"The Lord our God is one Lord." This means that we must never set up a mental image of God as 3 separate beings and call each one God. This is something the pagans do. They have many gods, all separate from each other. And if it is wrong for them, then it is doubly wrong for God's people. It is even more wrong because this verse says that we should know better.
What I am saying is, if you think you have 2 or more gods, then you do. That is pure paganism at its best. And something that is an abomination to God.
It is pure paganism because it comes from the mind of Satan, and not from God. God's thoughts for us is this, there is only one God. And we are to love him only.
Let's say it plainly: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all the same God. These 3 persons are distinct in their ***ignments, but still the same substance or entity. This is what it means by "Let us make man. ..."
Jesus, the Son, then, is the distinct way or personality through whom God visited us in the Old and New Testament. And the way he died on the cross.
