Following the edifying discussion over at Izaac's blog on the trinity, I thought I'd put a few thoughts up here.
The father is the first person of the trinity. Jesus, also known as 'the Son', is also a part of the trinity. Usually considered the second person of the trinity. Jesus is both God and man. The holy spirit is the third person of the trinity and proceeds from the father and the son.
Have I got that right? Come one, come all and comment!
