They are the same Substantially.They are not the same person.All are God. Each one is God. But they are not each other. We cannot say the Father appears as the Holy Spirit. That would imply they are the same Person.
Your explanation goes against the Monotheism in Judaism and Christianity.
Monotheism Definition & Meaning
: the doctrine or belief that there is but one God; historically related forms of monotheism as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Trying understanding what the Catholics are saying about the Trinity.
Is God the Father, and the Holy Spirit the same?
The doctrine of the Trinity means there is only one God, yet He exists in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Understanding the difference between these three distinct Persons helps us grasp the complexity and unity of God's nature.

I don't 'hate the idea of a socialist society, I think both Capitalism and Socialism are functioning concepts,That a combination are often helpful to nations.I like independence and less Federal Government,But I think nations can have a hard time functioning without some Socialism, taxes, military.
What you see is a compromise.

How did December 25 become Christmas? We cannot be entirely sure. Elements of the festival that developed from the fourth century until modern times may well derive from pagan traditions. Yet the actual date might really derive more from Judaism—from Jesus’ death at Passover, and from the rabbinic notion that great things might be expected, again and again, at the same time of the year—than from paganism. Then again, in this notion of cycles and the return of God’s redemption, we may perhaps also be touching upon something that the pagan Romans who celebrated Sol Invictus, and many other peoples since, would have understood and claimed for their own, too

And Santa Claus.
What is the connection between Santa Claus and Christmas?
Santa Claus embodies the spirit of the season because he symbolizes the spirit of giving and joy associated with the holiday season. He remains a symbol of hope, faith and joy, and is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. Origin Story of the Festival of Joy.

Maybe just an act of altruism to another person."And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me."This.
Who came to help or rescue Jesus?
From Jesus’s own words on the cross.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

God is a spirit, he appears to us as the Holy Spirit.No He does not. That would mean the Person if the Father is the same as the Person of the Holy Ghost, which is heresy.

Christmas is a business holiday.
Christmas was traditionally a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in the early 20th century, it also became a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike.

The gene hasn't yet been found, but his study found that many pairs of gay brothers shared a marker at this particular region of their genetic makeup. Also, in finding that homosexuality seemed to be a sex-linked trait, biology again seems to lend causation. Although the exact mechanism is at this point still shrouded in mystery, researchers are continuing to search for the true cause of homosexuality.
If homosexuality is genetic and naturally occurring. Does that mean it will be legalized?

It's possible through MRNA technology to alter hormone levels and create more gay people like us.MRNA technology can be used to alter hormone levels by delivering instructions to specific cells in the body to produce or regulate certain hormones. For example, mRNA can target cells in the endocrine glands, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, or gonads, to modify the production of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, or other neurosteroids that influence brain development and behavior. When a Biocorp adjusts hormonal signals during critical periods of development or even later in life, it will influence factors associated with sexual orientation. We currently have a highly advanced understanding of the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying sexual orientation, as well as precise delivery mechanisms to avoid systemic side effects. However, the ethical, biological, and psychological implications of such interventions would be profound and controversial if the public were aware of this.
The use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat children with gender dysphoria, or distress resulting from an incongruence between a person's gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth, has been banned or restricted in 26 states.

I'll vote for anyone if they act in the best interest of the country and the people of the country they are elected to represent. "And by people I mean legal citizens and only legal citizens" If shooting someone is in the best interest of the people and the country then so be it. The OP doesn't give context so it’s a red herring question.
So you would vote for Trump a convicted criminal in the best interest of the country. That would make you MAGA.

The Historical impact of Jesus on history.
The example of Jesus led to a completely different view of the worth of children, women, slaves, and the disabled than the societies of the ancient world. Because Jesus showed that every human being is made in the image of God, His followers understood that all people are of equal worth and deserving of love.
Jesus also had a significant influence on art. Much of the art from late antiquity through the Renaissance depicts Jesus or themes from His life and teaching. Many of the most famous paintings on display in museums depict stories from the Gospels. Even in the modern world Jesus continues to be an inspiration for many works of visual art, music, and literature.
It seems uncanny that Jesus, who lived in an area on the eastern edge of the Roman Empire and never left the region, who had only several thousand followers at His death, and was shunned by both the religious and political establishment of the time, is not only remembered 2,000 years later, but is the most famous person in all of human history. Many may disregard the teachings of Jesus, but no one can deny the tremendous and unparalleled impact that Jesus has had on history.

