"15. When, therefore, you read the Name God, separate neither Father nor Son, for the Godhead of the Father and the Son is one and the same, and therefore separate them not, when you read the words blessed and only Potentate, 1 Timothy 6:15 for the words are spoken of God, even as you may read: I charge you before God, Who quickens all things. 1 Timothy 6:13 Christ also indeed does quicken, and therefore the Name of God is meetly given both to the Father and to the Son, inasmuch as the effect of their activity is in agreement. Let us" CHURCH FATHERS: Exposition of the Christian Faith, Book III (Ambrose)

If I may interrupt.
God is a Trinity.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
our first clue is in Genesis.
When YHWH created the Earth, "the Spirit of YHWH hovered above the waters."
This shows that YHWH has a Spirit, and that this Spirit can leave the "Existance" or I shall call it the "Body" of YHWH.
The next clue is found when YHWH said, "Let Us make man in Our image."
Here we have 2 leads,
first YHWH speaks to a plurality, which he calls "US".
secondly, YHWH say that Adam would appear and look like God!

Now we know that Adam did not wear clothes, and when he sinned, he realised he was naked.

But look at this nice clue and facts coming together when thinking about Adam not having the need to dress (Originally before he lost his innocense)

God is LIGHT, and wears LIGHY as we wear garments. (Ps 104:2)
When Moses spoke to YHWH in person, God was in his fullest glory containing the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and shined a bright light that radiated so strong, God had to keep his hand between Himself and Moses. Even this light from the back of God made Moses shine a bright light which the elders had to cover due to its intensity.

When Jesus ascended to heaven, He changed into a bright Light!

Now lets connect the dots.
If Adam did not have the need to dress, and he was made in the Immage of God, then Adam was dressed in light!
This counts for Eve also.
Now the 3rd person, the Word of God was with YHWH since the beginning, before time existed, and he was God.

Great, now we have the full attributes of YHWH, the father, who is the existance, the Spirit that is the power of YHWH to enter into God's creation to work within His creation, and the Word of God that was the Creator who left YHWH's existance and became a man here with us on Earth, to be born, age and live like a man, to bleed, pain and die like a man.
But, to raise up from the dead like God, because God is Life and can not die.
Whislt Jesus was dead for 3 days, he visited Gehenna and gave the Gospel to those who died in God to assure thm that death is now finished, and the ressurection and everlasing life will now be comming soon.

We are a trinity in the immage of God, because we have a body, a Mind (or word, our conscience) and a spirit. Now, our Conscience and spirit can not die, but the sinfull body we received as inherritance from Adam and eve, this dies, but will be replaced with a body Adam posessed before sin came in the world, one that will live forever where our spirit and Mind will live in.

Great, this is the Trinity of the Bible, YHWH the Father has a living body of light, or a life giving existance.
YHWH has a Mind, or as John calls it, a Word, which came to earth as Jesus.
and a Spirit which can work in us and who is also a person just as the Word and the Father.
This is one God, just as we are one human.
But this God has 3 attributes,
Just like us humans have 3 attributes, a Body, a Spirit, and a Conscience.

Greetings.
