Trinity

In the Law, it said, "In the mouth of two or three witnesses, shall every word be confirmed".

God required that. Two or three witnesses. Otherwise a word couldn't be confirmed.

Every word - including God's own Word. God wouldn't require something of man, and not require it of Himself.

So even God's Word needs to be, and is confirmed by two or three witnesses.

If God the Son and God the Holy Spirit did not therefore co-exist eternally with God the Father, then we wouldn't have two or three witnesses to confirm what God said about Himself.

We couldn't know for sure that He Himself was Who He said He was.

We couldn't know for sure that He was the original.

We couldn't know for sure that He was eternal.

We couldn't know for sure that He is love. Or that He has always and only ever been love.

God is love. But we wouldn't know He is love, unless He always had Someone to love.

Even if His nature was Love - with no-one to love - and without two or three witnesses that He is love - we couldn't know for sure that He is love and that He always has been love.

It is only because there have always been two or three witnesses that we know God is the eternal God and that He is love.

"There are three Who bear record in heaven" - and there always has been.
