    I assume you mean One God, Three Persons, and not 3 Persons in heaven as 3 Gods?

    Yes, One God, but within Him there are 3 separate Persons, as within the Godhead!

    This is not right. You cannot say "One God", and then within "Him", as this makes the "Godhead" into a Person, and we have FOUR PERSONS!. One God, as in the BEING (GODHEAD) and Three SEPARATE PERSONS

    Yes, I have posted to her about this, and said I would apologize here if she would tell us whether she believes in what we have discussed here, go what view does she have on the Trinity. No response yet

    Define the "Holy Trinity", since it seems as if "someone" has a patent or trademark on that term.

    One God? Yes

    God is THREE "Separate" Persons? No. God IS ONE God. Separate from Himself? No. A Person?
    No. A Spirit? Yes. Always with Himself even when in two separate places? Yes

    Yes

    THREE PERSONS, and ONE GOD?

    One God, who is revealed as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, called by numerous names/titles.

    JESUS was revealed on earth AS a Servant, sent from Heaven, in the likeness as a man.
    WHILE Jesus was on earth He was revealed, AS the Word of God.
    WHILE Jesus was on earth He was revealed, AS the CHRIST.
    WHILE Jesus was on earth He was revealed, AS the Savior.
    WHILE Jesus was on earth He was revealed, AS the POWER of God.

    JESUS revealed to His Disciples, seeing Him, was seeing the Father.
    JESUS revealed to His Disciples, knowing Him, is knowing the Father.

    Jesus revealed He and His Father are one.

    IOW ~ The Father, the Son, the Savior, the Word, the Power (Spirit) OF God IS God, called while He is on earth, "the Son of God, Christ the Lord Jesus".

    The father and son are one. John 10:30 I and my father are one.

    Yes, the Holy Scripture does teach what I have said.

    The Scripture has the written word for any and all to read.

    The Understanding is one of two things.....what an earthly man decides, or what is according to God.
    I appeal to God Himself for His Understanding, and TRUST what He teaches over what men teach.

    You have been taught and are pressing the terms "person" and "separate". I choose to rely on scripture.
    God is Spirit. Father and Son are impressed repeatedly in Scripture that they are not separate. And God does not have babies.

    Uh huh....and what do you think I have said that is not the same thing, (except I exclude the use of the terms "person" and "separate")?
