Cults Always Redefine the Terms

The word Trinity is a classic case of how people redefine terms to fit their religious view.  All cults either attack the concept of the Trinity flat out, or they will say they believe in the Trinity while redefining what it means.  The Mormons will often say they believe in the Trinity while being polytheists, that is believing in many gods.  They will claim the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are not one God, only one in purpose.  The Muslims will reject the Trinity based on what the Quran says, that is, the Father, the Son Jesus, and his mother Mary are the Trinity.  At least the Jehovah's Witnesses are honest and will reject it flat out as something dreamed up by the Catholics.

The reality is that our Father in heaven is obviously God (though Muslims will reject the title Father).  When Apostle John wrote that the Word was God and that he became flesh in 1:1,14 it seems quite clear.  The Jews knew what he was claiming and picked up stones to kill him for blasphemy.

 Next we find that the Holy Spirit (or Ghost, for the KJV people) is referred to as a person not an "it" or an energy or force.   In John chapter 16 Jesus said "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness, and judgment..."  An energy does not convict anyone, only a person can do that.  So there it is in a nutshell.  Within the one God there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  We are made in God's image and we also are triune; spirit, soul and body.
