The fact that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons means, in other words, that the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Jesus is God, but he is not the Father or the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, but he is not the Son or the Father. They are different Persons, not three different ways of looking at God.”
Have you heard of the word "coinherence" ?
It means generally - one lives in the other or Each mutually lives in Each.
The Son given is called the Eternal Father (Isaiah 9:6).
The Lord who is Christ Jesus is the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:17).
We have various terms to help us explain or understand this greatest of mysteries. In the end we simply have to let the words of the Bible itself transcend any creeds we make.
What is written must have the final say.
" For a child is born to us,
A son is given to us; ... And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (See Isa. 9:6)
"And the Lord is the Spirit; ..." (2 Cor. 3:17)
"... the last Adam became a life giving Spirit." (1 Cor. 15:45b)
Theological Illustrations, definitions, analogies may have some limited helpfulness. Finally we just have to say "Amen" to the pure words of the Holy Bible.

I posted a lengthy article on the Trinity and thought that could be the basis of a conversation. It’s obvious from your reference to it as “spam” that you had no interest in talking about the Trinity beyond using it for trolling purposes.
