The Christian trinity is very hard to understand, you need to understand Neo-Platoism to to begin to try and understand the Trinity.

I will use an example of a modern day religion, which incorporates thinking very similar to that of the Neo-Platonists used. Namely Hinduism, where the various gods are manifestations of Brahman (the godhead) who is the eternal, unchanging, infinite, immanent, and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything beyond in this Universe.

Back to the Christian trinity, a brief description would be one godhead and three separate persons. Namely god the father, the son Jesus Christ and the holy spirit.
So trinity is a mini-panteist being? Thinking
