It is a belief found nowhere in the Bible. First found in Egyptian beliefs, it is 3 persons like conjoined triplets, having 3 different names but being the same single person.
Of course, it makes no sense which also proves it can't be from a logical and orderly God of the Bible.
Trinitarians have problems when at Jesus' baptism, Jesus came out of the water, holy spirit came down from heaven like a dove, and God spoke from heaven. If they were all three the same person, how were they in three different places? Also, who did Jesus pray to so many times? If it was to himself, they have an insane god on their hands.
What about Jesus' death? The main purpose in coming and enduring torture was his death serving as a ransom. Who resurrected him? Trinitarians try to explain it away as he wasn't really dead all the way. If he wasn't, that means his sacrifice was worthless and humankind is up the creek. If he was dead, who had the power to raise him from the dead? Certainly no lesser angels--not enough power.
Throughout the Bible, there are visions of God or God and Jesus in heaven. Trouble is, no reference to the holy spirit. Ziltch!
The truth is much less complicated.
There is one God who is Most High over all the earth. (Ps.83:18) The now second most powerful creature in the universe is Jesus who said in Matt. 10:8, "My Father is greater than I am."
The holy spirit is not a creature at all but is God's power so immense, it feels like someone. Continually it is spoken of as being poured out or given to people to accomplish what God desires. Have you ever noticed the richest guy in town, any town? Even when he is not somewhere in person, people consider how he would feel about their actions. He is consulted about major goings on in town. That is his power or his money's power at work.

It is the three components of god. the father, son and holy ghost or spirit as some say, you can think of it like an egg there is an egg shell an egg white and an egg yolk. without all three it isn't an egg. The trinity is god.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Without any of these figures christianity would cease to exist.
God, the Father, sent his Son, Jesus, to die for our "sins" and was resurected as the Holy Spirit.
Load of crap compiled by Constantine the Great.

It is a heathen blasphemy regarding the nature of the Almighty. Specifically, that there are three beings, but only one Almighty, (on the order of those puzzles that come apart.) Seriously, you have to ask a Catholic. It is their story, so get the details from them. The details are so stupid and blasphemous (and anti-Messiah) that I would not print them.

A pagan myth that the Catholics just couldn't seem to live without.
