Actually they did appear separately at the same time when Jesus was baptized.
The Father was in the form of Sounds in Heaven, The Holy Ghost was in a shape of a dove, and Jesus was become himself. So, I guess in the term of mathematics we would say one plus one plus one equals three.

You've mixed things.The trinity is a mystery. We cannot explain it, this is object of faith. We can however light up certain points. Lets use some proportions. The human soul is constituted, (as we know), from the intellect, the sentiment and the will. But it is one and it is impossible to present separate the parts that constitute it. When the intellect acts, -acts simultaneously the sentiment and the will. An other example from the material world: The sun is one, but emits and simultaneously lights, heat and produces energy. And all these are in one. The beginning of [Triadikotitas]the trinity of God should become comprehensible from entire intellectual us it is. Not only from the intellect but also from the sentiment and the will. Then we can see him more clearly, The trinity is the christian perception about God. For the Israelites and the Muslim it not the same. They understand the God as one and we recognize only one god, who however was revealed to us as a Trinity. He is the God that came in positive relation with the humanity. The god - Father, the Creator, the God - Son, the Savior that suffers for the salvation of the human gender, the God - Holy Spirit that leads to the path of truth. The perception of God's uniqueness is right, it is also abstract and mental. While the God, comprehended as Trinity, is a perception of life, tied up with entire our human existence.

Why deny their real nature? They are God.
The term "one" in the Hebrew is "echad." It is pronounced ekh-awd', and is Strong's Ref. # 259. It is a numeral which, properly, means united, i.e. one; or (as an ordinal) first.
In Genesis 2:24, we see that God says that Adam and Eve will become "one" (echad) flesh. Now, we know that they were two people, yet God says they become one.
This is the same concept of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being "one." Jesus is not the Father or the Spirit, and the Father is not the Son or the Spirit, and the Spirit is neither the Father or Son. They are all God, but separate persons.
Each of them share the same attributes. For example, the Father is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and so is the Son (John 1:2), and so is the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14). Another shared attribute is their holiness. Only God is truly holy. The Father is holy (Revelation 15:4), so is the Son (Acts 3:14), and so is the Spirit (Acts 1:8).

I don't believe in the trinity. I believe that Jesus, our Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost our all seperate. There is the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost. When Jesus was baptized according to the bible, He was physically baptized, and at that time the Father said for all to hear," This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" and then the Holy Spirit flew over in the form of a dove. From what you desciribed all three would have to not know about the other at the same time...this proves that false. This all happened at the same time, and the Father would not know of His baptizing and express His pleasure in Him being baptized. I also find it hard to believe that they could Jesus could be being baptized physically, than throw His voice so He could say what the Father said, and than while still in the physical body have His spirit leave Him (or how ever that would work) so that He could fly over His mortal body in the form of a dove. In my opinion there is only one answer and that is that they are 3 sepearted beings. There are two many times in the bible that they are all working seperatley in the same moment. And Jesus was of flesh and bones...how could he have a body and also be 2 different spirits..oh btw i also believe that Heavenly Father has or had a body at one point. He says that we are created in His image, and if He is a Spirit or a floating head as an old friend thinks...why aren't we like that. Just as we carry characteristics from our own mortal father...why wouldn't would carry characteristics from our Heavenly Father?

Elohim. [The basic form]
God; gods. The plural form of El, meaning “Strong One.” The Name Elohim occurs 2,570 times... with a singular person verb tense...blatant proof that God is ONE God while being plural.
You are confusing the trinity concept with a god that manifests in three separate forms.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not forms of God, each of them is God. An infinite God cannot be fully described by a finite illustration. Instead of focusing on the Trinity, try to focus on the fact of God's greatness and infinitely higher nature than our own.

How can anyone exist when they have the ability to reason, chew gum, and drive at the same time? I mean, it makes just as much sense to me that God is better at acting in several places at once, if we can do several things at once. I don't get why people have such a problem with this.

"My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9
How can you understand your own Creator? How can you fathom all of God? There are some things that our limited human brains can't comprehend. Thus, we're NOTHING compared to God. Don't try to "solve" it by logic; just accept & believe.

It's obviously meant to consternate you. Just let it go. Stop playing their game. Focus on things your mind can address with certainty.
