The '''Trinity''' is a term used to describe the nature of the [[Godhead]] as one being in three persons: [[God the Father]], [[God the Son]], and [[God the Spirit|God the Holy Spirit]]. This doctrine is foundational to orthodox [[Christianity]] and affirms that these three persons are co-equal and co-eternal, sharing the same divine essence while maintaining distinct roles and relationships within the Godhead. | The '''Trinity''' is a term used to describe the nature of the [[Godhead]] as one being in three persons: [[God the Father]], [[God the Son]], and [[God the Spirit|God the Holy Spirit]].
