Who is God, Jesus, the father or the holy spirit?

God is One. There is no other. The concept of the Trinity is really a method of thinking about God.

God is beyond the physical properties we can describe, and won't fit into any box you can try to assemble to define God, because God is before all logic, all reasoning, all thought.

Trinity is a really complicated and difficult idea. We can see this must have been so because even though the concept of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were around from the beginning, it took until 325AD for the Church to sit down and have it out and say, "This is what we THINK things are like." That was the Council of Nicaea, but the point I want to make is not whether or not you agree with them (I don't). My point is that it took all of this time -- three centuries!! -- before the Christian leaders finally were able to spell out what this Trinity thing actually was. Three centuries is a long time. Whatever else you can say, it's fairly obvious that defining the essence of the Trinity, for the Early Church was not a slam dunk! If it had been, they would have defined the Trinity a LOT earlier, but they did not.

The Trinity is not a way of dividing God. It is a way of discerning what aspect of God is active in a given situation. God the Father is the executive aspect, the overarching administrator of all.

God the Son, the second Person of the Trinity, yet all in all with the Fahter, not separate at all, is that aspect of God which walked among us and still has a part with us, having been as one of us.

The Spirit is that aspect of God which inspires us, which whispers in our soul of truths beyond our understanding or imagining.

I think the Church Fathers long ago realized that if you just try to speal of the immense God who actually does all of this, it would slowly drive you mad.

They conceptually broke God down as a means of more fully appreciating God, from our finite perspective.

You pray to God and you're fine. You pray to the Spirit, and you're fine. You pray to Jesus and you're fine. God isn't a picky listener.

We are the literal spirit children of God. We pray to our Father in Heaven in the name or authority of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God in the flesh into whose hands all power was given. Jesus created the earth and before he was born, was the God of the old testament. He worked out the atonement and we come unto the Father through Jesus. Jesus will be our judge. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit who testifies to our spirits of all that is good and right and true.

When Christianity left the teachings, beliefs and practices of Jesus for man-made doctrines they ended up in confusion, as you can see from the answers to the question. The trinity is confusing and "God is not the author of confusion" according to 1 Corinthians 14:33. So God is not the author of the trinity. It is a man-made doctrine. Jesus very clearly said in John 17:3 that the Father is "the ONLY true God". There isn't a single verse where Jesus said "I am God" or even "worship me" or any of their direct and unambiguous equivalents.

There is only One God, The Creator... God's Holy Spirit is that form God uses to interact with man-kind, and to indwell those of The True Church He commissioned(all those of The True Christian Faith)..... Jesus The Christ is The Son of God, conceived, and born, here on Earth

We pray to the Father. Our Father who art in heaven, but our prayers can't get to the Father if we don't have Christ. They're all 3 God but even Jesus said that the Father is higher than Him.

GOD is the one and only GOD! We also call GOD the Father. (Matthew 23:9 even requires us to never title anyone on earth with "father") GOD is also the English tittle of GOD's real name. (GOD's real name most do not use, so it would not be taken in vain as so many are doing with GOD's title.)

Jesus got to be the Christ because he is the only angel that has Never Sinned in Heaven! "Jesus" is the english translation of his Jewish name. "Christ" is the title for the job he did.

The Holy Ghost comes from Heaven also. He is a communication spirt/way to and with GOD!

20)giving thanks always and for everything to God the father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

9)Pray then like this:

"Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name.

10)Your kingdom come,your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.

11)Give us this day our daily bread,

12)and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13)And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.Amen

9)Jesus said to him,"Have I been with you so long,and you still do not know me,Philip?Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.How can you say,'Show us the father?

20)And we knows that the son of God has come and has given us understanding,so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true,in his son Jesus Christ.He is the true God and eternal life.

26)But the Helper,the Holy spirit,

someone asked Jesus how to pray:

(Matthew 6:9) “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.

(Colossians 1:15-21) 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on the torture stake, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens. 21 Indeed, you who were once alienated and enemies because . . .

God is the supreme being who created all things. Trinity is not required to explain who God is.

If you wish to ask how can we say the Father is God and the son is God and yet have one God, you must express it so. Misuse of the language of Trinity defeats its purpose of saying things that are true (and known from scripture) without implying things that are wrong.

I suspect you have a problem with Trinity and wish to misuse its vocabulary to prove your point. Don't do that so indirectly. Say what you claim and ask why or ask why not.

There's only one God. He shares all of the same names whether it's Jesus Christ, God, Lord, Jehova you name it. There is only one God, and when you pray you are praying to Jesus Christ.
