I don't ever even begin to claim to understand the concept of the 
trinity and yet I do believe that in their Oneness, Father, Son and 
Spirit are separate in one. I do not think that Jesus can be the 
Father. he is never taught as such or teaches himself as such in the 
Bible. How can the Son  of the Father be the Father also? And why, if 
they are one, do you differentiate between God the Father and Jesus 
as your Father? i see Jesus as our brother by adoption - us being 
adopted into the family of the Father.

Cheers,

Doris
