When Christians speak of ‘God’, it is actually shorthand for the Holy Trinity. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. – God the Holy Trinity can be symbolized not as 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 but, rather, 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. God is one. God is three. Each of the three ‘Persons’ of the Trinity is fully God in and of themselves, and yet each of the three Persons of the Trinity is distinct from each other.
