The Trinity is Biblical

K_Michael

I'm a little unclear on what all of that means, but I agree that their essence is the same and their persons are different. I don't understand the whole 'only one being' part.
It's hard to decipher as it never clearly says straight out, "God and Christ and the exact same person and so is the Holy Ghost"
I believe that we can be sure that Christ was present before the creation of the world, as he created it (refer to The Pearl of Great Price, at lds.org) However, I also believe that our souls were created before the existence of the Earth, because we are to RETURN unto our Father. I would like to talk more on all of this, but I need to find some specific verses, and I would like you to at least skim The Pearl of Great Price before we continue.

I can not clarify any further unless you specify what is unclear to you. They are one Being (they share the same essence), but are three distinct Persons. The Father is YHWH, the Son is YHWH and the Spirit is YHWH.

You stated, "It's hard to decipher as it never clearly says straight out, 'God and Christ and the exact same person and so is the Holy Ghost'". You will not find a statement like this because the doctrine of the Trinity does not teach they are the same Person. As I mentioned, there is a distinction between God as a Being (Essence, or that which makes God, God) and Person, the distinct Persons that share the Essence.
