The following brief discussion of the doctrine of the Trinity is a response to a man who wrote to me, asking why I gave the impression in one of my texts that the Father existed prior to Christ, and brought forth the Word, the Expression of Himself, according to His own will. Tim was asking about the doctrine of the Trinity, about the relationship of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Father. I may have mentioned in that booklet that when John says Christ was in the beginning, it does not signify that God has a beginning. It means, rather, that in the beginning of the creation—the same expression found at the opening of the Book of Genesis.