As I said in the previous posts you either haven’t read or couldn’t comprehend, Jesus never said a word about homosexuality, and it only appears that Paul mentioned it a few times, but these references did not appear in any translation of the Christian Bible until 1946, when bigots like Stephen inserted them to justify their hate.
Certain modern terms like beastiality, homosexuality, incest etc were not explicitly used in the Bible. But they were reference as unlawful acts.
The Jewish law provides a long list of what constitutes unlawful sexual intercourse in Leviticus 18-20. According to those statutes, a man was forbidden to have sex with the following:
1. His neighbour’s wife (Leviticus 18:21)
2. Another man (Leviticus 18:22) (homosexuality)
3. An animal (Leviticus 18:23) (beastiality)
4. His mother in law (Leviticus 20:11)
5. His daughter in law (Leviticus 20:12)
6. His sister (Leviticus 20:17)
Sex with any of these would be considered porneia – unlawful.
Homosexual' Has Always Been in the Bible?
The word “arsenokoitai” shows up in two different verses in the bible, but it was not translated to mean “homosexual” until 1946.
Both references in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament have been interpreted as referring primarily to male homosexual individuals and sexual practices, though the term homosexual was never used as it was not coined until the 19th century.
Did Jesus mention homosexuality?
Does Jesus Ever Talk About Homosexuality? -
1. Jesus did speak about sex and marriage. While it is true that Jesus never specifically mentions homosexuality, it doesn’t mean that He had nothing to say about sexuality or marriage. Jesus employs the K.I.S.S. method[1] and consistently points His listeners back to how things were in the beginning, with male and female, united for life, not to be separated (Mark 10:2-9Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). But some people assume that since He didn’t specifically mention homosexuality that must mean He was at least ambivalent about it. Such a conclusion does not give enough weight to what Jesus did say or why He only addressed certain topics. (For example, He didn’t say anything about bestiality or incest, either. To be consistent with this argument, you’d have to argue that He was on the fence about those things, too.)

Why celebrate it?
Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life.

They support him because he hates the same people he does (brown people, trans people, etc.). It has little to nothing to do with policies because Trump doesn't have any. His two big promises are to round up 10-12 million illegals and kick them out, and to tariff the hell out of everything, two things every economist says will result in the opposite of what Trump's voters say they wanted and most Trump voters even acknowledge would be terrible, but they also don't think he's going to do it.When you're voting for someone you do not think will do the very things he campaigned on, you cannot pretend your vote is based on policy.
The American people support Trump because they believe only a criminal can understand what is good for America. Trump is a convicted criminal.

That trinity doctrine is refusing you to say there is only one spirit even though the scripture says there's is one spirit. You can't even say what the scripture says.
Trinity do trinity says the same thing as scriptures. They are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one.

Freud revolutionized how we think about and treat mental health conditions. Freud founded psychoanalysis as a way of listening to patients and better understanding how their minds work. Psychoanalysis continues to have an enormous influence on modern psychology and psychiatry.
Freud is Still Relevant, But Only as a Reference Point
Freud’s legacy has transcended science, with his ideas permeating deep into Western culture. As psychologist and Freud critic John Kihlstrom himself admits, “More than Einstein or Watson and Crick, more than Hitler or Lenin, Roosevelt or Kennedy, more than Picasso, Eliot, or Stravinsky, more than the Beatles or Bob Dylan, Freud's influence on modern culture has been profound and long-lasting.”
But, Freud has, for the most part, fallen completely out of favor in academics. Simply put, no one taking psychology seriously would use him as a credible source. In 1996, Psychological Science reached the conclusion that, “There is literally nothing to be said, scientifically or therapeutically, to the advantage of the entire Freudian system or any of its component dogmas." As a research paradigm, it’s pretty much dead.
But wait, how does that mean he’s still relevant? Well…
Freud was absolutely correct in his assertion that we are not masters of our own mind. He showed that human experience, thought, and deeds are not exclusively driven by our conscious mind, but by forces outside our conscious awareness and control—ones that we could eventually understand through the therapeutic process he called, “psychoanalysis.” Today, very few would argue against the idea of the unconscious mind, and Freud’s claim for the central role of the unconscious mind in human actions is as relevant to psychology today as it was then (see the following collection of essays called Frontiers of Consciousness).
Freud also argued for the idea that the brain can be compartmentalized, that brain function can be broken down into individual parts. His take on this, of course, was incredibly primitive, as Freud mostly spoke of the ego, id, and superego—ideas we don’t really accept any more, as mentioned above. But, his larger thesis of psychic compartmentalization has gone to influence such thinkers as the cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky, who talks about the society of mind.

