Most Christians believe that God is one eternal being who exists as three distinct, eternal, and indivisible persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ the eternal Word), and the Holy Spirit.

"They were all filled with awe and praised God, "A great Prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country." Luke 7:16-7
(we Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet ,why don't Christians accept that he was a prophet?
..."I have not come on my own; but he (God) sent me." John 8:42
We Muslims believe he was sent by God ,not son of God or God incarnate ,so why Christians believe he was part of trinity?
..."Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him"...
Matthew 8:24-5
We Muslims believe Jesus was like any other humanbeing, why don't Christians believe?
"On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived." Luke 2:21
We Muslims get circumcised, so why don't Christians get circumcised?
Additional Details
...he (Jesus) fell with his face to the ground and prayed... Matthew 26:39
We Muslims fall on our faces when we pray,Why don't Christians?
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only"... John 1:18
We Muslims say no one has seen God ,so why Christians believe Jesus was God or part of trinity?
Dear friends We as Muslims are following all the steps of Jesus Christ teachings,
Why don't you pickup a copy of Quran and find out the truth about Jesus and God .
A lot of Christians are confused who to pray ,i can guarantee you if you read the Quran you won't get confused any more
I THINK THE TRUTH IS HURTING TO PEOPLE
A person who submits his will to God ,than he or she is a Muslim
If you don't believe in God than you are not Muslim,Thank God we Muslims are Muslim

There is only one true God and his name is Jehovah, Jesus Christ is his Son, the first born of all creation, who resided in heaven with his Father before coming to earth, he lowered himself to become a perfect human to pay the ransom needed to redeem fallen mankind, the Holy Spirit is the active force of God, his power that he uses to accomplish his will. Yes, most of the ones calling themselves Christians believe that God is made up of three persons but this is not so, do not the Scriptures say that wide and spacious is the road leading off into destruction and many are following it, whereas, the road leading to eternal life is narrow and cramped and few find it? The Bible encourages you to draw close to God and He will draw close to you. How can you draw close to a God who is considered a mystery and you can't understand? Doesn't make sense does it?

It's been a while since I explained this concept. So here goes again.
The Father is God he is all the God that there is. The Son (Jesus) is God He is all the God there is. The Holy Spirit is God and again all the God that there is. This is best understood by the mortal mind by looking at Creation. God has reveled Himself to us there as well as in the Bible.
The dimension of space are height, width and breadth. Each of these dimensions is infinite and by that definition each contains all space. Yet these dimension make up one space.
God is like that each is God all the God that can be because He is infinite yet these three are the One true God... Jim

The most effective way that I have heard it explained to me is the 3 dimensional metaphor.
God is like a cube....Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Father could be length, Son width and Holy Spirit depth. All three are seperate and sort of "share" the same space but are 3 distinct aspects of the one cube. That's how I look at it. I don't think the trinity is something we can fully comprehend but we can apprehend it from scripture.

THE DEITY consists of GOD, THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST THE SON, and THE HOLY GHOST - HOLY SPIRIT. THE DEITY was explained this way to me: your dad is separate from your mom and you. your mom is separate from your dad and you. you are separate from your dad and mom. yet all three of you are connected by family ties which can never be broken in any manner whatsoever. realize this explanation will not satisfy many but it works for me.

It means:
ONE GOD, eternal, holy, righteous, just, ...
ONE GOD Who has revealed that He eternally exists as three co-equal "Persons": Father, Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.

... that's not what i believe... God the father, Jesus the son and the Holy Ghost, a spirit, are very separate... they are one in purpose and not the same being.

I know it is hard to understand. God is the Father, Son and Holy spirit, just as He tells us to be baptized in that name. There are many scriptures pertaining to God being Jesus- and the Holy Spirit is Him-- for He is all Spirit.
Check out this website- It has many scripture references and explains it- I hope it helps! http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/jesusgd2.htm

In the book of John it says "God is in you and you are in God" Divinity, and Christians are made of the same "God stuff" as God.Separate,distinct personalities though they are . It's the holy spirit, the living waters,have a drink!
