What's up with Trinity and One God?... Answers to the “Part 1” of my question showed that you could only believe in one of the two points raised by my question: Either God is one or God is a Trinity. You simply cannot believe in both. Most detailed answers presented metaphors to explain how three equals one. Ok, by itself, Trinity seems just fine. John, Jane and their son Joe are three distinct persons but they are one family. That is fine, but they are not one “Person”. They are three distinct persons. True, together they form a family but a family is not a person. So The Father, The Son and The Ghost are three distinct Gods, and yes, together they form a “family” of Gods, but not a single God. So by looking at Trinity in a vacuum, it makes good sense. There are three distinct Gods, and together they form the Godhead. But they are still three persons, acting in agreement but not physically one. To make them one physically, people start using metaphors and long-winded jargon.
