The three persons of the Trinity always work inseparably, for their work is always the work of the one God. The Son's will cannot be different from the Father's because it is the Father's. They have but one will as they have but one being. Otherwise they would not be one God. On this point St. Basil said:
God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions. The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself. God does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when God is needed to resolve a problem. Good people go to heaven when they die. [7]
Scripture mentions prayer to the Father, and to the Son, but the Holy Spirit is never prayed to nor worshiped in the Bible; in Revelation, there is praise to the “One who sits upon the throne” (God), “and to the Lamb” (Jesus), but the Spirit is not mentioned; modern binitarians conclude that this is because the Holy Spirit is not a ...

The Holy Trinity by Fridolin Leiber. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. 'triad', from Latin: trinus "threefold") [12] defines God as being one god existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial persons: [13] [14] God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit — three distinct persons sharing one essence.

Sikhs believe that God has been given many names, but they all refer to the One God, VāhiGurū. Sikh holy scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) speaks to all faiths and Sikhs believe that members of other religions such as Islam, Hinduism and Christianity all worship the same God, and the names Allah, Rahim, Karim, Hari, Raam and Paarbrahm are ...
