Was God alone when he began creating things?

[Ps82]

My answer is No. John 1:1-2 tells us his WORD was with him and was him. How could that be. I'd love to share my conclusions but would like to hear the thoughts of others first.

Was the ONE God alone when he began creating things.

One has read my post ... no response.
Was it only a robot or just someone not wanting to express their thoughts?

I pray a human being will respond with thoughts of their own.

Hello. I think there has to be a current response for a thread to show up on New posts. So here goes.

 

[Ps82]

I'm such an impatient person. I get so excited when I write about the word of God. So here goes a bit.

God is Spirit ... and LIFE.

All of his Spiritual essence is alive!

If the truth is that his WORD was alive with him while being him, then so was his living power, living love, his living mercy, his living creativeness and so forth.

God was not alone.

So what was His living word? What could we say about the identity of the Living WORD of God other than he was God?

There is more you know. What have you to say about The WORD of God?

I am a trinitarian. ONE GOD does not mean one person or one consciousness. HE was never alone as all three persons of the Trinity were always existent.

GOD is love.
Love refers to a relationship, not a state of being.
A one person existing alone forever would not be loving with no one to love but rather would probably be insane...

Me too. I believe in The Spirit, The Father, and the Son... and now the Holy Ghost in me. A gift from my Lord. Yet, I have tried to explain how the ONE invisible Spiritual God could become literal walking talking individuals and they still are God. Jesus made all sorts of choices in life and I say that he could say and do anything while he was a man. Scripture says he was tempted in all ways but sinned not. I'd say that was a choice.

Scripture also helps to clear things up as in John 3:34-35 explains regarding our Savior Jesus as an individual. (I share my thoughts as well.)
34 For he (Lord Jesus Emmanuel) whom God (the Spirit) hath sent speaketh the words of God (for our Savior was The LIVING WORD of God in flesh as an individual): for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (IOW - God gave access of all of the Spirit of God unto our Lord's mission as Messiah)
35 The Father (God as LORD, (an Emmanuel) among men in the beginning) loveth the (manifested) Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

Above you see the Trinity of the God Head.

Hopefully you can begin to see what I am seeing. There is ONE God ... and the God Head is the Trinity. I believe all were alive in God eternally.

Now I list the trinity a tad differently than a lot of people might say ... for some count the holy ghost as part of the trinity, but I suggest this:
HE is the spiritual gift Jesus accomplished for us. Yes, he is a person but invisible to us and to others. I believe it is the Spirit of our God Jesus in us. That has to be why Scripture mentions "Jesus in us." To me Jesus is still at work on earth in us today.
Colossians 1:27 To them (the Gentiles) God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

The Holy Ghost is a person and he is our Lord Jesus. As God he has the power and right to give unto us what ever God wills. That is why we seek and ask ... for Jesus to reveal things to us.

GOD is love.
Love refers to a relationship, not a state of being.

I see your point. I won't quibble except to say LOL just have to say something:
If God the Spirit is LIFE how can any part of his essence not be alive. The WORD before it became an audible voice of God on the lips of the Father and the Son was alive as God... existing with God while being God. John 1:1-2 So I feel confident to suggest God's love, mercy, and power etc. are all just as alive ... Because they are things of his nature - sometimes I say things of his essence. God the Spirit is made up of these things which in Him are real and eternal. He can send his wisdom and his power among us and they are alive ... just not sent as a personage of the Godhead ... which is the trinity description of it.

A one person existing alone forever would not be loving with no one to love but rather would probably be insane...

I so agree God was never alone within himself. Too much infinite omni-present living eternal nature in him.
Then again he also created the angels ... The One God is a God of relationships and our Lord will have his own kingdom one day filled with his born again family.

Thank you for replying. Enjoyed sharing with you and hearing your thoughts. I think we agreed on much. God bless