Competing constructs establish personhood in both individual and interpersonal contexts. Within the individual context existential personhood may be posited as a distinctly human state within the natural order, intrinsic to human life, and independent of the status of the human being. In the interpersonal context the existential construct holds that personhood is not a creation of the society, is not a right, and may not be altered or removed by human fiat. Relational theory presents contra assertions in these two contexts. The Christian view is taken as a particular case of existential personhood. Arguments concerning the nature of human personhood are metaphysical and consist of philosophical beliefs which may be properly asserted in either construct. The interpersonal context of personhood lends itself to comparative analysis of the empirical results associated with both the existential and the relational constructs.

The multiverse is science fiction.
Science fiction has been exploring the multiverse for decades, using it as a backdrop for some of the most exciting and imaginative stories ever told. In many science fiction stories, the idea of the multiverse is used to explain why events or realities can be so different from one universe to another.
For example, in the popular television series “Sliders,” the main characters travel between parallel universes, discovering different versions of Earth with different historical events, social structures, and even physical laws.
Another example is the science fiction classic, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” in which the multiverse is used as a tool for satire and comedy. In the story, the main character, Arthur Dent, travels from one universe to another, encountering strange and absurd realities along the way.
The concept of the multiverse is as crucial as that of time travel. In fact, in some of the concepts, when you jump to an alternate timeline, you have hopped into another multiverse where things played out differently.

And comically, you think Leviticus is in the New Testament,
Jesus did not quote anything from the New Testament because the Gospels and New Testament were written after his death.
Jesus quoted from 24 different Old Testament books.
He quoted the Old Testament 78 times, the Pentateuch alone 26 times. He quoted from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, and Malachi.
Therefore it certainly cannot be argued that Jesus affirmed or was indifferent toward the issue of homosexual sex. Jesus clearly endorsed the Old Testament vision of marriage as an inviolable covenant between one man and one woman and he clearly viewed unlawful sex as being the sort of thing that defiled a person and placed them outside the kingdom of God. Jesus did not use the word “homosexuality” but neither did he use the word “incest” or “bestiality”. He did not need to. In using the Greek word porneia he identified with how the Jewish law delineated lawful and unlawful sex.
The Jewish law provides a long list of what constitutes unlawful sexual intercourse in Leviticus 18-20. According to those statutes, a man was forbidden to have sex with the following:
1. His neighbour’s wife (Leviticus 18:21)
2. Another man (Leviticus 18:22) (homosexuality)
3. An animal (Leviticus 18:23) (beastiality)
4. His mother in law (Leviticus 20:11)
5. His daughter in law (Leviticus 20:12)
6. His sister (Leviticus 20:17)
Sex with any of these would be considered porneia – unlawful.
What did Jesus say about obeying the Old Testament?
“In the Old Testament, God always intended for the consummation and end of the ceremonial laws.” So, the good impulse starts, perhaps, with a text like Matthew 5:17–18. Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them

Google claims quantum chip may prove existence of parallel universes.
Astrophysicist turned science writer Ethan Siegel claimed that the success of quantum computers doesn’t necessarily prove the existence of a multiverse, the Daily Mail reported.
“You can have quantum mechanics work just fine, both physically and mathematically, without introducing even one parallel universe,” Siegel wrote in his essay for Big Think.
Regardless, experts believe that Willow’s capabilities are astonishing.
Professor Winfried Hensinger, director of the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies, deemed Willow’s achievement a “very important milestone” in the field of quantum computers.
“This result increases our confidence further that humanity will be able to build practical quantum computers enabling some of the highly impactful applications quantum computers are known for,” he said.
Google believes Quantum computing has “promising applications” in various fields from discovering new drugs to cybersecurity.

Sex and violence are relative.Which might suggest that the de-sexualization of the species, would benefit the rate of human universal progress.Energy that goes into endocrine management, would perhaps be better utilized in data gathering, processing and development.
“Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times.”
Sex is associated with achievement, and it’s an amazing realization. But how did we get to a point where this seems almost controversial to talk or write about?
Reasons More Sex Will Bring You More Success
1. Sexual energy is transmutable.
Hill says that people of great achievement have “learned the art of sex transmutation”–they can transfer their sexual energy to other pursuits, like their professions.
Sex drive is one of the most potent forces that we as humans have access to. Imagine the possibilities if you used that energy to lead your career ambition. If you can channel that force positively, you will go to great heights in terms of thought and success.
Sex puts you in a peak state for creativity.
The energy, aliveness and desire you gain from sex can fuel your creativity and innovative thinking. There’s a physiological effect, too–the chemicals that are released during orgasm are healthy for you. Oxytocin is released throughout the body, and it relaxes you and makes you feel closer to your partner. It’s also been recently found that this hormone enables cognitive flexibility pathways, fostering creative thinking and problem solving.
