> You are correct in saying that Jesus is the son of God. Lynette is also correct in saying that Jesus is God Himself. The concept is called Trinity. It consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are three separate entites, but can also be thought of as one, and can each be correctly referred to as "God."

Wouldn't it be better to say that God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit *are* the same entity, and that the different names are just indicative of focusing on different aspects of God at different times? For example, when we want to think about God manifesting himself as a human who died for our sins, we'd refer to him as "Jesus", and when we want to talk about how God is present in all of us, we'd refer to him as "the Holy Spirit".

In that sense the Trinity is not a triad of three entities, but a triad of three different but interrelated concepts, all pertaining to the same supreme entity.

I strongly suspect that you are using a different definition of "entity" than I am, and that you are even switching between more than one definition -- for example, saying that the Trinity is composed of three separate entities which can be thought of as one entity. Maybe my confusion basically stems from Christianity's horribly jumbled semantics.
