"I and My Father are One". John 10:30

A catholic would answer yes. Some Protestants would say no. Jesus said to love our neighbor as our selves and God above all things; which sort of implies that we are all part of God and deserve love.
Taking that a step forward, it makes us all part of God. We make our gods, so why not allow not only God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to be one, but all of us be as ONE?
Then, maybe, we would get away from the fights about religion and start improving the situation for everybody and for our surrounding environment.

They are all one but many parts. Now that is confusing but there are two ways to describe this. An egg is one whole but it has three parts: the shell, the white and the yolk and each one serves a certain purpose.
I am a wife but I am also a mom and a daughter. I am one person but I have different roles within the one person.
God is the Father, creator of all things. Jesus and the Holy Spirit were also responsible for the creation in their own ways (Let US make man in our image. Jesus came in the flesh and was God in the flesh. The Holy Spirit now dwells in every believer as comforter and convicts of sin.

Jesus was a Jew who never heard of Christianity and he certainlly never claimed to be the Son of God. He was a great public speaker who could draw a crowd and he had a lot more than twelve followers. The Romans were the bosses and they didn't want any Jewish leaders, so they bumped him off. Saint Paul never met Jesus but there were a lot of pagans who had taken on a lot of Jewish ways. They even went to the synagogue, but they couldn't convert to Judaism because they refused to be circumcised. Paul started preaching to them. He told them they could keep their own customs. They became the first Christians. In those days, people worshiped people, living or dead. Augustus Caesar was the first emperor of Rome. He started saying he was the Son of God. The early Christians replied "Jesus is the Son of God." They were only supposed to have one God and now they had two. They solved the problem by developing the doctorine of the Trinity.

God says in the Scriptures, "I am the Word, and the Word is God and the Word was made flesh." Flesh being that God came to this earth in the form of a human named Jesus for one purpose and one purpose only. That purpose being to go to the Cross as the sacrifical lamb to shed His blood in full payment for sin. Jesus told His disciples that He would ask God to send the Holy Spirit to reside in them, to comfort, and to lead and guide them. The Holy Spirit moves in and resides in all that come into the saving knowledge of Jesus, the Christ. All are one and the same.

No, God is the creator of the other two.
Jesus is a messenger of God and Holy Spirit a great angel.

NO, Jesus never claimed to be equal to God. When Jesus died, who resurrected him back to heaven? It was God who was in heaven.
Also the Bible says that no man has seen God, but many saw Jesus. It also tells us that no man can see God and live. Many saw Jesus and lived. Here are a few more Scriptures which prove the Trinity doctrine is a false teaching of Christendom:
John 5:26,27: "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man." (If Jesus were God, he would already have authority)
John 5:30: "--as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (If they were one, it would be the same will)
John 5:37: "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." (This corresponds with the fact that no one has ever seen God in any form.)
There are many more to show that God and his Son are entirely separate, one being greater than the other.
God's spirit is his active force or power that he uses to accomplish his purposes and he uses it to strengthen his servants in times of persecution and trials.

Yes, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three seperate entities, but they are still considered one, they are the Holy Trinity. Little confusing, but think of it this way, and egg has three seperate parts, the shell, egg white, and yolk, but are still one when put together they make an egg. I know, very different example, but it gives you the idea.

The Father
The Son (Jesus)
The Holy Spirit
Yes Their the same God. God is tri or more commonly called trinity. Like anything that has multiple parts, it doesnt matter how many parts it has its still one piece one thing. A table has a surface, legs, and maybe some screw or nails; but it's still one table.
God is the same, He has three parts and each part does something different; but He's still one God.
