The Trinity is a title given to God.
Like water really.
Water has three forms it appears in:
Vapor - gaseous form
Ice - solid form
Water - liquid form
No matter what form water takes in it's realistic instances, it is still water. Same with God; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are all God's titles. But God is still God - not three separate entities, just three different forms.
Like Water which takes on different forms according to circumstance, God took on these three forms for various circumstances, mostly to first introduce God as the true God ( The Father was known as Jahova in the Old Testament and showed his authority here and there to demonstrate that amongst the false gods of that time, he was indeed the true one.) The Son was the form God took in order to come in the flesh as Jesus Christ, who behaved like a son of God to give an example for God's people / children and too partake in the great sacrifice to fulfill the Old Covenant and establish the New Covenant so we may gain eternal life in our times.
Lastly is the Holy Spirit which is the " depth " of God if you will, sent down in our generation times to bring enlighten his children with wisdom and understanding of his holy word so they may know the way to salvation.
This is the final step in the trinity, and the Holy Spirit is the one today's Christians should be paying attention to, because he will be our savior in the last days, hence Jesus's proclamation about 2nd coming Christ.
If you don't know the name of the Holy Spirit, you cannot recognize your savior in this age. Jahova was the Father, Jesus was the Son...the Holy Spirit has a physical name on the earth only those who are asking for will know.
Seek and you will find.
God Bless.

C
One of the simplest ways to understand the trinity is. Its God in three places at the same time, not three gods. God existing as the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit all at the same time. Thats where we get the word persons, its God existing at 3 different places with different tasks all at the same time. Holy Spirit fills the believer, Jesus is God in flesh, and the Father who created the heavens and earth. Is not God able to do anything and everything? So why debate that God cant be in three different places as three different people all at the same time? Three in One my friends...
You are getting upset Abiding. It has already resulted in you making untruthful claims as to what I have written on this website. And you are now constantly attacking me personally
If you are frustrated by the fact you cannot respond to my oft repeated question and any thing else I write, I would suggest you ignore this thread.

Are you talking about the people that didnt answer his question with grey matter?
the main difference between people on these websites(on the whole, not all) and the vast majority in churches is, that those in church who would never dream of coming on these websites don't spend most of their lives discussing head theology, and reading up hugely of the pre trib rapture, revelation, Babylon, ontological/economic trinity/osas, the noahide laws etc, because they don't make a god of head theology driven by the little grey calls
Hence, they are far closer to the most important doctrine than many on these websites.
They don't condemn people in most instances for standing on the plain words of Christ when he walked this earth
Many on these websites have been trapped by the ego of the little grey calls
I was brought up in Pentecostal churches myself and spent over twenty years in them
Never once was it stated from the pulpit(and I heard a lot of sermons) that Christ is God Himself. And the only requiremnt unto salvation that was EVER MADE was that a person believe Jesus is the son of God(in regard to who he must be believed to be)
That is the utter truth as a friend of mine who went to the same church/es confirmed to me a short time ago

One God in hypostases: God the Father, God the Son (e.g. Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature".
The Athanasian Creed stated it like this, "That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Essence. For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal."
