If you are an intelligent person, read "Rational Spirituality" available on the Dhaxem website.
Conveyed from the Source in Februaqry 2006, it is entirely logical, and explains the nature of God in lucid terms, including the nature of the "triumvirate".

What has sense got to do with it? What "sense" do we make of our
being , or that of the cosmos in its mind boggling enormity ?
The trinity has been part of mainstream Christian belief since the time when the first Christians grappled with who and what the reality of Jesus was about .
Doubting Thomas said he refused to believe until He witnessed the risen Lord . His words "my Lord and my God ",was met by Jesus '
reply that he had believed because he had seen,but happy were those who had not seen yet believed . Now if He spoke to his Father in heaven and also promised to send the holy spirit to guide us when He left us then there you have the trinity outlined by Jesus himself.
As to how you can get your head around the idea of three distinct persons in one God , well St. Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the trinity ,three petals ,one leaf . Or one man , father , husband , brother . These ideas might help but it is true that the Trinity defies our ability to fathom it , a bit like the cosmos wouldn't you say ? but if you look up at the night sky it is awesome , almost as awesome as the Trinity .

The Trinity is not a triumvirate. It is monotheist in that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit always agree as one. they are never in disagreement.

First verse of the Bible reads "In the beginning God (literally Elohim = plural form of the word for God) created (the verb form is in the singular) the heavens and the earth", so we see from the first verse of the Bible both unity and plurality in the Godhead. This is developed in many passages throughout Scripture. I will share a secret with you - if you want to understand the nature of the Godhead, go back to the creation story where it is written "Let us make man, in Our image, according to Our likeness...", and then consider the account of the creation of Adam and Eve in Chapter 2, and you shall see the Three in One.

No because Christianity is not a triumvirate belief, we don't believe in three gods We believe in one God who has revealed himself in three distinct persons. We are mono theist. Who has taught you that christians are not monotheists?

No. Not since, in the Holy Scriptures, there is a person called the Father who is called God. And a person called the Son, who is also called God. And a person called the Holy Ghost. who is also called God.

Its more egotistical to believe in A God like yourself and everyone is thinking along those lines if their religion has risen from ignorance of this fact.

1 Corinthians 2:14 (New King James Version)
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Polytheism, monotheism or the fudgetheism of Christianity all these are equally supernatural nonsense and none of them are reasonable or make the slightest sense at all.

the fater,son, and holy ghost are one combined. They are just parts of the big picture of God.
