The Holy Trinity is the name we use to describe the one, true God, who has a triune nature consisting of three divine and distinct persons, who are eternally united, in a way we do not fully understand.
How this works is hard to explain using words, but it's very easy when you use mathematics:
1 X 1 X 1 = 1
See how simple that is?

Absolutely none. Jesus is the Father "incarnate" - in flesh! Whereas God, in the Old Testament, had been revealed through His spoken and written Word, God, in the New Testament, is revealed in flesh. Hebrews 1:1 says that He "spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets" but verse 2 says that "in these last days He hath spoken unto us by His Son" and verse 3 tells us that the Son is "the brightness of His glory, and the express image of his person." The Corinthian church was taught that Christ is "the image of God" (II Corinthian 4:4). The Colossian church was taught that the Son is "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). "It pleased the Father that in him (the Son) should all (the Father's) fullness dwell" (Colossians 1:19). That is why John said "the Word was made flesh." Jesus Christ is Jehovah Savior come in the flesh. In fact, the very meaning of the name "Jesus" is "Jehovah Savior." Jesus explained, "I am come in my Father's name" (John 5:43). Jesus is not a clone of God the Father. He is not a duplicate deity. He is not Jehovah, Jr.. He is not co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. He IS the Father (the eternal Spirit) manifest in the Son (the man)! Jesus, as a man, insisted that He was NOT equal with the Father when he said, "My Father is greater than I" in I John 14:28. That confirms the Father's oath in Isaiah 42:8b, "My Glory will I not give to another." Jesus Christ is not the second member of the Godhead. He is the man in whom the Father dwelt. This is what the oneness of God refers to. The Spirit (Father) in the Body (Christ). God the Father never invented or created a God the Son. The Son of God was "made of a woman," (Galatians 4:4), and was "conceived...of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 1:20). That shows the Holy Ghost is actually the Father, since John said the Son of Man is the "only begotten of the Father" (John 1:14). The human body of Jesus was not only conceived by his Holy Spirit Father, but was a visible shell which actually housed the Father. If God is a Trinity of three persons, and if Jesus is the fullness of God bodily, then there are three persons in the body of Jesus. But we know that is not the case. God is not three persons. He is ONE SPIRIT and that Spirit is the Father, and the FATHER is incarnate in the body of Jesus. The fullness of God is the Father. And HE is in the body of Jesus. "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself"(2 Corinthians 5:19). He was the fullness of God bodily. The Son is in perfect oneness with the Father by virtue of the incarnation. If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father. Otherwise, the Father is invisible. But in the flesh, you can see Him.

The trinity is the explanation of God as three persons-God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God in itself is still one being, but he exists in three persons. God the Father is the main one who created everything, including putting Jesus' duty as the Son of God into place. Because God is infinite, he can exist in this manner. You know, I thought I would be able to answer this question accurately and adequately.
God makes the Holy Spirit available to followers of Christ. We receive the Holy Spirit of God when God sees that we genuinely repent and put faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells in humans (God) and we are saved and can enter Heaven because of his grace. Of course, atheists will use that idea as an idea that is foreign or strange. Some people call God dwelling in people as weird or something that wouldn't want to do, "even if God exists" as they say. But I think that if the idea of having God, one who is all-powerful and allows people into Heaven, inside of us as armor, that's not bad at all.
Here's another concept atheists have a hard time grasping. We are all inherently bad, not inherently good. In fact, if there is any good in me, it is by the grace by God. The fact is we need to be saved because we have all committed sins. With the trinity, God has created a way that he can dwell in everyone who believes in him and repents of their sins.
Jesus Christ is God the Son, whom God the Father sent down from Heaven in the form of a baby. God has always existed; he just sent down the one person, one part of the trinity to save us from our sins. Only God could because he's the only one who can save his own creation from sin. Jesus has to be a part of God. Denying this is what leads to the cults of Jehovah's Witness and Mormonism. Jesus proclaims he is the only way to the Father, which is the only way to Heaven.
Don't deny this concept. God is one being, but you need to know that Jesus died for your sins, and that the Holy Spirit can live in you if you repent of your sins (you can because Jesus died for them). God loves you. Don't miss out on what He has done for you.

The word Trinity does not even exist in the Bible. It's not even mentioned.
Trinity is the Holy Ghost, Jesus, and Mary. It makes no sense whatsoever if Jesus said:
"Eli Eli Lama Subachtani!" on the cross, he said "Oh God Oh God why have you forsaken me?"
Would the the prophet of God say that to his own God?
If he was God why would he say he has forsaken himself?
If he died willingly for the sins of the people why would he say God had forsaken him?
If Jesus really did die willingly why did he nto go u to the governer and ask him to crucify him? Whyd id the governer have to run after him?

it is the father God, Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ the son in one, witch makes it individually God, or the Holy Spirit, or just Jesus Christ.
hope it was simple enough to understand.

I'll quote the catholic encyclopedia:
“The Trinitarian dogma is in the last analysis a late 4th-century invention. . . . The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century.”

It should be called the unholy trinity as it has no base in gods word the bible. False doctrine spread by false so called christian religions.

A marketing trick invented in the faurth century AD in order to try to impress the gullible and uneducated people. It does not make any sense, and to make it last, they tell you that if you don't believe in it, you are going straight to hell dear...
