Yes the Holy spirit is a different administration and he is YHWH. Christ is a different administration and he is YHWH. The father is a different administration and he is YHWH. They each have separate purpose but they are all one YHWH.

If they each have a different purpose, then they are distinct from one another.

But we do not know how you define Administration (Especially in relation to His singular persona: Like his one mind, will, and emotions).
Each administration has a different purpose for being because they each perform a different operation(for example Christ is our savior).

The son does the will of the father as does the holy spirit, we are shown this throughout the NT. This is because the Son has put himself into the place of a servant to do the will of the Father, but is still in and of him because they are each still YHWH.

They are still one and the same. They are distinct only in the Role they play within the nature of Godliness.(different administrations that perform different operations)

You said "They" which implies more than one.

But this really does not resolve Him making requests within Himself. If He is truly just one persona as you say, He shouldn't be making requests and or praying to Himself. Unless of course you care to explain it.
The son subjected himself to the father and took on the form of a servant. A servant may ask things of his master, we have seen this things in humans since the beginning. Again brother they each have a different role/purpose of being, but they remain one and the same YHWH.

To error is human. God does not error.

I am just checking because some believe that God just puts on a mask and He simply carries out different functions. Is that what you are saying? That God just puts on a mask in a way to do certain tasks? Also, what is the purpose of naming yourself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost if they are not distinct personas? You say they are all just one mind, but why would Heaven record that there are three that bear record in Heaven if they are not distinct?

I realize that God is one God, but there are distinctions of persona within God because the Son makes requests to the Father. If God is just one persona as you say then this would not happen. There would be no need to communicate in such a way.

Yes each of the three administrations, didn't God refer to himself as we several times? I see no problem with calling each administration by a different name since God gave each one separate names Father/YHWH Yahshua/YHWH and the Holy spirit/YHWH. But all are still one God YHWH.

The father is in the son, son in the father, spirit in the son, spirit of the father, all are one and in one. There is only one God(YHWH).
That's just another way of saying the nature of the Father is entirely the nature of the Son; and the nature of the Father and the Son is entirely the nature of the Holy Ghost.

That's actually a Trinitarian statement.

Is it your view that The Father, Son and Holy Spirit do not precede the others in time or in power, but all are equally eternal and all-powerful because they have the same divine nature?

But why would God have to separate Himself with names to accomplish different tasks?
Why would He need to talk to the different administrators that are not personas?

I definitely do not believe he puts on any sort of mask(unless of course you count the flesh as mask).

The Lord created it so that each (Father, son, Holy spirit would) would have a different function within the Nature of godliness. Because each has a different role/operation to perform within their administration.

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Each have a different purpose but they are all still one.

It's a problem because we have nothing to relate to this to in the real world.

Also, you said God gave each one separate names. Who is God? Is there a fourth entity involved that names the three parts of Himself?

Jesus says He does everything the Father says. This would essentially be that He is doing everything that He told Himself to do. It makes no sense.

I would have to hear what you defined divine nature as.

P.S. I did not know the Catholics/Trinitarian made that statement but I would like to see in what context it is made.

You said "EACH" one has a different purpose. Again, this implies a persona when you say EACH one.

I don't presume to know the will of the Lord, I only know what is given to us within his word.

I already told you what I mean when I say that brother. I can stop saying it if it makes you more comfortable or if it help explain my belief better.
