270 A— The components of Trinity mean certain established Beings. So these are three separate persons, but their Essence is One. Thus, the Father—who exists in His own right—and the Son and the Holy Spirit are necessary and indispensable from it. G— Since these three persons are all three perfect, and in all three exists the trait of exercising independent will—the Father exercising His own will, the Son exercising his will, and the Holy Spirit exercising its will— then please explain to us how there can be a unified essence in spite of this actual separation?

If this raises doubts in your mind thinking it to be against the established system of nature, then you should look at the example of Joshua, the son of N u n and the Prophet Isaiah, but we can find no trace of the miracles of the Messiah.

The twelve disciples were promised heavenly thrones; where did Judas Iscariot get his throne?
