How doe the 3 beings of the trinity God view each other in the Bible?

How doe the 3 beings of the trinity God view each other in the Bible?
Originally posted by wolfgang59Not really as it's 2 x hydrogen to 1 oxygen, so the hydrogens out-number the oxygen and gang up on it, even though the oxygen has mates.
The debate goes on but I haven't seen any credible explanation.
One being, three persons.
What nonsense is that?
The Trinity is like H2O: ice, water, steam?
An analogy proves nothing.
As an atheist I wont accept your belief but I will accept a rational explanation.
Come on!

46 At about three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why did you abandon me?”

Another comment by Jesus himself about his Father Jehovah.
John 5:19

The Authority of the Son
19 So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.

Where is the holy spirit in this decision making process?
Originally posted by wolfgang59That is true. However, after the Son of God pleased the Father, the Son was given all authority in Heaven and on Earth. The JWs are partly right about the Holy Spirit, because He is the active force of God and does the will of the Father and the Son by using His active force. The Holy Spirit is not just doing His own will for He is in complete agreement with the Father and the Son. Jesus described the Holy Spirit as like the wind. Who does the wind take orders from? 😏
And doesnt the story go that god [b]sent his son to Earth?
Doesnt that imply at least a hierachy between the two.

Originally posted by galveston75You seem unable to grasp that Jesus was also human. This was the only way that God could die for man's sin. Only the flesh could die, not the Spirit. Jesus was crying out from His sufferings in the flesh like any other man in His appeal to God. Don't you remember that John says that the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. He also said the Word was God. Paul points out that during this time the Son had humbled himself to take on the flesh of men. If you would use a little logic here, you should be able to put it together.
