A key truth found in scripture, found in God, is the legal independence of the witnesses needed by Jesus. Testimonies about who Jesus truly is are a legal requirement and at least two or three independent witness testimonies are needed. The Lord Jesus is faithful and true as his own witness because he seeks to please the Father more than to please himself. The Father is another witness. Another witness only if the Father is another being, another individual, able to give a testimony about His Snn which is separate from and independent from the testimony of His Son. Third witness about the Son is the Holy Spirit. Independent as a witness giver. Independently testifying alongside the Father and the Son. A separate and independent being, else the testimony would not be valid. Then the apostles. These have their own independent thoughts and opinions, such that they too can give testimony each one about the Son they were with for years and knew well. Their unity is not anything that undermines the individuality of their testimonies each one about their Lord, Jesus Christ. Each testimony is needed. Each testimony is independent, as it comes from an independent individual. Each is legally valid. Two or three are necessary according to the laws of God and of His Son. Jesus taught that one testimony is his own, another is the Father’s, and these are the minimum needed by the law. A third is the Holy Spirit’s now that the Holy Spirit us given by God. The others are those of the apostles recorded in the gospels. All necessary.
