They're not!
Trinity is "A three-fold personality existing in one divine being or substance, the union in one God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three infinite co-equal, co-eternal persons as; one God in three persons.
The trinity concept came from PAGANISM-(paganism means no religious beliefs); here are a few sites that will tell you:

There are 3 that protestants claim about the trinity; they're JOHN 14 & 15 and 1JOHN 5:7. To start out 1JOHN 5:7 was never in any of the inspired Greek manuscripts; so this knocks out one. As for John 14 & 15; the Greek word for "helper" is paracletos; one who helps inwhich points to the Holy spirit. In Greek, the word "He" is neuter such as "hand" is feminine whether it is a woman's hand or male's hand. As for the word "paracletos" it is masculine and always require a masculine pronoun. This however doesn't prove personhood as you've noticed.
But as you've noticed, these texts don't prove Jesus is God or the Holy Spirit.
I don't believe in the TRINITY! The Bible texts that I'm going to mention contradict the Trinity teaching.
MATT.12:32 "AND WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME."
JOHN 14:28 "IF YE LOVED ME, YE WOULD REJOICE, BECAUSE I SAID , I GO UNTO THE FATHER: FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I."
1COR.11:3 "BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST; & THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN; AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD."
LUKE 18:19 "AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? NONE IS GOOD, SAVE ONE, THAT IS, GOD."
****SEVERAL OTHER TEXTS SAY THERE'S ONLY TWO PERSONS:
1COR.1:3; 8:6; 1TIM.1:2; 2:5; GAL.1:3; PHILIPP.1:2; ROM.1:7; 2COR.1:2-3; 1THESS.1:1; 2THESS.1:2; 2TIM.1:2; PHILEMON 1:3; 1PETER 1:3; 2PETER 1:2; 1JOHN 1:3; 2JOHN 1:3.
Also why I don't believe in the TRINITY is because it says in the KJV that the false church will cast all the truth to the ground (Daniel 8:12). I happen to know this false church because all the world(Matt.7:13) has followed it (Rev.12:9; 13:3,12) except for one church (Acts 20:28).

Catholics (i'm one among them) understand that the word "trinity" would not exist interior the Bible. yet as you examine the completed e book and learn each word, you will see that there are 3 Divine states or those that exist 'in' or 'as' God. there is the father, El, Elohim, Our author of all it is considered and unseen. there is the Son that the father despatched. the father promises His choosen human beings a Messiah, a Redeemer, a Saviour and that individual is the Son of God, that's called God the son. His human call is Emmanuel/Jehovah/Jesus. and there is the Holy Ghost/Spirit. Jesus promised His followers an recommend, a instruction manual. The Holy Spirit is stated with the aid of the OT and NT with the aid of fact the Spirit of God and the Spirit of the Lord to boot. while interpreting the completed Bible, you will see hundreds of references to 3 states/persons of God. those 3 are one God yet they are cut loose one yet another, being they have diverse roles in God's plan of savlation for mankind and our souls' eternal lives. the father isn't the Son and the Son isn't the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit isn't the father. however the father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are God.

I don't believe it, I know that they are three separate beings. Why would anyone think that it was one being. There is only one God There is also the son of God and the Holy Spirit.

If you consider any idea about God, you will probably find at least one person who believes it.
