Trinity Question

[Guest Nacho]

I have doubts and questions on this topic.... Lately I have been questioned constantly by Pentecostals, they dont beleive God us a Trinity, they beleive that Jesus is Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.... anyway, I dont agree with them because I do see the differences between the three divine persons in the Bible but....I have a question about our Catholic faith, who do we beleive created everything>>?? The Father or the Trinity(Father, Son and holy Spirit)??, also, if all three of them are the creator then why does our Creed say only the Father??......
Also, if Jesus is eternal, has he always been the same?? (I mean, has he always had flesh and bones and blood???>>>>)....sorry if Im hard to understand, english is not my first language


Please Help! My mind is going to explode thinking about this

The Triune God creates the universe; in other words, the Father creates through the Son (cf. John 1:1-3) and in the power of the Holy Spirit (cf. Genesis 1:1-2). As a consequence, creation is an activity of the Tri-personal Godhead.

The Logos (Word) is eternal, but He became man at a specific point in time; for when the eternal Son of God was conceived in the womb of Mary, the ever-virgin Theotokos, He became the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Scripture teaches that Christ has two nativities; the first is His eternal generation from the Father (cf. John 1:1-2), while the second is His nativity in time when the Word took flesh from the virgin Mary and became man (cf. John 1:14).
