coeternal
Sharing eternal existence
Coeternal describes things that have existed together for all time, without beginning or end.
The term appears almost exclusively in Christian theology, where it describes the relationship among the persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are coeternal, none preceding or creating the others: The Nicene Creed affirms that Christ is coeternal with the Father.
