Things attributed to one person of the Trinity can also be attributed to another, or all three

Not only does each member of the Trinity possess the qualities unique to deity, they are also each credited with some of the exact same deeds. This reinforces the claim that there is but one God.

      • In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and the earth. – Genesis 1:1

        (Note: The Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that God created Jesus, and that Jesus subsequently created everything else. If what they say is true, then Genesis 1:1 would appear to contradict John 1:1-3, as the heaven and the earth would logically fall under the category of all things
      • [16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. – Colossians 1:16-17

      • [17]Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18]No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. – John 10:17-18
