There are many belief groups that identify themselves as "Christian" and each has different beliefs about various subjects. This of course includes the trinity. Most mainline churches believe in the trinity, that is the concept there the Father is God, the Son is God, and the holy spirit is God, but that these three persons are not three Gods but one God. There are other Christians that do not believe this. The more important question is What Does the Bible Really Teach abouth the trinity? The most popular and commonly used Bible is the older KJV, so we will use that to determine what we can about this most important subject, because it is vital that we worship God in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) So let's consider the following facts about God: * Jesus was said to be the Son of the most high. (Luke 1:32) * Jehovah is the Most High. (Psalm 83:18) * Jesus always referred to God as some else other than himself. (John 17:3) * Many people saw Jesus; no one ever saw God and lived. (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 John 4:12) * God does not have a God, but Jesus does, even after he returned to heaven. In Revelation 3:12 he mentions "my God" 4 times. There are many other passages we could consider, but these few are enough to show that the trinity is not a Bible teaching. True, there are Scriptures that people believe support that doctrine, but when one does a careful study of the entire Bible, and the reasons some words and phrases are translated as they are and the meaning of the original texts, one sees that even those passages really do not support it. There is more information at the links below.
God is one God - three persons. I know it doesnt make much sense and Christians have been trying to understand it for decades. But basically, God is three persons - the Father (just God), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. It is quite hard to get your head around it but imagine that there is just one person. God is the head, Jesus is the legs and the Holy Spirit is the body. It is quite a crude example but those 3 work together.
