Did God in the beginning have a companion? Was God alone?... God's book, the Bible, teaches that God who is spirit is only ONE but He is a "ONE truine GOD." God is one and He was alone with HIMSELF and HIS SPIRIT in the beginning just like when I (a person who thinks) am alone with myself (ME, a person who breathes, makes ME alive and moves my body parts according to my will). When you are alone, do you talk to yourself? YES!
Example: YOU who think for yourself sometimes talk to YOURSELF within you. Your SPIRIT moves your mouth to say the words for YOU who think and for YOURSELF who feels. I(a person) who thinks for MYSELF sometimes talk to MYSELF (a person who feels) within me and my SPIRIT (a person who has the breath and conscience) moves my mouth to say the words for me who thinks and for myself who feels. I am three distinct inseparable persons that make the one soul I AM.
In like manner, the one GOD of the Bible who revealed himself as the "I AM" is the absolute unity or the one truine of the three distinct persons of GOD.
GOD is only ONE and HE (GOD the MOST HIGH) was in the beginning alone with HIMSELF (God the WORD) and His SPIRIT (God the HOLY SPIRIT). There are three distinct inseparable persons in ONE truine GOD. God the MOST HIGH (He who thinks for Himself- later became the Father), God the WORD or LORD (the SELF of God - later became the SON) and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT (the SPIRIT of God who later became the comforter.
God the MOST HIGH, God the WORD or LORD and God the HOLY SPIRIT are inseparable, possess and are within each other in ONE absolute union such that there is no true GOD who does not have all of the three persons in ONE 'I AM".
The union of the three persons of God does not produce a secondary nature for all have one and the same nature. The absolute oneness is such that one is always present in each other and manifests also the exact image of all.
When you see one, you have also seen the others (in one) for they possess one and the same nature. Each person of God is the fullness of all the other persons, yet each person of God also maintains and does not lose his individuality, functions,and distinctions. Yet there is only one GOD, the "I AM".
Example: Fire has LIGHT, HEAT, and FLAME. No one can separate the light of fire from its heat and flame, nor can the flame be separated from its heat and light or its heat from its flame and light. The three elements of fire are totally unique and distinct from each other, yet they are inseparably within or possess each other, making ONE fire such that there is no fire that does not have the flame,heat, and light. Without all three elements, no true fire could exist. Though the FLAME, HEAT and LIGHT of fire are distinct, they are indivisible. Such is the union of the three persons of God. This is however a limited illustration.
Any thought?
