@Grailhunter I am not going to post scriptures for all of my answers or opinions or beliefs or conclusions because it would take more time and often I do not remember where something is even though I am certain it is in the Bible. Please bear with me on that...
"And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27
What does the psalmist mean here?
"Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." Psalm 78:41
How could they limit an all powerful God other than by holding Him to His own Word... even though they hurt themselves by doing it.
To simplify your understanding of where I am even though my beliefs quite often not ATs [Absolute Truths =essential truths]. I lean toward a Duality rather than a Trinity, a Diune rather than a Triune... but perhaps not that either. Then also Holy Spirit as a separate being or entity from the Father.
What is a son to men? What is the Son/son to God?
In both cases something separate from the father, but nevertheless from the father.
I see the relationship of Jesus to his Father as the reality versus the type or shadow seen in Joseph and Pharaoh:
Ge 41:40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
How much of Himself is the Father able to give to another?
My wife has three medical appointment today. Two are in our apartment and one at a clinic so I am uncertain how much of this I will get done today.
First question might be: What is God? Can God make another or is that something that He cannot do? What does Jesus mean here?... People that are paying attention maybe asking....
How can one God beget Himself? How does that work?
God the Father loves His Son. Does God the Father love Himself?

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son....How does that work?
