“So, God the Father, and His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are all the same being? “

Scripture teaches there is ONE God - - not many.
Scripture teaches the Father is God.
Scripture teaches the Son is God.
Scripture teaches he Spirit is God.
3 Persons, 1 God.

“does that seem logical to you?”

Yes. More importantly, it is what God revealed to us, whether you think it seems logical or not.

“check out Christ’s prayer to his Father in Heaven in the Garden of Gethsemane, and tell me if he was asking himself to spare himself from the agony he was to face in atoning for all of mankind’s sins? sense? “

So, God the Father, and His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are all the same being? does that seem logical to you? check out Christ’s prayer to his Father in Heaven in the Garden of Gethsemane, and tell me if he was asking himself to spare himself from the agony he was to face in atoning for all of mankind’s sins? does that make sense? “

Christ was talking to The Father.

What doesn’t make sense is your failure to acknowledge what God revealed in His Word.

'Son of God' was presented in Scripture as a metaphor that could be understood. If the three 'person' Trinity is examined however, it is NOT supported in Scripture - it is a fabrication of a Catholic council.

The infinite cannot be divided - if it is, the result will no longer be infinite. There cannot be more than one infinite or everything. From Swedenborg: God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence do not come within the scope of the human understanding because God's Omnipotence is infinite power, God's Omniscience is infinite wisdom, and Omnipresence is infinite presence in all the things that have gone forth and that do go forth from Him; and indeed the Infinite Divine does not come within the scope of a finite understanding.

As for Scripture, have you looked at Isaiah on this?

Isaiah 25:9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord [Jehovah];
We have waited for Him;
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

Does Jehovah not mean 'The Father?

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.4 Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Same thing: Jehovah is the Lord the Father.

You say Scripture teaches - where?

Paul teaches in Colossians 3:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

'Godhead' is Godhood or Godness.

In other words, ALL Divinity is present within Jesus Christ.

For a complete Bible Study on this, see 12/3/14 The Son of God
