Can you explain to me, how the same being can be standing side by side? The problem I have had in this discussion in the past is this, trinity believers always say that these passages prove the trinity further, but they do not explain how?
Have you ever heard it described as the same being on 3 different planes?
An example would be the typical flatland idea. One could say that the spirit realm is the 4th demension. We are 3 demensional beings, made up of 3 parts, body/soul/spirit. Your soul is "intangible." It is your mind, will, and emotions. Your spirit would be like your body, only on a 4th demensional level. Angels and demons fall into this category.
If you believe that could be true, then perhaps Jesus is the 3 demensional image of God, the Holy Spirit is the 4th demension (able to be everywhere at once?) and God the Father would be the 5th demensional image of God. Since we 3 demensional beings can't fathom the 4th demension (yet), we certainly couldn't envision a 5th one.
Let's pretend humans were 2 demensional. God would be a 3 demensional creature. If he stuck 3 fingers into our world, they would appear to materialize out of nowhere, and all we would see would be 3 circles. As 2 demensional beings, we have no idea how God could do that, or indeed any concept of what he "looks" like.
It's all pure conjecture until the spirit realm can be proven to exist, but this is the best description I've heard of it.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

Re: Avoiding the obvious answer at all costs.
So what are spirits in your opinion?
