@divegeester

Is that a yes or a no?

Yes, what the Bible reveals about God's being may be expressed as three distinct Persons.

I usually say distinct but not separate. Each "Person" lives in the other.

@divegeester

Distinct in what way then?

"And the Word was with God and the Word was God"

For example in John 1:1.
Distinct but not separate.

So, you missed it when I said to chaney3, "For clarity, please see John 1:1" ?

Jesus speaks of Himself and of His Father as "We" in John 14:23.

"Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him,

and We will come to him and make an abode with him." (John 14:23)

The divine "We" of the Father and the Son must also be the same two "Persons" as the Word and God in John 1:1.

There is distinction between the Word who was with God.
There is no separation between the Word and the God Whom the Word WAS.

In the same way, the Divine "We" of Father and Son reveals distinction yet mysteriously EACH lives in the Other.

I have a new analogy which I may try on this Forum to help understand the Trinity. All analogies are limited. None that I know are completely good.

Who wants to see a new analogy ?
