how do adventists view of the trinity?

[EastCoastRemnant]

"Beginning" is a function of Time - which God created.
If the Son was begotten outside of time, "beginning" is meaningless.

It's not about "beginning vs no beginning"... it's the chain of Divine authority in the Godhead that matters... as Overcomer just stated, it has influenced and allowed Satan to introduce all these "isms" into the world... all intended to promote some fairy tale of oneness/equality. Communism, feminism, liberalism, socialism, catholicism etc.

The son's beginning might be meaningless to us in term of the concept of time.

But his beginning is vital to show his relationship to the Father that he's the son of God, not the coeternal second person of the Godhead.

You appear to have an Einsteinian view of time, but time is subjective. God created the orbiting earth but he called a year 360 rotations of the planet. The unit of time God gave us is the seven day week there is no other source for the seven day week other than God.

God gave us a day from sunset to sunset, a week, seven days; time is not an entity; its existence is no different to a thought. Time is as length and length is not an entity; time is as volume and volume is not an entity; a straight line can have a single temporal dimension but is not an entity; the earth is an entity but is a rotation an entity regardless of how long it takes?

Jesus is the alpha and the omega; the beginning and the end.
