Do we believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost?
Absolutely!
Do we believe that they are one glommed together person?
Absolutely not.
Why would God be so different than those He created in his image?
We aren't glommed together as multiple individuals. We are individuals.
God is our Heavenly Father, Jesus is our brother and the Holy Ghost is the one who helps us feel God's inspiration in our lives to help guide us to do right.
God is a person. He is our God, but he is a person with a body. Why is that so hard for some to believe.
I know that many teach that he is unreachable, unknowable, unfathomable, and absolutely beyond our ability to understand.
He is our Father. He is our God. He loves us.
He wants what is best for us.
He doesn't want our fear, he wants us to love Him, as He loves us.
He is there, He will listen, He does listen.
He is not a they, a them. He is God. Jesus is His Son. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit without a body.
He has restored the truth to the earth. Find out more. mormon.org

God, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost are 3 not 1
I realize that God is all powerful and can do anything he wants.
I also realize how he set up this earth. Each person is an individual. We don't have several people in one.
I believe in God as an individual, his son Jesus Christ (how can he be a son if he is also his father?), and I believe in the Holy Ghost.
Jesus, representing his father, as a mediator between us and God was born on earth as a man. If God is a spirit as many claim, then he is also part human. That doesn't even make sense.
When Christ was baptized, the voice of God came from the heavens, Christ was in the water being baptized, and the Holy Ghost was there witnessing the event and was represented by the sign of the dove. 3 people, not one.
When Stephen was being stoned, he looked up and saw Christ on the right hand of God. Two individuals, not one.
When Joseph Smith was trying to find what church to join he went into the woods and asked God. God and Jesus appeared to him together, as two individuals. God said to Joseph, pointing to Christ, "this is my beloved son, hear him".
Joseph was told that because of wickedness, the truth had been lost from the earth and was now just the philosophies of men mingled with scripture. He was told that he, Joseph, would restore the fullness of the gospel and church of Jesus Christ to the earth.
That gospel would have a prophet and 12 apostles as it did in Jesus' time, and would have authority directly from God and Christ to restore what had been lost for centuries. Included was the fact that by revealing themselves to Joseph, he learned that they are separate and distinct individuals.
That's what I believe.
It's true.
