Three persons in one ... what?
The orthodox formulation is "three Divine persons in one Divine nature".
That is what I believe. In fact, if you want to know what I believe about the nature of God, just read the Nicene Creed. It's all in there.

Three persons in one that is what I asked

There is one and only one God. God eternally exists in three distinct persons.
The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, the Father is not the Spirit, etc.

Champion, did the Father suffer and die on the cross for your sins?

(Sound of orchestra tuning up.
Stirring musical introduction,
here comes the baritone:)

PAT-ripassion
the belief that makes you go insane,
where modalism's sweet,
the explanation's neat,
but the Father's hanging there in pain!

PAT-ripassion
the belief that leads us to deny
The Holy Trinity,
And God's integrity.
What we thought were persons were a lie!

We know the simplicity's grand,
Still we reject it right out of hand.

And when we say
Or sing a kyrie,
We're only saying
God truly is in Three Persons,
Holy Trinity, Okay!



With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein and everybody whoever knew me.
