If so, then who was jesus talking to when he was hanging on the cross?
Then who was speaking from the heavens when jesus was baptised and who was the dove that descended to jesus? Sounds like three different ones to me.
And who was god while god/jesus was growing up in the holy land? Thats about 33 years without a god if they are the SAME PERSON.
If they are separate then this religion is polytheistic.

They aren't the same persons. Three different persons, yet one LORD God.
We are also made in God's image. People saw one like the Son of man before Jesus was born in a manger. One like the Son of man walked on earth with the first Adam, Ish & Isha. This is Jesus. God possessed wisdom before the earth was. That wisdom is Jesus (Logos).
God the Father, Word & Holy Spirit are one = Yahweh Elohim.
Jesus came from heaven to earth, in flesh & blood. Died on the cross for the remission of our sins. Raised from the dead in a new everlasting body (not flesh & blood).
God has highly exalted Jesus with a name above all names. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, every tongue confess Jesus Christ is LORD.
The LORD (Yahweh) thy God (Elohim, plural of ALH) is one (AKD, united) LORD (Yahweh).
The separation between God the Father & God the Son happened at the cross when Jesus bore the sins of the world. When Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" When Jesus walked the earth, He said, "The Father & I are one.".
So we are made in the image of God. Body / physical, mind / soul, spirit / emotions. All three parts have feelings. When we rebel against God, our spirit dies. It needs to be reborn to be reconnected to God.
Unforgiven,
God was a trinity first before satan tried to usurp God's identity. Be forgiven in the name & blood of Jesus Christ. It takes confessing to God, Jesus Christ your LORD & believing in your heart in the resurrection.

It is so sad that so many people believe in a doctrine that is not supported by Scripture. Let's compare what the trinity teaches with what the Bible REALLY says. According to the trinity, all persons of the godhead are equal. The Bible says that in the headship arrangment, God is is the head of the Christ. (1 Cor. 11:3) Jesus himself said at John 14:28 that "The Father is greater than I am." If all members of the trinity are equal, why did Jesus say that a person who blasphemes against the Son can be forgiven, but if he blasphemes against the holy spirit, forgiveness was not possible? (Matt. 13:32) The trinity teaches that Jesus is God the Son. The Bible calls "Jesus the Son of God", NOT "God the Son". (John 20:31) If it takes 3 divine beings to make God, what happened to part of Him when Jesus was dead and in a tomb for parts of 3 days? If Jesus is God, why did he tell Mary Magdalene that he was ascending to "your God and my God"? The Bible does not support the teaching that God is made up of three coequal persons. The trinity doctrine is a lie!

O.K. you've asked a question that a human can never answer. The Holy Trinity is possibly on of the most disputed topics among Christians. My personal thought on this is that They are separate. There is only one God. The way to God is through the Son. And the holy spirit is the earthly dwelling spirit that works today in ministry and in our own hearts. That is my outlook on it. Understanding everything in the Bible is not, fortunately, a prerequisite to salvation.

I agree this cracks me up and its is so pagan as the whole concept has it roots in non christian tradition going all the way back to Babylon.They had their trinities treitheistic i think the word is. A modern version is in Hinduism with Brahma[creator], Vishnu [preserver], and Shiva [destroyer].
Trinitarians try to ignore this fact and even twist the bible to prove this. Their is only one place where all three is mentioned together and that is at the end of the gospel of Matthew. All other arguments are based on John 1 which has been warped so much by Born again christians to become contradictory and Laughable in their New International Version . The trinity was not adopted until the 5th Century AD nearly 500 years after Christ in the Council of Worms and that was just the nature of The father and Son being the same. The argument raged on for hundreds of years afterward with much bloodshed. The idea was unknown to Jews prior to the gospels being written and is alien to Islam one of the reasons they view Christianity so sceptically. There is a good scripture in the bible referring to Apostates christian returning to detestable practices and beliefs and this is one of the most detestable.

Yes they are all the same. Essentially He was talking to himself. I asked the same question just last week. Since God was in human form he had shared some of human thoughts and the struggles of a human being. When Jesus said, "Why have you forsaken me?" He was seperated momentarily from God and sent to Hell to get all of the believers out of Hell. Before then, everybody went there because we could not appear righteous before God without the Blood of Jesus Christ. It is not something anybody human can fully understand. It just is, it is the part where faith in what God says to be true, is true in your heart. God is in heaven and He existed as a human being on earth simultaneously and He is also, because of His sacrifice, The Holy Spirit in each and every one of our hearts that have faith in Him and Believe Jesus Christ died for our sins. yours mine, everybodies. He is God, He can do anything. All things are possible with God.

yes, they are ONE God the Father, God the SON and God the Holy Spirit....just as every person is created by God with a triune nature 1. body 2. soul 3. spirit. There is an example from nature, something that is used daily...water. When it is frozen, it is still water, just in a different form, when it is steam, it is still water...and of course in its original form..h20. Just because we don't understand something doesn't make it false...this is God we are talking about...kind of like an ant trying to understand rocket science..right??

Yes, this is known as the Trinity. God is God, Jesus is God in the flesh and the Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit that fills you when you are saved.

Three persons with different functions. Three God heads but one in same therefore monotheistic. Jesus said the "Father and I are one" Jesus also said " I will send you a comfort=the Holy spirit" Jesus also said that "I am with you always even to the end World" God said " Let Us make man in our own image" ONE BIG POWERHOUSE!
