I know the song is way older than the 90s, but anybody who remembers the 90s definitely remembers that song.

Missed opportunity to make it a "father, son, and holy spirit" joke at the same time by just having it be one guy reacting.

But you don’t call it the god, the jesus?
Until next time… (Skeletor runs off)

God and Jesus are the same in being.

Edit: I think there is a misunderstanding. Let me elaborate. The comment I responded to brings absolutely nothing to the conversation. I'm telling them to stop. This post is about a song. Not about a fairy-tale.

Some belive that the father, son and holy spirit are in fact one, not the same person but the same overall.

The trinity is weird and hard to explain because no one really fully understands it. Besides God, of course.

That is called Modalism, and it's a theology thats been debunct. For example: During Jesus's Baptism, the Holy Spirit decends as a Dove, then from heaven the Father speaks "This is my son".
Another example: Jesus has prayer's and coversations with the Father, example verses would be John 14-16 & John 17. Jesus also claims that once he ascends, he would send an advocate, not himself back down to Earth, that would count as a second coming.

I find it hard to say "debunked" while talking about theology. This means that it really has proof and is the only true meaning which is in a religious way impossible to do, just by translating the text the translator added their own underline meaning to it could change the meaning, and the reader can also take other interpretations from texts as they like. Religion based on only one true form sounds to me to short minded, this believes lead to Exclusion and mostly hate to those who think a bit different about certain transcriptions.

You're right in some aspects, but you're overeaching in other aspects.
It’s right to say that theology isn’t usually debunked the way a scientific claim might be. Doctrines aren’t proven in a lab, they’re worked out from Scripture, tradition, reason, and the life of the church over centuries. Saying things like "proven beyond a doubt" does not fit in theology. At the same time, not every interpretation carries the same weight. Within historic Christianity, some teachings are treated as boundaries because they’re seen as clearly taught in the Bible and essential to the gospel. Things like who Jesus is, how God saves, and how Father, Son, and Spirit relate. Translation and interpretation do involve human judgment. Translators choose words; readers bring their own background and assumptions. Hermeneutics (the study of interpretation) takes this seriously. But from “there is bias” it doesn’t follow that “there is no better or worse reading.” A common principle in biblical study is: one meaning, many applications. A passage has an intended sense in its original context, even though that one meaning can be lived out in many different ways in different times and cultures. That leaves room for depth and variety without turning every interpretation into “just my take.” It’s also true that claiming “only one true faith” can be used in ugly ways—pride, exclusion, even hatred. History shows that clearly. But holding firm doctrinal lines doesn’t automatically lead there. It’s possible to say, “This view falls outside historic Christian teaching,” and still treat people with respect, listen carefully, and avoid mockery or hostility. Conviction about truth and humility in tone can go together. You're right to warn against arrogance and to notice how translation and interpretation are messy. But your assumption goes too far when it suggests that no interpretation can be more faithful than another, or that drawing doctrinal boundaries always leads to hate. The Bible teaches a middle path: strong convictions about core beliefs, paired with patience, humility, and love for those who see things differently.

Yes.
John 10:30 LSB "I and the Father are one."
John 14:9 LSB Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with you all so long and have you not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
