John 5:19


John 5:19:
Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.



"for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner."

Now let's list what God the Father does:
  • God (the Father) created the entire universe. He is the Creator.
  • God (the Father) sustains the entire universe. He is the Sustainer.
  • God (the Father) knows everything. He is all-knowing and omniscient.
  • God (the Father) can do everything. He is omnipotent.

Again, according to John 5:19, Jesus Christ "also does in like manner" all those things.



The problem with all anti-Christian, anti-Trinitarians is that they simply cannot grasp the fact that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are ONE GOD - ONE BEING, NOT three separate beings. So all Three PERSONS of God do everything in perfect UNITY. All Three Persons participated in the creation of universe:


Genesis 1:1-2, 26-27:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
...
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
John 1:1-3:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
Colossians 1:16-17:
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Hebrews 1:3:
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Here we see that God incarnate - Jesus Christ is:
  • The Creator - "For by Him all things were created", "All things were made through Him"
  • The Sustainer - "in Him all things consist", "and upholding all things by the word of His power"
  • He is omnipotent and omniscient, as it follows from the fact that He is the Creator.


Yet again, this does not obviously mean that there are three separate Creators or Sustainers, because all three Persons are ONE DIVINE BEING - Who is the Creator and the Sustainer. And He (God) just exists in a unique, mysterious way as three distinct Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is God, so the way He exists is beyond our finite understanding. All we can do is make sense of what He has revealed to us about Himself - not try to make God easy to understand by downgrading His uniqueness or by making His divine nature more like ours.
