<P> The Christian doctrine of the Trinity ( Latin : Trinitas , lit . ' triad ' , from trinus , `` threefold '' ) holds that God is three consubstantial persons or hypostases -- the Father , the Son ( Jesus Christ ) , and the Holy Spirit -- as `` one God in three Divine Persons '' . The three persons are distinct , yet are one `` substance , essence or nature '' ( homoousios ) . In this context , a `` nature '' is what one is , whereas a `` person '' is who one is . The opposing view is referred to as Nontrinitarianism . </P>
