What did God do before creation?

Followers of Judaism and followers of Islam believe God is unitarian, while genuine Christians know God is trinitarian.


If God was unitarian, just one person, then what did He do during the eternity before He created anything? He must have been very lonely. He would be like a human on solitary confinement? He would be a loner. He would have nobody to talk to and nobody to love but Himself. Doesn't that sound kind of strange? Maybe not to everyone, but it sure does to me.
The Bible teaches that God is trinitarian, that God is three persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is more logical. What did God do during the eternity before creating angels and humans? Now that question is very simple to answer and fits the character of God as taught in the Bible. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit talked to each other, loved each other, and enjoyed each other, way before the moment They decided to create angels, and later humans. God as revealed in the Bible was never a loner, with nobody to talk to and nobody to love.


God is social and is all about relationships. The divine being of modern day Judaism and the divine being of Islam didn't have any relationships until the creation of angels and humans.


We as humans were made for the purpose of having relationships with both God and other humans. That is a vertical relationship as well as horizontal relationships. The God who creates us all is not a unitarian being, but a trinitarian being. God is three persons, not one person. God was all about relationships from the beginning, unlike the God of modern day Jews and of Muslims who had no relationships until the creation of angels and humans.


Which God do you serve? The god who was a loner in the beginning, or the God who has never been alone?
