Is it true that the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are one?

Answer 1

according to Christianity yes to all other faiths NO

Answer 2

They are all God - they all have the aspects of deity.

However, they are not identical.
The Father is not the Son (Luke 22:42).
The Son is not the Holy Spirit (John 14:16).
The Holy Spirit is not the Father (Luke 11:13).

Answer 3

Yes Also Known As The Holy Trinity

Answer 4

The idea of the trinity came about around the time of the Council of Nicea. The idea is that God is made up of the father, son, and holy spirit, that they all are one, and all are interdependent. The father is god, the Son is Jesus, and the holy spirit is how we see God here on earth. Look up some stuff on the trinity online, or find an old college theology textbook (but not too old, theories change all the time), and look up some stuff on the trinity. That may be helpful.

Answer 5

No it's not. It's all make believe non-sense.

"Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity." - Col. Robert Green Ingersoll

Yes

Answer 11

This is one of the great misconceptions of modern Christianity. The belief of "3 gods in one". It is quite clear in the scriptures that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are separate and distinct entities.

For example, when Jesus was baptized, the Father spoke saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" and the Holy Ghost descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove. Three separate entities. (Or else Jesus was just putting on a special effects show for the people?)

Later on, Jesus prays to the Father for his disciples. He tells them that the father will send the Comforter (Holy Ghost) after he has gone. It is clear from this that he is not schizophrenic, but rather talking about different beings than himself.

And the final peice of evidence is when Jesus prays to the father that his disciples can "be one, as we are". (See John 17 below) So here Jesus is either praying that the disciples can be unified in goal and purpose and "one" in the gospel as Jesus and the Father are unified in goal and purpose and "one" in the gospel...or Jesus is praying that somehow all his disciples will be imploded into each other to form one composite person. I'm voting for the former rather than the latter... :-)

John 17: 11, 21-23
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the aworld, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be bone, as we are.

21 That they all may be aone; as thou, bFather, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be cone in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be aone, even as we are bone:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made aperfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast bloved them, as thou hast loved me.
