In the beginning was the WORD...

"In the beginning the Word already existed.  The Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was already with God in the beginning.  Everything came into existence through Him.  Not one thing that exists was made without Him."  John 1:1-3

One thing I've always struggled with is the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  3 being 1 and 1 being 3.  John says that Jesus was able to tell God's message to people accurately because Jesus was fully God and fully man at the same time.  How could this be?  But again, John tells us that Jesus (the Word) ALWAYS was, He was there with God in the beginning.  And Jesus told the disciples that He ALWAYS will be.  The Always with us being the Holy Spirit with us, or Jesus with us.  But what about the beginning, was He there with God as John claims?  We don't have to read very far into the Bible to find out.

Then God said, "Let US make humans in OUR image, in OUR likeness.  Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth."  Genesis 1:26

Ironically, this passage was pointed out to us by a Mormon who was trying to show that many gods exist in heaven.  But we knew better, this was the first time we ever saw evidence of the Trinity in the Bible.  We were always taught about it, but there it was, right before us in the beginning.

Here is a good site to visit to hear some great philosophers of this era talk about the beginning of the world; http://fixed-point.org/index.php/video/35-full-length/164-the-dawkins-lennox-debate;
