The orthodox Christianity (such as Catholic tradition) asserts that there is only one God, not three gods. Furthermore, it states that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit compose of only one God, implying that the three divine Persons are distinct in the way they relate to each other (Mere Catholicism). The Son of God, in the name of Jesus, has his main task on Earth which is to reveal the face of the Father as stated in John 14:8: "Whoever sees me, sees the Father." This suggests that everything He does is a mirror of the Father. His revelation of the Father through His prayer can be described as "reaching down into depths beyond words" (Jesus of Nazareth reading). These prayers tell the following about the Father: (1) He is a real presence that can be experienced and can be conversed with, (2) He is the source of all good, (3) Love endures until the end, and (4) He is not just someone who gives things, but someone to experience His very self. In relation to the Catholic context, there are following reasons why Catholics call God as "the Father": He is (1) the Creator at every moment we exist, (2) the Provider, (3) the Shepherd, (4), the Redeemer, freed us from sufferings for the time immemorial, and (5) the Final destiny, grounding one 's self-identity. Jesus taught that people relate to God as "the Father" as affirmed in Mt. 6:9. Furthermore, His basis of this teaching was His own experience of God as "Abba." Jesus comes from God and He is God.

Gregory of Tours’ Clovis' Conversion to Orthodox Christianity
In The History of the Franks, Gregory of Tours portrayed Clovis as a leader who, although his conversion to Christianity appeared to be genuine, nonetheless, used his conversion to realize his political aspirations. By converting to Christianity, Clovis, according to Gregory of Tours’ narrative, was able to garner the support of Christian leaders such as Saint Remigius and, consequently, gain powerful political allies.

Russian Orthodox Christianity as we know it today has a unique and distinct identity from other Orthodox Christian Churches around the world, specifically when it comes to asceticism, monasticism and the understanding of Hesychasm. The devotion that people have towards their faith, along with the majesty of the services with thousands flocking to the cathedrals and monasteries to venerate relics and miraculous icons is rarely seen elsewhere. Russian Orthodoxy has come to where it stands today because
Trinitarian doctrine distinguishes Christianity from other religions and serves as a barometer for measuring orthodox Christian faith. The Athanasian Creed begins its forty-four line doctrinal commitment by stipulating that whoever will be saved hold to the catholic faith “that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity.”1 The church accepted these terms and has continued the tradition of affirming a Triune God as described in Scripture.

People separate and then reunited; people quarrel and then reconciled. Similarly, Christianity also has separation reunion, argument and reconciliation. Christianity was started as one body, and then multiple factors gradually contributed to the split of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Some of these factors are such as the different understanding of Christianity, the different point of views toward the authority of the Pope and the different ideas of governing the Church
