I honestly do not know. I suppose that you could say He became a father when He created angels, and there is some justification for that in scripture. You could also say He became a father when He created Adam and Eve. The only certainty I see is that He became the Father of Jesus when His Holy Spirit impregnated Mary.

So you don't believe in the Eternal Fatherhood of God?

=======================================What does I don't know mean to you?
Well, in view of the fact that you followed up " I don't know" with a rather lengthly surmising, I would say that question was appropriate ---- otherwise you would have simply said, I don't know and I wouldn't have asked the question. I mean, you surmised about this father thing, didn't you, suggesting more than one possibility, didn't you --- and, guess what, you left out the possiblility of the Eternal Father -- so you tell me.
