It's basically omnipresence. Everywhere, all the time, in our hearts, that sort of thing.

That's why it's often called the Holy Spirit more often.

Ok, God is everywhere...and the Holy Spirit is everywhere...but what is the difference? If they're the same then why is there a distinction?

The father figure is the person you address when you pray. Or Jesus sometimes. Also viewed as the creator, referencing the seven days of creation and all that.

Jesus is basically the guy, the "son" of god who lived a long time ago and spread the teachings. After the old testament people were like.. "Who is this god guy anyways?"

The Holy Spirit is like the faith that keeps god around us. Like the burning bush in the bible. That's basically a reminder that he's all around.

But don't quote me on any of this. Sunday School was a long time ago.
