The trinity is based, not on the Bible, but on the Athanasian Creed. In part, it says: "So there is One Father, not Three Fathers; one Son, not Three Sons; One Holy Ghost, not Three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore or after Other, None is greater or less than Another, but the whole Three Persons are Co-eternal together, and Co-equal."
Are there ANY scriptures in the Bible that say God is made up of 3 coequal, co-eternal persons? No! The trinity contradicts the Bible in so many ways. For instance:
The trinity says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are all God. BUT the Bible says at John 17:3 that the Father is the ONLY true God.
The trinity says that Jesus and his Father are equal. BUT Jesus says at John 14:28: "The Father is greater than I am.?
Trinity believers feel that God came to earth. BUT the Bible clearly says it was God's SON who really came to earth.
Trinity believers feel that Jesus should be worshiped. BUT Jesus said at Luke 4:8 that his Father should receive the worship.
The trinity says Jesus is God. BUT the Bible says that Jesus is God's Son. John 10:36.
The trinity "proof" verse is John 1:1. Are there three co-equal persons mentioned there? Count them. The Word (Jesus) and God the Father). How many is that? TWO. Let's try something different. The Word and God (Father, Son, and holy spirit). How many is that? FOUR! No matter how you figure it, you will not get THREE, the required number of persons to make a trinity.
The trinity is a false doctrine.

Father, son and Holy Spirit = God. These are three aspects of God, but only one God.

The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the "consubstantial Trinity."83 The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: "The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e., by nature one God."84 In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215): "Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature."85
254
The divine persons are really distinct from one another. "God is one but not solitary."86 "Father," "Son," "Holy Spirit" are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: "He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son."87 They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: "It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds."88 The divine Unity is Triune.
255
The divine persons are relative to one another. Because it does not divide the divine unity, the real distinction of the persons from one another resides solely in the relationships which relate them to one another: "In the relational names of the persons the Father is related to the Son, the Son to the Father, and the Holy Spirit to both. While they are called three persons in view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance."89 Indeed "everything (in them) is one where there is no opposition of relationship."90 "Because of that unity the Father is wholly in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Son."91
Grace and Peace!

The catholic doctrine of the trinity (also adopted by many protestant churches) is that the three parts of God constitute one God. By way of analogy, water might be steam, or ice, or liquid, but it is still dihydrogen oxide.
In Genesis, God says, "let us make man in our image." There are also many different names for God, depending upon which attribute an author wished to highlight. El Elohim, El Shaddai, Adonai, Jehova, etc.

No the trinity is a discription of the God-head. One what and 3 whos. One God revealed in three persons that are eternally distinct. See the Athanasian Creed.
Whoever wills to be in a state of salvation, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic [apostolic/universal] faith, which except everyone shall have kept whole and undefiled without doubt he will perish eternally.
Now the catholic faith is that we worship One God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is One, the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit; the Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated; the father infinite, the Son infinite, and the Holy Spirit infinite; the Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet not three eternals but one eternal, as also not three infinites, nor three uncreated, but one uncreated, and one infinite. So, likewise, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy Spirit almighty; and yet not three almighties but one almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son God, and the Holy Spirit God; and yet not three Gods but one God. So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord; and yet not three Lords but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person by Himself to be both God and Lord; so are we forbidden by the catholic religion to say, there be three Gods or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone, nod made nor created but begotten. The Holy Spirit is of the Father and the Son, not made nor created nor begotten but proceeding. So there is one Father not three Fathers, one Son not three Sons, and Holy Spirit not three Holy Spirits. And in this Trinity there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less, but the whole three Persons are coeternal together and coequal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the trinity in Unity and the Unity in Trinity is to be worshipped. He therefore who wills to be in a state of salvation, let him think thus of the Trinity.
But it is necessary to eternal salvation that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The right faith therefore is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man.
He is God of the substance of the Father begotten before the worlds, and He is man of the substance of His mother born in the world; perfect God, perfect man subsisting of a reasoning soul and human flesh; equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, inferior to the Father as touching His Manhood.
Who although He be God and Man yet He is not two but one Christ; one however not by conversion of the GodHead in the flesh, but by taking of the Manhood in God; one altogether not by confusion of substance but by unity of Person. For as the reasoning soul and flesh is one man, so God and Man is one Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life eternal, and they who indeed have done evil into eternal fire.
This is the catholic faith, which except a man shall have believed faithfully and firmly he cannot be in a state of salvation.

once you photograph God and Jesus do you photograph them the comparable guy or woman or separate people? It relies upon on what you suspect. i think that God the daddy actually sent his Son Jesus Christ to Earth to make amends for the sins of all mankind. And that we are each and all of the youngsters of our Father in Heaven, which in a feeling makes us all Bro. and Sisters. i think that our Heavenly Father is a loving, being concerned, compassionate, and affected person father who longs for us to stick to the occasion His Son set whilst on earth. What is clever to you?

No, God is one, but in three persons, the three are all one.
