The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most difficult ideas in Christianity, but its fundamental to Christians faith because it states what Christians believe, God is like and who He is plays a central part in Christians worship of an unobjectionable and incomprehensible God. This emphasizes reveals that God is very different from human beings, it reflects the ways Christians believe God encounters them and is a central element of Christian identity: Teaching Christians vital truths about relationship and community reveals that God can be seen only as a spiritual experience whose mystery inspires awe and cannot be understood logically Unpacking the doctrine The idea that there is One God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit means: There is exactly one God The Father is God The Son is God The Holy Spirit is God The Father is not the Son The Son is not the Holy Spirit The Father is not the Holy Spirit An alternate way of explaining it is: There is exactly one God There are three really distinct Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Each of the Persons is God Common mistakes Three individuals who together make one God Three Gods joined together Three properties of God...NO, GOD is exactly one God
