Multiple Choice

Who comprises the Trinity?

The idea being tested is the Trinity: God exists as three persons in one divine essence—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is why the best answer names the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (often called the Holy Ghost in older translations). Each is fully God, yet they are distinct persons who share the same divine nature, so there aren’t three separate gods but one God in three persons. The other choices mix in human beings or a community rather than divine persons: the Mother and Virgin Mary are humans, and the Church is the community of believers, not a divine person. The term Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost refer to the same divine person, just different wording.
