God is Three Persons My question is why do Catholics believe that God is Three Persons and called the Holy Trinity? How can God be three persons and still be one God? I am Catholic but I still question myself on this. I did some research and it said that God had described himself to us as our Father, our Son, and the Holy Spirit. They also said that God is everything and anything because he is the one who created the world. I think this question is important to me because I want to understand the concept of God being three Persons. The main element of this belief is that God is a single God, but each aspect of God is an individual. The Trinity is the main key to Christianity,
God’s form are very important, and have a specific purpose in building a relation and learning how to grow a spiritually maturity with him. One way to explain each role is sort of confusing, but God is our Father; the one we pray to. He is the one who created everything and the universe.

Here is a piece of scripture from Isaiah 48:16 from the bible that somewhat explains Gods forms: “I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.” This to me tells me that he is God, he is the Lord our God, and he is also the Holy Spirit. You can also say that we see God and His great salvation in the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, then we experience their reality by faith, through the presence of His Holy Spirit. There are many ways in trying to define the Holy Trinity, but in the end they will all mean the same thing and that is that God is our Father, he is the Son, and the Holy
