A better way to think of it is... 1x1x1=1.
So all 3 are 1? Because mathmatically 1 is mulitiplied by itself, not another 1. That didn't help me. Maybe I over-analyze things.
Yeah, they are. God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are all one, but yet at the same time their own separate beings. While Jesus was on earth, he was God in human form- but yet at the same time God was in Heaven, and The Holy Spirit could be elsewhere also. All the while, however, all three were still one God.
I wish I could explain just exactly how this is, but I wouldn't be able to do it any justice.
