"The unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in three persons, in one Godhead."
(Webster's Dictionary)
The Bible clearly teaches that though there is only one true God, He is revealed or manifested in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is independent of each other, but never do they act independently. This study is designed to show that the Bible teaches that there are certain characteristics that are only found in God, and that the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all possess these, and no one else does.
