The Holy Trinity- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit- Is actually considered one God in three parts. Christians (and Jews) believe the God (Abrahamic God, the one in the Old Testament) is God, while Jesus is his only begotten Son, but still God in Human form. (Sort of like Thoth, the Egyptian god of Wisdom as an ibis, or an Ibis Headed man. ) Then God the Holy Spirit is God, but in Spiritual Form, kind of like a second Conscious. All Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is in them, and most believe that all people can have it, they just need to receive it spiritually

Answer:

The Trinity is a concept which is used to try to explain the nature of God revealed within the Bible. The concept is that there is one God, the Father, this both Muslims and (modern) Jews and other "Christian" groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses also hold to. The dividing line comes in the next person of the Trinity: From the Father comes the Son. The Son is the Logos (translated in many Bibles as Word) of God. Logos is the Greek word that the English word logic derives from. The third person of the Trinity is the Holy Spirit who comes from the Father through the Son.

If one likens the concept to speech, the Father is like the will, the son the wisdom/logic, and the Spirit the breath. The breath carries the will through logic.

However, they are persons not inanimate attributes.

The Trinity is three persons in one God. Not three gods. The persons of the Trinity are distinct, but are not separate.

Jesus is the Son in flesh, this is the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union, it is different from the Trinity, because the Trinity deals solely with the nature of God, where as Jesus is both fully God and fully man.

In Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity refers to the belief that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While this concept may seem like polytheism on the surface, it is not considered as such because these three persons are believed to be united in essence or substance, making them one God. It is a unique understanding of the unity of God in three distinct persons.
