The Father is God's mind, the son is God's body and the holy spirit is God's soul. Mind, body and soul projected in different forms.

The Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit. He is the third Person of the Holy Trinity. He is also called the Sanctifyer. He is the Love between the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit abides in our souls. He inspires us when we do not know what to do. There are 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are 12 Fruits of the Holy Spirit. He is also God. He is equal to the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit came down to the apostles and Mary on Pentecost Day. When the apostles received the Holy Spirit, they were given the courage to preach the gospel. His seven gifts are the gifts of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, fortitude, piety, counsel and fear of the Lord. The 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit are joy, charity, modesty, goodness, etc.

What on the instant includes my concepts is that the daddy got here till now the Son. yet interior the trinity doctrine, the Son is as previous because of the fact the daddy. How then can the Son be a genuine Son to the daddy in the event that they're the two eternal or of a similar age? the daddy and Son, in accordance to the Bible, at the instant are not equivalent. As a guy, Jesus stated the daddy replaced into extra effective than he replaced into. (John 14:28) As a spirit individual, that score did no longer replace. As a million Cor. 11:3 says: "the top of the Christ is God." those no longer up on the trinity coaching will say that the daddy is God, the Son is God, and the holy spirit is is God. yet somewhat of being 3 Gods, there is in basic terms one God. Does the Bible say that? No. whether, the Catholic Athanasian Creed of the previous due 4th century CE does say that. partly, it states: "So the daddy is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not 3 Gods, yet One God." tens of millions of folk have been duped into thinking that the Bible teaches the trinity, whilst actual, they're putting their have confidence in an man made record that replaced into written up by skill of adult males inspired by skill of pagan thinking. Is Jesus a genuine Son of God? nicely, does a father provide existence to his offspring? particular. At John 6:57, Jesus attributed his existence to his Father, asserting: "I stay with the aid of daddy." The trinity can't be supported by skill of the Bible. ask your self: the place does the Bible say that the daddy, Son, and the holy spirit are co-equivalent, co-eternal, almighty, and that all of them make up one God? the respond: NOWHERE! As you're saying, there is not any such expression interior the Bible as God the Son. there is likewise no God the holy spirit the two. Such expressions at the instant are not something extra effective than trinitarian twists on the Bible. BTW, if Jesus is God, how does he have a God and Father? Col a million:3

I am telling you the truth... if you truly knew who the "father" and the "son" were then you would know "WHO" the holy Ghost is.
I can tell you this, it appears you still have not a single idea what any of them are...
I can also tell you this, that the Ghost is not a ghost like you think but a Ghost that does think!

The doctrine of the Trinity is the result of continuous exploration by the church of the biblical data, thrashed out in debate and treatises, eventually formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD in a way they believe is consistent with the biblical witness, and further refined in later councils and writings.
The Britannica Encyclopedia's Trinity article states: "Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4)."
It is an invention of early Christian church fathers, such as Tertullian.
The scriptural support for the doctrine is implicit at best.
The scripture contradicts the doctrine, such as when Jesus states that the Father is greater than he is.
It is paradoxical and therefore not in line with reason.
It reflects the influence of pagan religions, some of which have divine triads of their own.
It does not follow the strict monotheism found in Judaism and the Old Testament, of which Jesus claimed to have fulfilled.
The doctrine relies almost entirely on non-Biblical terminology.

Friend there is only ONE Spirit. God is a spirit, God is the creator, & then God enter into his son after Jesus Christ was baptized, & not before, Here is where many gets the Godhead mess up at. Jesus was not God, He was The only Begotten Son of God, God did not even dwell in Jesus until Jesus was 30 yrs. old. Think about it. Jesus is the one that died, not God, So now we have God in his Son as the redeemer recogconsiling the world back unto himself, then we have God in his 3rd Office work as the comforter, & what we call the Holy Ghost. It is all One spirit only in 3 different offices or demonstration of the Spirit of God. Example, I am a husband, & a son, & a grandfather, But I am not 3 different spirits, only One fulilling all 3 offices, The same is with God, We have God the creator, God in his Son, God as the Holy Ghost, Remember God & Holy Ghost is a spirit, & there is only ONE SPIRIT.

The Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God as he is sometimes referred to in the Bible. He is God's witnessed of Jesus Christ to humanity. Without the Holy Spirit we would not know Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts the sinner and leads him/her to Christ for salvation. The Holy Spirit along with the Father and the Son comprise who we call God. All members of the Trinity always agree as one and therefore are co-equal. They NEVER disagree and therefore are inseparable. They are distinct persons because each has a distinct purpose, but each always agrees on one another's purpose and actions.

The theological answer is that the Father sees Himself in all His perfections so perfectly that that seeing becomes a Person in His own right. We call Him the Son. Father and Son see each other in all their perfections and the love between them is so perfect that it becomes a Person in its own right and that is the third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit.
The Father creates, the Son redeems and the Spirit sustains.

Father, Son and Holy spirit consitutes the trinity....They are one in a sense.
Holy spirit or holy ghost is there to guide us....the scripture says.... No one can say jesus is lord without being tempted by Holy Spirit. Hes like a firewall in our life Telling us what is good and whats wrong.., in 1corinthians chapter 11 and 12....Paul talks about the gifts of holy spirit.
And most of all, it is given free to all who believe in Jesus Christ. And in each person, it expresses in different manner according to their faith.
faith, hope and love are Fruits of spirit, these are different from the gifts.
Yea, I know, its incomplete...sorry....I wanted to tell you more, even though I have been a christian for life, I have just started loving god and reading scriptures....God bless you
