In order to understand the Trinity, it is important to understand what it is not. The Trinity does not deal with the relationship between humanity and God in Jesus. If you are interested in knowing why Christians consider Jesus to be (in some sense) God, please see the page on the Incarnation. Many (perhaps most) criticisms of the Trinity really involve issues that the Incarnation deals with.
Historically, the Trinity came before the Incarnation. It was originally an attempt to deal with a group of people who saw Jesus as a supernatural entity somewhere above a human being but below God. At the council of Nicea, it was decided that this was wrong. In response, Nicea formulated a concept that has come to be called the Trinity.

This is a great explanation of this doctrine---
"Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity." [Robert G. Ingersoll]
What a "ball of confusion" Would God make himself confusing or a mystery to his creation? No, he wouldn't
1 Corinthians 14:33--"for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."

The BIble teaches that there's only one God, but there are THREE personalities who compose this one God. They are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. No God will be formed in the absence of any of them. This teaching is called the TRINITY doctrine.
We on the other hand uphold the doctrine of the TRINITY (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost), no MORE, and no LESS. We repeat, we don't teach that there are three Gods. We only believe that there are three personalities who compose this One God.
John recorded the truths of the TRINITY in 1 John 5:7 (King James Version 1611) where it says: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one."
The Word mean JESUS CHRIST (John 1:1; 14)
This verse shows that we shall see three personalities in heaven. And although each maintains a separated entity, yet they are united in the Godhead. Three in one. Three in unity. and to shorten it, TRINITY.
What does it mean when we say "THREE in one" ? For clarification, we shall turn to John 10:30 where Jesus was talking to the unbelieving Jews. He told them: "I and my Father are One." The Jews were enraged when they heard this statement. According to verse 31, they took each one of them rocks to stone Jesus the Lord.
How did the Lord reach? He asked them why were they stoning him according to verse 32. And they charged him with BLASPHEMY. v.33.
The reason was because they saw Him only as an ordinary man, yet he made calim that He was also God and on the same plane as the Father.
When Jesus said, "I and my Father are one", he did not mean that He was also the Father, or that the Father was Jesus too.
No! Their personal distinction changed not a bit. The Father was still the Father, Jesus was still Jesus, and the Holy Ghost was still the Holy Ghost.

The Blessed Trinity is God the farther,God the son, God the Holyspirit
The Trinity is a mystery of faith in the strict sense, one of the "mysteries that are hidden in God, which can never be known unless they are revealed by God". To be sure, God has left traces of his Trinitarian being in his work of creation and in his Revelation throughout the Old Testament. But his inmost Being as Holy Trinity is a mystery that is inaccessible to reason alone or even to Israel's faith before the Incarnation of God's Son and the sending of the Holy Spirit.
"It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds." The divine Unity is Triune.

"Trinity" is a theological term, first used about 200 years after the time of Christ, to describe the belief that God manifest himself as three different "persons".
Justin Martyr, an early church theologian, was the first (we know of) to use the word. He also coined the phrases "Old Testament" and "New Testament". It was original a latin word that meant three ("tri") are one ("unity") = trinity.
In the book of Genesis God created man with thre parts. He formed a 1) body, breathed into it a 2) spirit and it bacame a living 3) soul. See Genesis 2:7. Three different "person" that make up one man. Each touching a different realm and operating with a different function. The body touches the physical realm. The soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions, which work in the mental realm. The spirit communicates in the spiritual realm with God Himself. Each is just as much "you" as any of the others.
So it is with God (in whoms image we are made). In operates in all three realms also. In the heavenly/spiritual realm he is called God the Father. When appeared in the physical realm, he was known as God the Son, Jesus Christ. He dwells within the hearts of men as God the Holy Spirit.
Each is just as much "God" as any of the others. They just appear in different realms with different function. Three "persons" forming one God.

The Trinity means the Father Son and the Holy Ghost, this is mentioned alot in the bible and by people that believe God is a three-fold and three people(the father son and holy ghost. But this is not true in order to know this you must look at Acts 2:38 "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." In this scripture you see that it says in the NAME of JESUS... In Matthew 28:19 ("Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost")
IT SAYS IN THE NAME of the father, son, and holy ghost---now the NAME of the father son and holy ghost is NOT father son and holy ghost (just like my dads name is not dad or father, because thats just a title, his name is Tim--but he has many titles-father dad brother son)
I PRAY this helps you out.....
GOD BLESS YOU
