is god a concept? like trinity where he is a body(jesus) a spirit (holy spirit) and a father? then he is weak. he needs the assistance of the others in order to make him alive? shouldnt god be the lmighty where he can create what he wish and be what he wants wherever and whenever he wants?

God is what you make him to be, he will never be any more or any less than what you let him be. Each of us are a part of the whole, and the whole is a part of each of us. In that concept God is neither an entity or a concept in man's mind, he is the essence of life, the life giving force. It does not weaken God to use the body (Jesus), iit is just that man is weak and cannot understand a concept unless it is brought to him in material or physical form, so God uses what man can comprehend. The Holy spirit does not weaken God, anymore than you using your arm weakens you instead of doing something with your mind. The Holy spirit can go 'out' fluidly among the people allowing God to remain, the Holy spirit is a direct connection, a part of, therefore God is still using a part of himself, like the body, to do things. It is the HUMAN perception and interpretation that is wrong, but of course us humans don't like to hear that. We think WE are perfect and we have all the correct answers.

GOD is pure love and we being corupt with an evil nature with the first disobedance to his will right after creation, we tend to have a hard time with the thought of him. The only reason people tent to cringe when you try to talk about him to them is because there are fallen angles that have the ability to enter our souls and run us like the same way you operate a car, but the diffrence between us and a car is that we can expell the evil sprit with prayer and fasting, which is to go without food to weaken the body, Oh yea "is there a GOD?" you bet your life and he is one!!!!!!!!!!!!! So don't believe just anyone that say's "he is this way or that way" Just read the King James version of the Bible and find him yourself, but be ready for some temptation from the devil and his followers because he does not like loosing anyone to GOD!

God is an unknowable essence. If we could know God, we would be equal to, or better than Him. Just as a painting can't know its artist; we, His creation cannot know, Him, our Creator.
Just as the sun is too powerful for us to know, but we can know the qualities of the sun (heat, light) through its rays (the Holy Spirit), we can know the qualities of God through His Divine Manifestations: Zoroaster, Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah, as they are as perfectly-polished mirrors, when reflecting the sun, reflects the heat and light of the sun. In the same way, the Divine Manifestations reflect all the attributes of God: loving kindness, compassion, mercy, etc. We can listen to/look at Them, and say they are God--and it's true--but it's not true (a paradox), because God does not descend from His heaven, and the physical sun in the universe does not come down to the earth.
The Divine Manifestations were not God, they only reflected His divine attributes.
Trinity is man-made doctrine. God is one.
"God doeth whatsoever He willeth." --Baha'u'llah

God is the "I AM!" The first thought. Awareness. Realizing God
existed.
They say there are things in this world that are a reflection of
things in the spirit, (invisible), world.
Just like the smallest form of life. A one-celled amoeba, can divide itself and create two amoebas. Our Creator gives a little
of the essence that God is, and creates our spirits.
Material man, with his finite existence, and dependence on
material words for understanding. Always tries to put limitations
on God. God, and the abilities of our spirit as well, are
limitless.

God is father of Jesus. Holy Spirit is gift that christians have that set them apart. God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit acts as one because you need to believe and have all these things as a christian. God is strong and mighty. God has everything under control and does not need any assistance from no one.

Yes, you are right. God is an entity not a concept and he resides in the heaven. He is so called by humans only for lack of another better word. If I called him Sakra, would it make any different. Gods are another form of existence much like humans is a form of existence on earth.

I am
called by many names
Shiva, Jehovah, God, Allah
You have built temples and churches for Me.
You searched for Me on pilgrimages and on mountains,
but you couldn’t see Me with those eyes.
My form is of divine light, like a shining star.
I reside in a world far beyond this material universe.
You too reside with Me in that supreme abode of timeless peace.
Your form is also like mine - subtle, eternal, divine.
You came onto this stage to play your part through the body.
When this drama comes to an end, you return to the supreme abode with Me.
Whilst playing your part, you lose yourselves in the play, you forget Me, you forget your home. I incarnate once every cycle of this human play to free you from the strings of attachment and ignorance.
I remain ever free, ever pure, ever blissful, ever loving.
I remind you that you are like Me and that you belong to Me always.
When you recognize Me accurately and focus your thoughts on Me,
you come back to Me.
My incarnation is divine, unique and incognito.
I am your long forgotten Father.
My relationship with you is
eternal

This idea that you have is a limitation on God, as is anything that can be said of Her. Using the word Her is an example. This limits God to a specific gender. It says that God is not something by saying that She is female. If she is female she can not be male.
If He is a concept then he is not a creator. We need to shut up about God and stop limiting Her with our pronouncements about what she is.
If She is the christian God then she can't be the Hindu God.
This is simply stupid. She is every-ones God, or He is no ones God.
Love and blessings
