The word that translates Huparchon, “being” is from two Greek words,Hupo, ’Under,” and Arche, “a beginning.”

#1.Being, involves existence both before and after condition mentioned in connection with it.

#2. Morphe, Translates “Form" this is intrinsic to only God in this verse .

#3. The word Form is Anarthrous  in nature. Therefore emphasizing God’s Person. 

This therefore is stating that Jesus is that visible manifestation of the transcendent Spirit, making Jesus all titles, for He is the One God and Farther of all.

Prosopon, translates as  “role” or ‘manifestation” 

When Sabellius taught that God exists in one hypostasis, but is represented in scripture under different “roles”, prosopa” he maintained the one in numeric idea of oneness theology. My conclusion is that Son through time he adds Fatherhood and Deity through time he adds humanity. 

 1peter1.3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy….

In the Greek language, the definite article appears with “God,” but not with “Father.” This means that “father” and “God” are two terms referring to the same individual. We must always keep in mind that to know Jesus {God in His immanence} is to know the Father {God in His transcendence}. To negate Spirit or the Father of Creation is unthinkable to the highest degree. Our entire faith is driven by the fact that Jesus is all of the Godhead in his imminent form as Y'shua and I for one will die with these sweet words on my lips” My Lord and My God”.

I pray that this will make for some deep Discussion and prayer. Grace be added to you and your families in the name of our Lord and God Jesus.
