An Explanation of the Trinity?

[FallentoReason]

I think of the trinity as being different body parts but of the same body.

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?

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.

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.
