Q: Can you say something more about the Trinity? How can God be both one and Three?

 The Christian teaching on the Blessed Trinity says that there is one God in three gods and one god, but there is one God in three divine persons. This means that there is only one “godhead” which is found in each and all the divine persons: God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If we ask, how man godheads (or divinities)  are there ? The answer is : only one.  There is only one “what” in God. But this one godhead is possesed by three “who’s” or persons who all fully possessed the godhead of God. God   cannot be one and three gods at the same time, but he can be one God in three persons. The three Divine Persons all possess the one godhead. 
This mystery was revealed to us through the preaching and the life, death and resurrection of Christ. If he had not revealed His mystery, we can never fully understand it, because if we understood it , we would able to understand God completely . But God revealed this mystery of his intimate life in order to impress upon us that he loves us, and that he wants us all to be united in spite of the uniqueness of each person.

Q: If we say that salvation is through Jesus alone, how about the Hindus, Buddhists ,etc .,who don’t know about Jesus?

 The Hindus, Buddhist and others who do not know Christ can nevertheless  be saved because that they have a chance to receive Him or reject Him. One way by which Christ presents Himself to be encountered even by non-Christians is through their fellow human beings, especially the poor. In the gospel of Matthew, Christ tells us that whatever we do to one of  His least brethren is done to Him (Mt. 25:10). So , those who truly love their fellow human beings and receive them into their hearts, are actually receiving Christ the Savior, into their hearts, and thus the can be saved. St. Paul tells us that the person who fulfills the command, “ love your neighbor as yourself” has fulfilled the whole law, for all the commandments are contained in this one command (Rom. 13:9-10)
