The Trinity is what we would call a "mystery," meaning that we can't fully comprehend it in this life with our limited human senses and way of thinking. However, what we do know is that it consists of three persons who are all distinct but who are all equally God--the early councils of the Church used the word "consubstantial," or, in Greek, "homoousios," which means "same substance."

Here is a graphical explanation, what is known as the "shield of faith."

Exactly. You see and know one person of the Godhead, you know them all. Why is that? How could you know God by simply knowing a regular human? You CAN'T. You can't SEE God without SEEING Him.

Right because God is just one uni-personal God, and you are right a second time Jesus was no ordinary human being. He was God the Father incarnate.

But wouldn't that make him a separate person from God the Father, if God the Father was still in heaven, answering his prayers? Or, do you believe Jesus "the Father" was praying to himself? Very simple questions.
