So God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are *not* 3 distinct entities but rather 3 manifestations of the same individual aka God?

RE: An Explanation of the Trinity?
I think I said this before somewhere... but when I was a Christy, I explained it like this:

There's an egg.
The egg has a shell, a yolk, and an egg white. It's still one egg.

Anywho, I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if we're past this. It's 2AM and I'm awake, so peek-a-boo!

That might be a good example except for one thing, those three are not equal to each other, dependent not equal.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yes, but the egg white doesn't ask the shell why it has foresaken it. Nor did the yolk impregnate a virgin chicken, causing the yolk to come into existence.

The egg also doesn't knock up the chicken and then scramble itself in a holy omelet so it can eat itself and forgive all mankind for something it did not do.
