Yes, it is, but Christianity took 300 years to resolve some sticky questions, and now we're stuck with the Big 3.

okay lets start at the beginning-- matt 6:v 7 as in heaven so on earth
in heaven one God
on earth one Man so far so good
adam, eve, cain and even poor little abel were all one Man on Earth
for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one in heaven, right or wrong
Wrong there was only one Man and there was only one God
but now there are many men and many Gods
i put it this way if you are a male, just try to think like one, it is easy and does not require thought for men do not much to think with in the first place
as a man do you have a father if yes do you have a son if yes then you cannot have a father because you are the father and if you are a son then you cannot have a son because you are the son.
adam did not have seth, and seth did not have enoch, adam was seth and enoch was adam. they were Man they were one
if that is confusing you then God is a God of confusion, it is man that is confused, and refuses to come out of the dark and into the light.
a son of man grows up to be a what?
a son of God grows up to be a what?
if a son of man becomes a man
then truth must have it
a son of God becomes a God
as on earth so it is in heaven

SOme will argue he is Omnipotent and can be anywhere at anytime and do what ever he likes.
Other who are not trinitarians believe that God is God, HIs Sonis Jesus, and his power is the holy spirit. They are not all one and the same. Hence when Jesusu got baptized and a voice from heaven said "this is my son the beloved, whom I have approved..." and the holy spirit came down in the form of a dove. Besides jesusu always prayed to god always and caled him father. WHy would he call himself father!? Its a mess how anyone could believe in the trinity!

He can't. God is one. There is no trinity as some would try to make you believe. The trinity did not come about until the Nicene Council of 325 AD. This is a doctrine of man, not found in the Bible anywhere. Every scripture about God says He is one. The only place in scripture that the number three is even used in conjuction with god is
1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
and it concludes by saying they are ONE!!!!!
All of the people talking about eggs, water, triangles, and shamrocks are just trying to justify what they believe. No scriptural basis whatsoever.

Lets say you have a triangle, a triangle has 3 sides, but the one triangle is still just as much of a triangle even though its made up of three sides. God is the same way, God has three parts: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, all three make up the one God. (you seem to mix up God and the Father).

The trinity was an invention of the early church, once it had been influenced by roman and greek methology. Jesus did not preach the trinity. Neither did ANY of the Prophets. Paul wanted to spread the religion to the pagans, even though jesus said he was sent only to the lost sheep of israel. Paganism also influenced christianity, as can be seen in such celebrations as christmas. Jesus was a practising jew, and did not intend to start a new religion.

Muslims believe that there is only one god .. And he don't have a son.
Jesus is a prophet and not a son of god .. and why he need a son ??!! sounds silly..

There is one NATO, one United Nations etc. I feel that God is an organization rather than one body. There is a mention that God uses "like us" in Genesis.
