In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person is the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.
I wanted to point out that this is a conservative position on God that is held by those (like me) who model themselves after the 1st century church. My response to valkyrie goes into a little more with the question.

BTW - I have much love for CARM!!!
