At a number of occasions in the New Testament, we clearly see/hear the Father and Son in different places. How can this be, if you believe in the Trinity? Can God temporarily divide himself?
Take the story of Jesus's baptism. Jesus was in the water. A voice from Heaven declares that he is pleased with his only Son. The Holy Ghost descends upon Jesus like a dove. All three members of the Trinity are present here, each in a different place.
How can we understand the idea of Trinity in light of this type of event and other similar ones (Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Stephen's martyrdom)? Please explain in a way that a normal human being can understand.
