Can one person be two?

I thought they were the same when I was a kid, because I thought they did the same thing.

But I do believe they are two different people. The above advice is better than mine =P

Christian theology recognizes three separate aspects, or faces, of God: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. “Trinity” is the word used to refer to these three aspects of God collectively. Strictly speaking, it is a theological term and not found in the Bible; however, the concept of the Trinity is found in the Bible. The clearest example can be seen at Jesus’ baptism (Matt. 4:16), where we see God the Son standing in the river Jordan, the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove, and God the Father speaking from Heaven.

It’s important to emphasize that this concept does NOT indicate three separate Gods, but rather three aspects of the one God. Many metaphors have been used to illustrate this idea (I.e., three different pages of the same book), but they are only loose approximations. In the end, we need to recognize that the Trinity is a mystery, something that is not fully understood and perhaps impossible for the human mind to completely grasp

“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:5-7)

Notice at the end of this passage of Scripture that “the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” is listed. This is the Trinity. One might ask, “Who or what is the “Word”? The term “Word” when translated from the Greek means the very essence, the very being thereof. John who authored the aforementioned passage of Scripture also uses this same wording in the first chapter of John’s gospel.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John1:1-3)

The “Word” is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the very essence, the very being of God the Father. All three are distinct personages of the Godhead and yet all three constitute God. God the Father and Jesus the Christ who is His son share the same spirit. The spirit they share is referred to as the Holy Spirit.

All creation was made by means of Jesus. The very concept or thought that the creator of the universe would come to earth in the form of a man so that He could truly sympathize with our circumstances and later be a sacrifice to cover over for all the bad things each person has done was a theological bombshell in John’s day. God wants a personal relationship with you. If you give Him your heart, He will give you His spirit. In addition to this, you will spend eternity with Him in Heaven one day.

“ Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.” (I John 4:13)

Amblessed has given great advice. My simple answer is that one normal human cannot be two, but that Jesus, who is fully human and fully divine, is able to be anything He needs to be! Maybe the reason we can’t understand this easily now is that we are so tied to our human bodies that we can’t imagine anything different or greater than our own existence. Jesus, who existed from the beginning, and is God, was able to be born as a human in order to meet the needs of us - His people. God bless you in your faith.

The Trinity is like an egg there is the yolk, the shell, and the white, but it’s all one egg the Trinity is similar there is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Spirit but still they are all one one Trinity three seperate parts

amblessed is right on. different aspects/faces of the same God.
