I believe that God the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost ARE three distinct beings.. but Jesus and the Holy Ghost have turned over their will to God and so they have the same purpose...
I do not believe that the Bible says there is only one God.. otherwise why would God the Father want us to put no other Gods before Him?...
We will ALL know what is true in the Resurrection.

Jesus have uttered those word to God to let the unbelievers know that there is God who to ask help but He know those things will happen to him as man because it was prophesized by the prophecy that it is to be done to him as man and before the incident He told to his desciples that those will be happened to him.
Have you been living before or at that time that you are ascertaining and telling that the New Testament is a historical account regfarding Jesus and that it was writen by so many different people. Have you seen them writting it ans have you seen when they are translating the bible? Will you answer in a correct way of answering it? You comments came from your mind alone and you have no bais in commenting it so it is false comment.OK?
Do you mean to say I will put my trust upon you and do not trust the book which is the bible? No way.
Be honest to yourself. You can not be trusted by the Christians for telling false report and comments. Report me again for telling your comments as false report or false comment. and telling you that you can not be trusted upon.

You obviously do not understand the concept of a 3 in one Godhead. And your comments about the books of the Bible being written by someone who did not know Jesus etc. is also false. Yes, some books were written later, but the gospels were written by people who walked with Jesus before his death and after his resurrection. In otherwords, first person accounts.

There is no confusion for me.
The Father
The Son
And the Holy Spirit are one....God.
In Genesis 1:1 it says in the beginning was the Word. The Word is God.
In John :1-1 it says
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. (Jesus)
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Seek knowledge
The Trinity is WHO GOD IS, it's What He is.
The Athanasian Creed states,
Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith. For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever. This is what the catholic faith teaches: we worship one God in the Trinity and the 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 Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one divinity, equal glory, and coeternal majesty. What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Spirit is.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated. The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Spirit is boundless. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal.
Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being. So there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being. Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent.
Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being. Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
However, there are not three gods, but one God. The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord. However, there are not three lords, but one Lord. For as we are obliged by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person singly to be God and Lord, so too are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords.
The Father was not made, nor created, nor generated by anyone. The Son is not made, nor created, but begotten by the Father alone. The Holy Spirit is not made, nor created, nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits. In this Trinity, there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less. The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another. So that in all things, as is has been said above, the Unity is to be worshiped in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity.
He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must believe thus about the Trinity. It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man. As God, He was begotten of the substance of the Father before time; as man, He was born in time of the substance of His Mother. He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh. He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but inferior to the Father in His humanity. Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ. And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed unto God. He is one, not by a mingling of substances, but by unity of person. As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ. He died for our salvation, descended into Hell, and rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended into Heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds. Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved. Amen.

I love to hear Christians explain this one. What they seem to forget, according to their Bible, is this:
If they are truly one and the same, then God made himself be born to a virgin, prayed to himself and then resurrected himself after he allowed himself to be killed.
If they are NOT all-in-one, then their belief is "possible".
Throughout the Bible, Jesus prays to and references his "Father". Why would someone call themselves "Father"? Praying shows a dependency, asking something from a higher power. If God and Jesus are one in the same, why would one pray to them self?
I have never been able to rationalize this into anything BUT polytheism, but then again, I haven't been blessed with the blind faith so many others possess.

My church which I proudly serve have in our statement of faith that we believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We believe Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary for the purpose of taking away the sins of the world. Yes we are all sinners but because of the GRACE of God we have been given a chance to change from our wicked ways and serve God in all things we do and to do so with gladness.

Jesus had a tough time inclined to take the wrath of God on himself, understanding that God could flip His again on him in order that this could be performed.Jesus Christ was once being subjected to the puishment from God considering He was once procuring the penalty of ALL the ones peoples sins that he stored via affliction the dying for them. "For the wages of sin is dying, however the reward of God is everlasting existence via Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

Thanks for your input but I'd rather put my trust in God and not you. God is 3 Divine Persons. God is ineffable. There is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In God we find the Father (our Creator), the Son (our Saviour) and the Holy Spirit (our Advocate).

On the nose
God's Spirit (Holy Spirit) had to leave Jesus's body or his body would not die.
Simple.
He sense this and cried out - this is not feeling "apostate" it is My God My God. Why has thou forsaken me.
He also asked for the cup to pass away from him.
He knew why and felt death. interesting ??
