This one is for Jasmar. Jesus and God (the father) are one in the same, in essence, but are different representations of each other. The third part is the Holy Spirit. I have heard it broken down into functionality, God is the big, mysterious part, Jesus is the God-man, that was able to live among us and save us from our sin, and the Holy Spirit is the presence of God that inhabits us and dwells with our spirit when we put our faith in Jesus and are born-again. The trinity is the toughest part of the entire bible to explain. As for adam being made in the image of God, I think it refers more to attributes than God essence. Man can be creative, free willed, and desires fellowship. In this way, man is an image of God.
