What are the three facts of the Holy Trinity?

[Edit]

One perspective

Fact 1, They are all three separate beings.
Fact 2. They each have their own responsibilities,
Fact 3. Their titles or names are Elohim (The Father) Jehovah (The Son) and the Holy Spirit.

Elohim, plural name though it is , is also the exalted name of God the Eternal Father.
Jehovah and Christ are one and the same person. The word Jehovah is the anglicized form of the Hebrew Yahweh, which refers to the God of Israel. Jesus acts under the direction of the Father, though all authority is given to him as though it was the Father speaking.
The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. It is His spirit that is felt throughout the universe.
It is said that they can be everywhere at the same time but this is a misinterpretation of Holy Writ, each member of the Godhead can only be in one place at a time, and as explained it is the influence of the Holy Spirit that is felt everywhere.

Another perspective

Fact 1. Although three separate persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, there are not three separate beings, since there is only one true God.

Fact 2. The Father is God, The Son is God, The Holy Spirit is God.

Fact 3. Although they are three distinct persons, yet being co-equal, what applies to one certainly applies to another. This appears in quite a number of places in scripture. God the Father is referred to as the savior, Jesus is also the savior, and the Holy Spirit brings the message of the savior to human hearts. God is light, Jesus is light, the Holy Spirit brings 'enlightenment' or understanding regarding God's truth. None of the three are created, yet all perform creative acts.

There is a term that describes the Godhead even better, and that term is Triunity, as they are Three distinct persons/manifestations of One God, Jehovah, but they are unified as well.

Also, there is a bit of a subordination in the Trinity, and that is from bottom to top, the Holy Spirit, then the Son, Jesus Christ, and then God the Father, though the inner workings of this subordination eludes me sometimes, as there is a system, but I am not experienced enough to say any more with confidence.
