everybody is confused on the personality of God. the mystery of being one God in Three Persons - The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are all equal of being one God but the Son and The Holy Spirit choose to submit themselves under the power of the Father. The Bible does not tells us too much about it but it gives us perception about Gods true personality. Until now, im still quite confused about Him of Being tri-united but i believe He truly is. Do you believe in Gods Mystery?

Mar, the three persons in one God is a mystery, but it is not confusing at all. You are looking at it like arithmetic, wherein 1, 2, 3 or numbers are exact. So you ask how 3 persons could be 1? In the process, if you force yourself to believe in the Trinity, you defy your mathematics, which, by man's knowledge, is tested, measured, and proven true.
So, if man's validation of numbers is correct, how could three persons be one? In the Bible, God is presented to us in the stories of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, and so on, and the concept of God as Supreme Being is easy to believe, down to Joseph, the carpenter who foster fathered Jesus, God's beloved Son. Here we see a Man Who is God, for there could only be one Supreme Being to rule us all. God made Himself concrete, tangible, and dwelt amongst us in the person of Jesus. Can that be possible? Of course! Nothing is impossible to God. He can do anything. But man is terminal, so Jesus had to die. So God sent His Holy Spirit to be with us.
Simply, God can do whatever He likes.

Please stop, you are confusing me. Why bring Joseph into this, as the story goes
the Holy ghost the third part of the trinity covered Mary and since the second part Jesus and the First part God is one with the Holy Ghost then the Trinity is guilty of
Fathering Himself.
What I find hard to believe is how could a old married man who fathered two children with his wife could marry a very young virgin and didn't touch her. Please note nothing is said about his family, maybe polygamy wasn't a problem.
Can you imagine Joseph mouth dripping water just looking at Mary.
Come on, nothing adds up right here. 1 + 1 + 1 = 1
I think Mary lied about a Ghost interfered with her. If your Daughter came home
pregnant and told you a ghost did it, would you believe her? Be honest to your self.

Hi! I believe in the trinity. What I understood about it is God has three persona but they are one, the father,son,holy ghost.The father is God, Jesus, was the one sent here to die for us and he became human, and the holy spirit is the one which Jesus left after he ascended to heaven to guide us and be with us.

You won't find the doctrine mentioned anywhere in the Bible. The main reference to the three 'persons' is in Matthew 28: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." This does NOT imply that the three are 'one thing', in fact, because it says 'and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit' it tends to imply the exact opposite - that there are three separate things to be named.
However, if the problem troubles you, think of yourself (or any person). You have a physical being, are part of a family and have a soul. They are indivisible and you can't have one without the other two.

The word "Trinity" is indeed not in the Bible, but the fact of there being three persons, each of whom is God and each combination of them is also God. The confusing bit is our innate assumption that "God"="person", whereas (the one) "God"="person"OR"persons". The first thing about God is that He is the right and only right object of worship. So you cannot truly worship any member of the Trinity without simultaneously worshipping the others. If you "worship" Jesus Christ without worshipping the Father and the Holy Spirit, you are not truly worshipping Jesus Christ ... etc! There are other things about God, e.g., His unity of purpose, His unity of action, His unity of nature, but they do not include being exclusively one person. I don't think the doctrine is THAT mysterious. The relationship of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility - now that IS mysterious!
