This God would be the creative agent of the Godhead. He would make everything that the Father should want.

 

He would personally and individually create all of the Father’s children according to the Father’s spec and then, this God had to love among the Father’s children as one of them.

 

The idea here is that the Godhead wanted every order of creation to see how God would live if God actually walked “in their shoes.”

 

The title of the Creator was originally called “Michael.” He would be the archangel.

He would be the chief angel.

 

The name Michael means, “One who is like God.”

 

The really big downside in this role is that this God would have to die if the redemption of any child should become necessary.

 

Rule #2 says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

 

So, if a person like Eve should become the only sinner, Rule #2 required the death of her Creator.

 

Jesus said, John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”

 

In other words, if any being should sin for any other reason than defiance, and the Father wanted to redeem that being from eternal death, the Creator was the chosen God who must pay the price for sin.

 

So, the three roles were carefully and thoughtfully drawn up.

 

The positives and negatives were fully discussed and weighed.

 

Which role would each assume?

 

1.   Who would sit on the throne and live in isolation?

 

2.   Who would be everywhere but forever be invisible? 

 

3.   Who would create life and die to redeem man if necessary?

 

IMPORTANT:   All three Gods were qualified to fulfill any role and all three Gods were willing to submit to any role.

 

All three Gods agreed to serve in whatever position their lot should be.

 

And I conclude they cast lots to see which role they would assume.

 

To this day, under certain circumstances, the Bible indicates that God approves the casting of lots.

 

OK, here’s a HUGE point that I hope you will ponder:

 

When we consider the sufferings and death of Christ, don’t forget that the Father and the Holy Spirit would have done the same thing for you and me if that had been their lot.

 

John 14:9   Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Phillip, even after I have been among you for such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”

 

As I said in the beginning of this study, this explanation of three equal Gods is controversial and simplistic and I don’t have time to validate each point, but I wanted to share these matters with you because these matters highlight the origin and operation of God’s Two Witnesses: The Two Laws and the Holy Spirit.
