Many Christians claim to believe in ONE God. However, many Christians also claim to believe in The Father, The Son, AND the Holy Spirit. If I counted correctly, thats three...because last time I checked God does not assistance and the need to divide His powers.

Okay,
First understand that God is SPIRIT. S...P...I...R...I...T.
Now, Jesus is God in the flesh and Jesus said that those who see him, saw God the Father (check this out for yourself in the bible). Jesus' physical body is but a container with the spirit of God inside.
The Holy Spirit, needless to say is from God, and therefore God's spirit.
The 3 are one and the same. GOD.
John 1: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God.
The term trinity DOES NOT exist in the bible. It is merely a secularist term that tries to physically demarcate between the 3 entitites although these 3 are actually one and the same.
Anyway, don't bother about this too much because your salvation does not depend on it.
Just remember.
GOD IS ONE.

A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.

It is difficult to switch metaphors/analogies across metaphysical realms...ne'ertheless, try this.
Water is the basis of life....yet becomes real to us as ice and steam. Different aspects of 1 molecule - each unique, yet all one.
Whether or not God chooses or needs to divide His powers is most likely God's call, not yours. Few of us are in a holier than thou position to check God.

God is too big, holdin universe in palm of his hand, so he sent son Jesus Christ to each us to be like him, powerful. then when up in heaven, left the Holy Spirit to be our guide, powerful guide.
You can't go well without the Holy Spirit. try it. see the diagram?

It is a stupid way Monothesists try to incorporate polytheistic ideas into their religion yet try to maintain the fantasy that they are a monotheism!
In short complete and total BS!
None of them can be proven to be real!
Here you have three just prove ONE is real and I'd be impressed!

I'll offer an analogy. Three blind men are examining an elephant. One feels a leg, one a tusk, and one a trunk. Later they compare their impressions. All of these are but a part of a whole. For myself, I believe in none of this.
