How can be Trinity Eternal?
Upvote:4
The Trinity doctrine is a way of expressing who God is, for Christians. It is a form of words that grapples with the concept of the inconceivable - the being of the one God who is Almighty, who is infinite, who is Spirit, and who is Creator of everything. We are finite creatures who come into existence at a certain point in time, then who die. We are mortals. Deity is immortal.
This means that if Deity is immortal (having no beginning and no end), and that Deity is triune in being, then the triune God is eternal. That answers your question.
However, you then go on to ask two more questions which indicate that you do not know what the Trinity doctrine teaches/says about the one God whom Christians worship. You need to sort out in what sense God is one. I suggest you ask a separate question on that (though it's already been answered here on Stack, both in Hermeneutics and in the Christianity sites.) Your other question about "the perception of evil" also requires to be dealt with separately. You are jumping from one thought to another, but if you gain clarity first on what the Trinity doctrine actually says (and does not say), you will be in a better position to tackle these other deep matters.
