Well, it used to be quite difficult for me to understand abot the Holy Trinity. The only explanation I used to hear is that it is a mystery. Untill, lately someone told me that it can be compared to something as simple as water.
Water (liquid) - God the father
Water (ice) - God the son
Water (vapour) - God the Spirit.
Same God but differntly manifested with different properties. Same yet different. This is the best possible explanation I can think of of when it come sto the Holy Trinity.

Thanks for your comments. The water illustration is a good way to explain the Holy Trinity.

The way I have done it in the past was using an egg as a visual. There are three parts to an egg, shell, white and yoke. Three seperate parts, but one whole eggs. The holy Trinity is the Father, SOn and Holy Ghost, but one whole God.

Hi Friend,
As far as my understanding is concerned, Holy trinity is a single God with three ways of doing things.
The Abba Father - The creator and the decision maker.
Jesus Christ - The saviour and the Lord who deliver the man from sin and makes to stand that person righteous before the Abba Father.
Holy Spirit - The leader and the comforter who replaces Jesus Christ in this earth now.
Let me know if you know anything more than this... Cheers..
God bless you...

I agree with your understanding of the Holy Trinity. My pastor explains the concept of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit being one God in three persons using the illustration of water: that it can be liquid, ice or steam. It's kind of a simple way of explaining something that's hard for our finite minds to grasp.
