By definition it appears confusing who is:
1) the father and
2) the son
What exactly is the holy spirit?
Is Jesus part of the notion of god?
I am not religoius but seeking basic explanations to the above. Any help would be appreciated.

First, Do the authors of the oldest written sources about Jesus in the new testament indicate Jesus is God? and If these authors do indicate this, were they right?
Be on guard against Satan and his seductive teachings through his False Apostles and Deceitful Workers.
These False Apostles and Deceitful Workers did not see God as a single undifferentiated being but the God who revealed Himself as three persons.
How many gods does God say there are? Scriptures that show there is only one God.
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." Isa 46:9
God is not shy to say "I am God" and if Jesus is God, then how come Jesus never said it once like the God of the Old Testament? Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.”
If Trinity God is true then we have a God who is a very deceptive and disingenuous God.
Three person God is an extremely disingenuous God who misled His own people into believing He was one person when He never was.
Three person God is an extremely disingenuous God who misled His own people into believing He was one person when He never was.
It is written, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord thy God is one Lord." Deuteronomy 6:4
A 3 person god was not the God of the Israelites nor was a 3 person being the God of Jesus Christ.
Neither the Jews and Jesus, knew nothing about serving a 3 person God.
The Israelite God was a one God. Jesus is an Israelite, also served a one God, his father.
YAHWEH identifies Himself in singular person terminology and as the Father of His Chosen People.
Christianity as the true heir of Judaism and as a truly monotheistic belief.

The trinity was made up at the Nicea Council. This was 300 years after Jesus. It is something the church made up as the revamped Christianity. Look it up-the things they decided on.
They say Jesus is part of the notion of G-d. And, the holy spirit is the feeling of G-d in and around you. But, there is not G-d but G-d, and Jesus was just a man.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.
Legend says that Saint Patrick used a three leaf clover to help explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish.
How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries.
There is a story told about St Augustine:
Augustine was walking along the seashore trying to figure out the mystery of the Holy Trinity and came up to a little boy. The boy was trying to pour the ocean into a hole in the sand with a seashell. Augustine told the boy what he was doing was impossible. Then the little boy told Augustine that it is also impossible for the mind of man to try to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The little boy turned into an angel and disappeared.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and Episcopalians.
With love in Christ.

Try this on for size. The three persons of the Godhead (trinity to some people) are all offices of the identity of God, reconciling flesh (Jesus Christ) and spirit (God the Father and the Holy Ghost). The best way to understand the titles and offices is to look at an average man; let's call him David. David is a SON, having been born like all other mortal men. He's a FATHER, if he's procreated (as God the Father did through the Virgin Birth), and he's a lover to his wife (as the Holy Ghost is one of the conduits through which God shows His love for us and through which we express our love for our fellow man), but ONE THING about him applies to ALL these offices. HIS NAME! You wouldn't walk into a crowded room where David was standing and call out "Father" in an effort to get his attention, even though he might recognize your voice, it's not the NAME he goes by. You wouldn't call him "Son", for every mortal man in that room is a son! Nor would you call him "lover", for all the married Christian men in that room would be lovers to their wives! You would call out "David" in order to get his attention and communicate with him! We communicate with God the Father and the Holy Ghost through the personage of JESUS CHRIST that is supposed to reside in each of us.

Jehovah God is the Father and the most high over all the earth. (Psalm 83:18)
Jesus Christ is the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15, 16) and all things were created through him and for him.
holy spirit is God's active force and the means he uses to create, to reveal himself, to accomplish his purposes.
The trinity is a lie.

Why would you want to believe something that isn't even in the Holy Bible but rather is a man-made doctrine that originates back to the forth century and has its roots in Greek philosophy?!!!!
