The ancient people of biblical times believe there was a difference between the personalities of the father, son and holy ghost, these people applied characteristics to each name that was used in the various trinities. This is something the theologians of the new world seemed to be familiar with but by the time the protestant churches broke away from the Catholic church it took on different path.
Let's be clear if Jesus was in the beginning, he was not floating around in space zapping people. This spirit was operating through someone long before Jesus of Nazareth was born. The father son and holy ghost are titles they are not names, yet the trinity is an ancient concept, yet we view it through the Lense of people who either did not understand ancient concepts or wanted to change the concept.
Let's look at the Godhead; the 3 persons of the trinity, with distinctive personalities. A ghost is the spirit of a dead person and because John the Baptist was filled with the holy ghost before Jesus was born, this means someone died before the New Testament. God in Colossians is different than Father!
Jesus said to the man don't call me Good only God is good but said he is one with the father Mark 10:18 in Colossians and John the Greek has different definitions for earth and world.
In order to understand the concept of the trinities a Greek and Hebrew concordance will help as well as Hinduism and the Gods of the Pharoahs. We have to study further than the hebrew in order to get clarification. I use Biblegateway and Biblehub as well as a Greek and Hebrew Concordance. We need a study of Rome during the new testament period. The study of the Greeks and Rome are the gateway to understanding the Pharoahs and the Gods of Hinduism.

Trinities or Triunes were common in ancient times. Most ancient people combined deities, for instance the Hindu religions. The priest of the Israel/Judah did not pray to Abraham, Isaac or Jacob but certain Ancient Africans were unique in that they prayed to their ancestors. When someone passed away they believed they joined the other ancestors. The priest of Israel prayed to either Yhwh/Hehu or Amun-Ra and possibly other deities,
It is probable that the Egyptians of the bible (African tribes) may have honored all of the ancient deities but they combined ancient deities to create what the historians call cults but today these cults would be considered denominations. Each trinity consisted of a Male, Female and Child. It is possible that some were unisex. I am unsure as to what the tribes in other regions of Africa practiced but the names should tell the story.

Becoming familiar with the names of the ancient deities can provide insight to the various names in the bible and their African roots. For instance Tanzania is a German translation but I am not sure if Tanzania is the original name of the region but it does look like Atan is a part of that name and if it is the Atan is a solar deity.
Genesis 4:26 "and then men began to call upon the name of the Lord". This text could mean that at this point in history people began to name their children after the Lord but what is the definition of Lord. Most of these deities in the ancient world are linked to the celestial sphere of the cosmos; meaning astrology and what most Christians don't watch, the sky.
The trinities such as Amun (father - the hidden), Khnum (the potter who formed man) and Mut (the mother of all deities, the protector of all) were a very popular trinity from the region near what we call Ethiopia. There were other trinities with the same concept but only one with a ruler who was said to be murdered and resurrected. He is also said to be the ancestor of some or all Africans. The debate about his origins were ongoing, and that seemingly includes the first church.

When studying the first church and the council of Nicea you will see that the debate was regarding the divinity of the father and son. Was the son fully divine or part divine. This debate can also be had about the African father named Nunak, Akanu, Anak, or Osiris, it is possible that he had more names but the trinity of the Mother Asus, the Father Osirus and the Son Horus or Korys is a very important trinity of ancient times that is linked to Birth death and resurrection.
