Surely if not, there is no reason to have three seperate entities, but if they each have limits on what they can do, God is not omnipotent. How does that work then?

John 1:18
No man has seen God.
That takes Jesus and at his baptism the holy spirit that came down like a dove out of the equation. They are both God so cannot be seen.
The Bible doesn't support the trinity just the churches.
How can an all in one God be seperate 3 personalities that can become seperate entities and still be in 1 God?
Trinity never was a logical concept. The church relies on people accepting this on faith alone.
The term 'mystery' somehow exempts them having to acknowlege that it is all nonsense.

The trinity does not exist, it is a pagan teaching. It has no Biblical support whatsoever.
Jehovah is God.
Jesus is his SON.
The holy spirit is God's power, the most powerful force in the universe.
Not only that, it does not make any sense. You see how they cannot answer your question?
Sweet Suzy 777!!! needs to take up Physics101-
the three phases of water all existing at the temperature conditions of 273.16K does not make them ONE or EQUAL. They are in EQUILIBRIUM. That means the steam is not losing anymore heat, the liquid is not gaining or losing heat, the ice is not gaining heat.
They are still THREE, and not ONE. The steam is not the liquid or the ice, and vice-versa and vice-versa.
PROF F: I don't get. The image I have of that beloved person is stored in my brain. My brain is part of my body. So how does that go with the trinity? If as you describe it, the trinity is like a person's "mind, body and spirit", what happened to the trinity when Jesus died? If a person's mind (i.e the brain that processes thoughts) dies, the whole combination is gone. Did the whole trinity die?
As I said, it makes no sense.

There is only ONE God. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE...not 3. Our God is a jealous God, as the Bible says in the beginning of the Old Testament somewhere( I just read it the other day). Why would He want His people worshipping 3? I don't know why people use the word "trinity" because God is ONE!

This is a pretty deep question, and not one that can be explained away into perfectly logical terms... it is based in faith, which by definition cannot be 'seen'.
God the Father is the creator, author, the one Jesus returns to, and does not have any kind of recognizable form, as Jesus took on. No one has seen God the father directly - he is far too 'big', if you will, for that. He is the pure, uncreated essence.
God the Son is Jesus Christ, God incarnate, God made flesh... fully God and fully man. His purpose was/is to draw us back to his father, show us the way and empower us to take up our crosses (die to our selfish ways) and follow him. he placed himself down in a finite time and place and 'appeared to be limited', but he was there when the world was created.
God the Spirit is indeed a third 'entity', and is the power of God on earth now that Jesus has ascended. Sent by Jesus to earth, the Spirit is what draws us to even talk about spiritual things like this, and seek out the things of God. The Spirit is also what brings us back to God when we've sinned and helps us repent/turn around.
All three are eternal, have always existed together outside of the limits of time & space, and are the embodiment and model of love.

It doesnt work because it doesnt exist.
The trinity doctrine is not a Bible teaching.
It is a pagan belief that was fused in with apostate Chrisitianity in the fourth century CE.
The Bible teaches that there is one God and he is Almighty. His name is Jehovah.
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not God the Son.
The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is not a person but God's active force.What Jehovah uses to get things done.

Well, I guess you'll have to wait until you die. What is important is God has given you a revelation about himself in the form of Jesus. Whether God is limited or not isn't really important, what is important is Jesus died on a cross, he rose again on the third day, and now has all authority on heaven and earth (and yes, he has the power to enforce that authority too). Unfortunately, being God does entitle God to not have to tell us everything about himself and he doesn't have to make an excuse about it either. He's given us the Bible, so if he hasn't revealed something about himself in that then I guess it's because he doesn't want to.

Try this experiment. Close your eyes and draw in your mind the face of someone you love! Clearly draw the detail such as the eyes, the nose the lips and if possible event even the smell and the feeling of being close to the person. How do you feel?
Who is looking at your love one? Surely it is not your "seeing eyes" because they are closed.
Who is drawing the picture in your mind? Surely it's not your "hands."
Who is sensing the scent? Surely it's not your "nose" that smells it.
At this instance, your BODY (eyes, hands and nose) is functioning separately from your SPIRIT (that is looking at the picture) and the MIND (that is drawing the picture.)
You have just demonstrated the "Trinity" in your "being."
Take care.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit 3 in one.
Think of this: liquid, vapor, ice, 3 forms all water.
God is omnipotent.

God is Omnipotent Omnipresent. He is the Great I am. Actually it goes deeper than that but I don’t have the time or the space to tell you all.
