Body:
Some might lead us to believing that God cannot be in three forms at the same time, or separate in form but equal in goals. Through the ages we had:
1. Modalism, the teaching that God was not a Trinity but was a single God of three modes or manifestations, was a doctrine adhered to by a sect of the Montanists.
2. Deism - A belief in a god of nature -- a noninterventionist creator -- who permits the universe to run itself according to natural laws. belief in the existence of a god on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation
3. Pantheism is the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical,[1] or that the Universe (including Nature on Earth) is the only thing deserving the deepest kind of reverence. As such Pantheism promotes the idea that "God" is better understood as a way of relating to nature and the Universe as a whole - all that was, is and shall be - rather than as a transcendent, mental, personal or creator entity.[2] Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal, anthropomorphic or creator god.
Who dare man to question the authority of God, What do they know about God;
The creator of the universe
The Elohim
THE EL
The YawaY
The I AM
The omnipresent God.
The omnipotent God.
The ever present God
The Alpha and the Omega
The beginning and the end
The only true LORD and Savior.

We are but His creation, see thing through a finite mind and trying to understand an infinite being.
Because we believe it can be so that that it is so. God has continuously amaze man.
He parted the Red Sea for the Israel
He held the Sun in one place for Moses
He gave wisdom to Solomon more than any man
HE gave Samson strength more than a thousand men
