      That’s not in the original canon, Jesus is the son of Joseph, being the son of God was an insertion to make the new religion more understandable to the hellenic world in which powerful mortals were almost always the product of a god making a child with a mortal.

      Prior to that Jesus as God the Son was meant more that he was God incarnate as the child of Mary and Joseph, not as the literal child of God the Father since they’re the same entity, you can’t father yourself.

      Really the trinity would probably be better set up as “God the Heavenly, God the Incarnate, and God the All Observant.”

      Far better describes what each actually does, one is the creator who reigns in heaven, one is the liberator from sins tied to your very bloodline via the liberation from original sin, and one is the all seeing presence who judges your moral character upon your death.
