Thinking of God, before any creature existed, not even a germ, God had a relational nature. This manifested when there became dimensions and matter, in Him having a face, we are made to be like this as well. To relate to Him face to face one day. Behind the face and one can say, in the chest and belly of God is empathy, compassion and speech. All on His own? It does not prove logical or wise to suppose, He'd exist on His own with these relational qualities. Maybe God did not have a body or even a shape, but empathy, compassion and speech... Surely God was not alone. The Spirit in God knows what is in His mind as our spirits know what is in our minds. It is logical to think God is more than one person. So they are face to face, and we in their image and likeness have faces and relational qualities.
My question from this premise is, before creation, did God have a soul and or a body of matter or, are these created things? The soul, in three parts, the mind, the will and the emotions. The Spirit, soul and body, the latter two, are they created?
We are made in His image and likeness, relational beings to visit God in person, at a later time, seeing Him face to face.
This perspective can take into account other religions and gods such as the first god of Hinduism, Purusha, and Allah, and the Greek gods. And the Buddhist idea, that god can't be known. Also the rarer than Trinitarian belief of Modalism.
Does God have a face? Do the Son and the Spirit have souls and bodies each, or part of that?
