Hey Dude.............
1) the Holy Trinity is a mystery
2) The Holy Trinity consists of Father, Son & the Holy Spirit.

A most common question that people ask is how can God be three person a nd one person at same time?
The answer to this is:-

We don't know how God can be three persons at the same time, but we know he is because the Bible tells us so. The idea of three in one (the Trinity) is very hard to understand. Some people use the example of water. Water can be a liquid, a gas, or a solid. We usually see water in liquid form, as when we use it for drinking or for taking a bath. But water can also be a gas, as when it turns to steam. And it can be a solid, in the form of ice. But whether liquid, gas, or solid, it's still water. In some ways God is like a family with father, mother, and child - three persons and one family. Just remember that the Trinity does not mean that we have three gods. There is one God with three persons. The Trinity also does not mean that God wears three hats, or takes on three roles, at different times. All three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - have always existed.

Key Verse
[Jesus is speaking] "So now go and make disciples in all the nations. Baptize them into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19)

The Trinity doctrine is not a part of true Christianity, it developed from pagan religions and traditions, so any explanation of the Trinity is false because through a true study of the Bible one would know that God is ONE God, Jesus is his son-key word son, a son and father are never equal. Even those that say Jesus only called God his father because he was on Earth don't have a valid argument because while in heaven after his death he still didn't think he was equal to his father-Phillipians 2:5-7. The holy spirit, is just that, a spirit, not a person or apart of God, it is how God gets things done. But no matter how much I say to you about this it doesn't really mater because only through a study of the Bible will one truly understand.

The Bible teaches that Jesus, just like God has always been around. John1 states that in the beginning was the word and goes on to say the word is Jesus christ. So just because he was not dwelling on earth at this time doesn't mean he was not around. The father, son and holy spirit make up the trinity. They are one but have three different jobs. Hope that helps. Read John1 if it doesn't.

I don't personally believe that there is such a thing as the Holy Trinity. The word "trinity" wasn't even a word until a short while ago. Look it up. I have went to church all my life and believe that there is no such thing. The Bible clearly says that Jesus said, " I and my Father are one". If there is such a thing, which one is the all-powerful one? Is Jesus a little lower than the Father, or the Holy Ghost? Jesus claimed to be God robbed in the flesh of humanity. I believe that God did not literally send someone else to die for our sins, but He came Himself.

Most trinitarians cannot fully explain the trinity because it's false! Let's discuss, for example, the equality theory. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are supposed to be co-equal. But is a son ever equal to his father? The wording itself disproves the trinity belief. The fact that Jesus was on earth (in the Greek scriptures) disproves that he and the Father are one. He also prayed to his Father while on earth, does this mean he was praying to himself? And what about when Jesus was baptized? Holy spirit was poured out on him in the shape of a dove, then God's own voice said, "This is my son, the beloved, whom I have approved." Was Jesus talking to himself and about himself if the trinity is in fact real? Why would an equal part of himself (Father)have to approve of the other part of himself (Son)? There are so many holes in this teaching. As you can see, it sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Jesus was around in the Old Testament. Jesus lived in heaven with the Father. If you read in Genesis: Gen 1:26 And God said, Let US make man in our image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. The Holy Spirit has also always been around because when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us and it came down from Heaven:

The holy trinity was a concept taken from religions that existed before Christianity. As with many of the concepts and ceremonies that have formed the basis of our modern religions, the practices of the religions of the time were frequently adopted by the newer religions in order to gain converts.

The Holy Trinity only came about after the birth of christ and the formulation of the New Testament.

According to religion, Jesus was around when the Old Testament was written, but not in human form. The trinity isn't physical, it's an entity made up of their essences.
