They are all being one, but different forms of power!
God is a "shape-shifter"?
TRUE or FALSE?

Actually, yeah, TRUE, He's a shape-shifter. At least that's how I've always understood it.
I've always thought of God as a single being who has interacted with humanity in three different ways:
1) God the Creator (Father)
2) God the Example (Son)
3) God the Inspiration (Holy Spirit)
It's not that He's ever been three different beings, it's just that every time humans have come in contact with Him, our feeble human minds have tried to understand by assigning Him a new title based on the form He was using at the time.

kinda
shape shifter is such a fiendish sounding word
more like god exhists in many forms
he has always been here and he did create the world out of nothing
in the bible we know that Jesus, the son of God, and the christ, came to people in the old testemant as 'the angel of the Lord'...
visited many people including Joseph and Mary
we also know he was sent to earth as a child, and grew up as a man, however, Jesus still prayed to God while he was on earth suggesting seperate persons
we also know that God, not Jesus walked the earth before the fall of man
we know the holy spirt lives within all believers and it's what lives in our hearts and is what we want to shine through
we know Jesus died on the cross, and three days later rose from the dead to become the savior of the world and to eventually go and prepare a place for the Christians and return again
so yes, he comes in many forms... but as i said before, shape shifter is the wrong word... he exhists as all of these things simultaniously... and so therefore, never really shifts shapes... it even says in the Bible that God never changes, so he can't be a shapeshifter
ALSO the use of the word claim is ironic here because you use it as if God is real... yet you don't necissarily believe what he says...you also use the present tense form of the word...meaning that you believe hewas, and still is, alive and well... yet you meant to use to word claim to indicate scepticality(you even put it in quotations)... i just thought it was an odd diction choice and felt the need to comment on it (sorry)!!

False. These are just different yet simultaneous aspects of the same Being. Just as at the same time I can be an employee, a husband and a father. I am all of these at once, but yet to the different people in my life the different aspects stands out depending on what they need and who they are. I never stop being one for the other and neither does God. Though I must admit I need constant practice on being better at all three and finding the right balance at the right time (though that's another story altogether ;-) )

FALSE.
You almost got it.... well not really, but I can still tell you that anyway.
They are 3 seperate beings united in purpose. But what you are describing is some retarded thing that a lot of christians believe. It's really weird, I don't quite get it. If they are all the same thing, how can they ALL be there at the same place at the same time in 3 SEPERATE beings at Christ's baptism. It just doesn't make sense to me for some reason...

They are all seperate and serve different purposes. God = God supreme being. Jesus = God in the Human form.. Holy Spirit = Gods spirit living inside of us guiding us in the earthly life.They are all seperate but they are still all God

God is all-powerful.
It is hard for us to understand His infinate abilities.
If you read in Genesis 1:26,
it says "Let Us make man in Our Image, after Our likeness"
This refers to the Trinity.
They are all the same person. They were One in the creative work.

False but the concept of the Trinity has a fascinating History. I would suggest getting this book.

Your hypothese also proves that god can take maximum upto 3 shapes. Isn't it a limitation in god. However, best way to come out of this confusion is deny trinity.

False. The verbs used in Genesis 1 are plural.

no. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit don't to "change" or "morph" into one another. They are really three distinct persons who are equal. All three are one in substance,nature.
