George, I agree with what you said about the Trinity, but let me add this. God is one entity, but he has three distinct personalities. These are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Your personality is who you are. That is why each is called God. The Father is the way God directs his affairs. Jesus spoke of this when he said that the Father sent him. The Holy Spirit is the way God inspires us to believe in what he is doing as Jesus. Jesus spoke of this when he said in John 16 that the Holy Spirit will tell us about him. But in all cases, Jesus is the personality through whom God speaks to us. What I mean is, there is only one God, not three separate Gods. This is the most fundamental belief of our religion. It is called monotheism, the belief in one God. But self identity or personality in another matter. You can have as many self identities or pesonalities as you like and still be one person. Such is our God. That is why he is a Trinity. Please respond!
