Question 42 — Equality and Likeness among the Divine Persons

We now have to consider the persons as compared to one another: first, with regard to equality and likeness; second, with regard to mission.

Concerning the first there are six points of inquiry.

(1) Whether there is equality among the divine persons?

• (2) Whether the person who proceeds is equal to the one from Whom He proceeds in eternity?
• (3) Whether there is any order among the divine persons?
• (4) Whether the divine persons are equal in greatness?
• (5) Whether the one divine person is in another?
• (6) Whether they are equal in power?
