When we speak of the relationship shared by the Father, Son, and Spirit, we use the terms begotten and procession. Again I sound the warning, “Define these terms within the context in which they are being used.” That is, don’t think of “begotten” in human terms, but divine; don’t think of “procession” in a finite, creaturely sense, but in an eternal, unlimited, timeless sense. We must do so, for we are talking about the infinite, timeless being of God.
