God is a jealous God. He proclaims that there is no other God but Him, and He will not tolerate the worship of other gods. Doesn't this idea of one God contradict the doctrine of the Trinity? The idea of the trinity is better understood in the context of water. Ice is a solid, water is a liquid, and water vapor is a gas. But in each phase or form, they are all still H2O. Their forms, properties and attributes change, but their chemical makeup does not. At their core, they all remain the same. Just as water is still water is whatever form it takes, God is still God in whatever form He takes.
God exists in three forms, which make up the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. Of the three person of God, the Holy Spirit often comes under attack for not only being God, but being alive at all. Some cult prefer to think of the Holy Spirit as the magical power that God wields; or God's superhuman ability.
The Holy Spirit is not only alive, but He is God as well. Winfield Bevins lists some attributes of the Holy Spirit: "1. Omnipresent: The Holy Spirit is everywhere at all times (Psalms 139:7-10). 2.Omnipotent: The Holy Spirit is all-powerful (Luke 1:35). 3 Omniscient: The Holy Spirit has all knowledge (1 Corinthians 2:10-11). 4. Eternal: The Holy Spirit has no beginning and no end (Hebrews 9:14). 5 Holy: The Holy Spirit is wholly pure, perfect and sacred."
God may exist in different forms, but if God is omnipotent in one form, He remains omnipotent in another. After all, God makes it clear: God doesn't change who He is.
