this or that - Jesus is both at the same time.) You can look up 'hypostatic union' if you want to learn more.
so did god create himself?
God has no beginning and no end.
