God the Father.
God the Son.
God the Spirit.
Blessed three-in-one.
Not gonna try to "explain" the trinity.
But I do sort-of wish Holy Spirit was named Herb...or Fred...or Tom.
We try to and should stress Spirit is a "person" just as the Father and the Son are...but it is sometimes difficult.
Holy Spirit is just hard to relate to...He seems like a "what" as opposed to a "who" or "whom" (all Bible quizzers grin).
I pray to the Father through the Son by the Spirit.
I am everlastingly glad the Father planned the gospel; the Son paid for the gospel, the Spirit proclaimed and applied the gospel.
But I still, sometimes, wish He was named Herb...

Actually the holy spirit was originally referred to in Judaism as the Shekinah, and was in fact the female part of God. Father-Mother.Son the holy triad. Christains changed it later. So the appropriate name is Shekinah (there are some variations).
