haaay Malic...
Sige, ok, I'll level with you Malic.
First of all I'm not a Catholic. And whoever told you I'm Catholic?Tsk tsk... Mao na lagi na ba.
So I'm not a Catholic and so I don't believe in the Trinity doctrine. That doctrine states that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are one in purpose (they got it correct here) but also one in personage! (toink) God the Father is also Jesus Christ and also the Holy Ghost! So in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus Christ who was praying to his Father, asking Him for strength, was actually praying to himself because he is also the Father! This is very confusing. And as we all know this is another one of the Catholic church's 'MYSTERIES'.
I don't believe God intends himself to be mysterious to us. I believe He wants the opposite. He wants us to know Him and who He is. To fully love Him, we need to know Him first.
What I believe in and what I know to be true, is that God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are one in purpose (meaning they have one will and desire) but they are three separate personages. Meaning they are three different and separate persons. God the Father is not Jesus Christ nor is He the Holy Ghost. They each have their own identity. But they are one in purpose and desire and plan and etc...
That is very simple. As proof, remember Stephen when he was stoned to his death. Right before he died he saw God the Father and Jesus Christ appearing before him. He saw two personages. God the Father told him, pointing to Jesus Christ, this is my son. Also, when Jesus Christ was baptized by John the baptist, God the father (a voice was heard), the Holy Ghost (manifested in a form of a dove) and Jesus Christ manifested to the multitude present at that time. That was to show to the people that they were three separate personages but one in purpose.
