It's a very confusing idea, but here is a simple analogy that might help. The Trinity can be compared to an egg. An egg is made of the shell, the white, and the yoke. The shell itself is not the egg, but if you show it to someone, they will tell you that it is part of an egg. Same with the other parts. Seperate, they are things, but they are not complete 'til combined. Likewise with the Trinity. There is God the Father, then there is Jesus, God the Son, then there is the Holy Spirit. Seperate, but together, they make God.
Hope that helps. And as to your little race speech, amen! It is sooo annoying when I get kicked out of something b/c some illegal, or black comes and wants to do the same thing, even if I did better. I have nothing against blacks, or Mexicans, I'm just against PREJIDUCE (sp?) !!!!!!!!! We are trying so hard not to be biast against others, we are being biast against ourselves! I had a friend who got a perfect score on the SAT, didn't miss a single question, and the college they wanted to go to didn't give them their well-earned scholarship b/c they were blond w/ blue eyes!!!!! AHHH!!! Well I gtg. C'ya!
