FAQ # 232

QUESTION  232 :  Here is a conversation taking place prior to the incarnation, the upcoming incarnation being the very topic of conversation: "Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: 'Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me'...Then I said, 'Behold, I have come - In the volume of the book it is written of Me - To do Your will, O God'" (Hebrews 10:5-7). If this is prior to the incarnation, it means the son is pre-existent and there is a Trinity, doesn't it?

Like the other New Testament prophecies from Psalms, this was spoken under inspiration and was meant to be a prophecy of things to come. The expression of it doesn't suggest that a pre-existent person called 'God the Son' dialogued with another called 'God the Father' about the incarnation. It was simply a prophetic utterance given in this unique style.

Even further, the book of Hebrews showed that it was the same person speaking in this mysterious way, for then it was mystery and mystery is meant to be hidden. Notice,

"Above [moreover] when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God" (Heb 10:8-9).

This was one sentence, completed by a full stop; meaning, the "he" that is highlighted is the same person. The person that has no pleasure in sacrifices, is the same that "come to do thy will." Old Testament mystery unraveled in the New Testament.
