Ha! You did yourself in without realizing it.
READ the verse:
thus saith the Lord the redeemer and he that formed thee from the womb,I am the Lord that maketh all things.
God is calling himself "the redeemer" which we know is Jesus
and the Creator - God the Father - all in the same sentence!
Thanks for giving us more evidence that Father and Son are one!

Three different person doesn't mean three different Gods. You are failing to make the obvious distinction between the "person" (Gr. Hypostasis) and the "essence" (Gr. Ousia). Any of the Greeks who were evangelized in the first century or the hellenized Jews who were also schooled in Greek language and thought would have understood this. The Godhead is a matter of Nature (Gr. Ousia), but the quality of personhood is something completely different.
In human beings, the quality of what it means to be "me" is united with my "personhood" so each instance of "personhood" is an individual human who is completely seperate from all other humans. But the nature of God is not like the nature of humans. You are taking what is true of humans and trying to apply it to God. In the end, your version of "God" is some comical cosmic old guy with a big gray beard who can't be one and three simultaneously because you can't wrap your mind around it. It is an anthropomorphic view of God and it isn't monotheism, it is monidolatry... your god is only as complex as what you can comprehend.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Three parts of the ONE true God.
The Trinity is a term used to help understand this.
They are all the same, God created everything.
Peace!

When Jesus was baptized of John the Father was in heaven the Son was on earth and the Holy Spirit fell on Him. Matthew 3: 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Matthew 3: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Who raised Jesus from the dead? The Holy Spirit raised Him. Romans 8: 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. The Father raised Him. Romans 6: 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. He raised Himself. John 2: 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. There is no doubt that the Godhead is made up of three people and these three are one. 1 John 5: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
