The doctrine of the Trinity -- that God the Father , God the Son , God the Holy Spirit are each equally and eternally the one true God -- is admittedly difficult to comprehend , and yet is the very foundation of Christian Truth . Although skeptics may ridicule it as a mathematical impossibility , it is nevertheless a basic doctrine of Scripture as well as profoundly realistic in both universal experience and in the scientific understanding of the cosmos.. Both Old and New Testaments teach the Unity and the Trinity of the Godhead , The idea that there is only one God , who created all things , is repeatedly emphasized in such Scriptures as Isaiah 45 :18 ::; " For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens ; ... I am the Lord himself that formed the earth and made it ; I am the Lord ; there is none else " ..... A New Testament example is James 2 : 19 : " Thou believest that there is one God ; thou doest well ; the devils also believe , and tremble ".. The three persons of the Godhead are , at the same time , noted in such Scriptures as Isaiah 48 : 16 : " I have not spoken in secret from the beginning ; From the time that it was , there am I ; and now the Lord God , and His Spirit , hath sent me ". The speaker in this verse is obviously God , and yet He says He has been sent both by The Lord God ( that is , the Father ) and by His Spirit ( that is , the Holy Spirit ) . The New Testament doctrine ot the Trinity is evident in such a verse as John 15 : 16 , where the Lord Jesus said : " But when the Comforter is come whom I will send unto you from the Father , He shall testify of me " ... Then there is the baptizing formula : " baptizing them in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Ghost " ( Matthew 28 : 19 ).. One name ( God ) -- yet three names ! Jesus -- That Jesus , as the only - begotten Son of God , actually claimed to be God , equal with the Father , is clear from numerous Scriptures , For example , He said : " I am Alpha and Omega , the beginning and the ending saith the Lord , which is , and which was , and which is to come , the Almighty " ( Revalation 1 : 8 ) .. Holy Spirit --- Some cults falsely teach that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal divine influence of some kind , but the Bible teaches that He is a real person , just as are the Father and the Son . Jesus said : " Howbeit " when he , the Spirit of truth , is come , he will guild you into all truth : for he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever he shall hear , that shall he speak ; and he will show you things to come " . ( John 16 : 13 ).......Tri-Unity -- The teaching of the Bible concerning the Trinity might be summarized thus . God is a Tri-Unity , with each person of the Godhead equally and fully and eternally God . Each is necessary , and each is distinct , and yet all are one . The three Persons appear in a logical , casual order . The Father is the unseen, omnipresent Source of all being , revealed in and by the Son , experienced in and by the Holy Spirit . The Son proceeds from the Father , and the Spirit from the Son . With reference to God`s creation , the Father is the Thought behind it , the Son is the Word calling it forth , and the Spirit is the Deed making it a reality. We " see " God and His great salvation in the Son of God , the Lord Jesus Christ , then " experience " their reality by faith , through the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit .. Though these relationships seem paradoxical , and to some completely impossible , they are profoundly realistic , and their truth is ingrained deep in man`s nature . Thus , men have always sensed first the truth that God must be " out there " , everywhere present and the First Cause of all things , but they have corrupted this intuitive knowledge of the Father into pantheism and ultimately into naturalism . .. Similarly , men have always felt the need to " see " God in terms of their own experience and understanding , but this knowledge that God must reveal Himself has been distored into polytheism and idolatry , Men have thus continually erected " models " of God , sometimes in the form of graven images , sometimes even in the form of philosophical systems purporting to represent ultimate reality.... Finally men have always known that they should be able to have " communion " with their Creator and to experience His presence " within ".But this deep intuition of the Holy Spirit has been corrupted into various forms of false mysticism and fanaticism , and even into spiritism and demonism. Thus the truth of God`s tri-unity is ingrained in man`s very nature , but he has often distorted it and substituted a false god in its place !!

Within Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a perichoresis of three persons (hypostases, personae): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete or advocate). Since the 4th Century, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "One God in Three Persons," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal "persons" or "hypostases," are a single Divine essence, or being. Supporting the doctrine of the Trinity is known as Trinitarianism. The majority of Christians are trinitarians and regard belief in the trinity as a test of orthodoxy. Other nontrinitarin positions include Binitarianism (two deities/persons/aspects), Unitarianism (one deity/person/aspect), the Godhead (Mormonism) (three separate beings) and Modalism (Oneness) which are held by some Christian groups.

"Trinity" is a term that is not found in the Bible but a word used to describe what is apparent about God in the Scriptures. The Bible clearly speaks of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit...and also clearly presents that there is only one God. Thus the term: "Tri" meaning three, and "Unity" meaning one, Tri+Unity = Trinity. It is a way of acknowledging what the Bible reveals to us about God, that God is yet three "Persons" who have the same essence of deity.Some have tried to give human illustrations for the Trinity, such as H2O being water, ice and steam (all different forms, but all are H2O). God the Son (Jesus) is fully, completely God. God the Father is fully, completely God. And God the Holy Spirit is fully, completely God. Yet there is only one God. In our world, with our limited human experience, it's tough to understand the Trinity. But from the beginning we see God this way in Scripture. Notice the plural pronouns "us" and "our" in Genesis 1:26 -- Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Jesus said: "I and the Father are one." (John 10:30)
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father." (John 14:9)
"He who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me." (John 12:45)

Christians say it is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
But, this is not true. This was made up at the Nicene Council. 300 years after Jesus.
There is no G-d but G-d. G-d is One.

It means that you took the Home Run title, led the league in RBIs, and also in Batting Average. Willie Mays did it once, and I think that Ted Williams did as well. Right? Or Yazstremski?
