The Son is Jesus, who is described in the book of Hebrews chapter 1:2-3 as ...appointed heir of all things, through whom also He (meaning God) made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person..., whose sacrifice on the cross and subsequent resurrection ransomed souls from hell, opened the portal to heaven for those who want to go or both, depending on which Christian tradition one consults. He was both God and man, not considered to be some kind of phantasm or soulless possessed being, but was just like other humans except for also being God. The Chalcedonian Creed spells out the distinctions between Christ's divin nature and his human nature. |

The [Holy Spirit]? is sometimes thought of as the essence of God embodied as divine or inspired wisdom in people's lives, telling them the proper way to deal with the universe. Some believe that it is within everyone, the part of God that communicates directly with humans. Others believe that the Holy Spirit is a distinct person, coeternal with the Father and the Son, no more or less immanent than the Father and the Son. |

The three parts of the Holy Trinity are widely held to be coeternal, of the same substance, and yet inexplicably different. All are considered to be present at each stage in history; the Trinity just shows the appropriate character at a given point. |
