I agree with that.

As you have phrased it there, I can’t object.

It is an interesting relationship, because when Jesus was on this earth, He told people that his relationship to God the Father and the Holy Spirit, is the model for our path to the Father through him with the Holy Spirit.

We also have Jesus prayer from the cross asking God if there was any way to pass this cup, but God the Father’s will be done.

This reveals there were two entities at that moment.

Jesus pray in the Garden of Gethsemane was to another entity.

I think of Jesus as an individual, but also a part of God, just like the Father and the Holy Spirit.

They act as one though. I can’t deny that.

As a member of our RCIA (adult converts') teaching team, I "teach" about the Trinity but I certainly can't say I "understand" the Trinity.

Whenever I'm assigned to teach this lesson, I feel I should be on my knees.

As I have been taught, the three Persons of the Trinity each has a mind of His own and a will of His own. That's, by definition, what makes them "Persons." That's why Jesus would rather not "want" to die on the cross, but could still say, "Not My will, but Thine be done."

But they are in unison of being, and the "essence" of their Being is Love.

Thus Jesus also said, "the Father and I are One."

John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
