How is the Logos person after incarnation?
Upvote:1
I think what you're wrestling with is how the definition of "person" is applied to deity. What does it mean that God is a "person"? Once this is nailed down, Trinity emerges as the only consistent solution, if one takes the New Testament as accurate. Thus, Logos is Christ, begotten from eternity, and yet also begotten in the flesh 2000 years ago. And he is a separate person from God the father. And so on.
This is distinct from things like pantheism or panentheism, one of which is that God can be everywhere at the same time, or modalism, where God shows up in different forms (modes) based on how He wants to do something. In the former, for example, God no longer needs to be a jealous God. Jealous of what? Every divine appearance is Him. That's not the God of the Bible. In the latter, God by definition can't have a genuine conversation with himself. That's not the God of the New Testament.
