3 personalities in 1 God.

When explaining his belief in the trinity to me, a baptist friend of mine that is taking classes at a local bible college explained the trinity as being 3 personalities in 1 God. I thought you all might find that interesting. I would imagine that he got this explanation from one of his professors, but I can't be certain. Either way, I thought it was interesting.

Seems like most of us whether we consider ourselves oneness or trinity pretty much believe the same when it comes to what we call the "Godhead."

God is three and He is one.

When we go beyond that and try to explain or understand it, we get into trouble.

Re: 3 personalities in 1 God.

The difference between personalities and manifestations in my mind is that one implies independent behaviour from each "person", while the other doesn't necessarily.

Is a personality different than a person?

God does not suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder.

One Spirit manifest Himself in One Person.
