God the Son ((ギリシア語:Θεός ὁ υἱός)) is the second person of the Trinity in Christian theology. The doctrine of the Trinity identifies Jesus as God the Son, ''united in essence but distinct in person'' with regard to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit (the first and third persons of the Trinity). In these teachings, God the Son pre-existed before incarnation, is co-eternal with God the Father (and the Holy Spirit), both before Creation and after the End (see Eschatology). Son of God for some draws attention to his humanity, whereas ''God the Son'' refers more generally to his divinity, including his pre-incarnate existence. ==Source of the term== The term "God the Son" is not found in the Bible, but is a term found in later Christian sources. By scribal error the term is in one medieval manuscript, MS No.1985, where Galatians 2:20 has "Son of God" changed to "God the Son". The term in English follows Latin usage as found in the Athanasian Creed and other texts of the early church: * In Greek "God the Son" is ''Theos o Iios'', Θεός ὁ υἱός (as distinct from ''o Iios'' nominative ''tu Theu'' genitive, ὁ υἱός του Θεού, "Son of God"). * In Latin "God the Son" is Deus (nominative) Filius (nominative). The term "deus filius" is found in the Athanasian Creed: "Et tamen non tres omnipotentes, sed unus omnipotens. Ita Deus Pater, Deus Filius, Deus () Spiritus Sanctus." (distinct from ''filius Dei'' genitive "son of God"), but this phrase is also translated "So the Father is God: the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God".〔Philip Schaff (1877b), (The Creeds of Christendom ).〕 The distinction holds true in other modern languages apart from English, for example: * In Hebrew "God the Son" (''Elohim ha-Ben'' אלוהים הבן) is used in modern Israeli Christian literature in relation to the "Holy Trinity" (''ha-shilush ha-kadosh'' השילוש הקדוש). As distinct from the term "son of God" (''ben Elohim'' בן אלוהים) as found in the Hebrew New Testament. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「God the Son」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
