yes, you are right. there is "no three in one" of God's form.
in old testament, deutronomy 4:35,
"unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside Him."
in new testament, please read mark 12:29,
"and jesus answered him, the first of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is One Lord:"
while in Quran, it clearly stated in chapter 112: AL-IKHLAS (SINCERITY), verse 1 - 4 that,
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
say: 'he is allah, the one, (1)
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿1﴾
the called upon. (2)
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ﴿2﴾
who has not given birth, and has not been born, (3)
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ﴿3﴾
and there is none equal to him. ' (4)
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ﴿4﴾

Many religions of Christendom teach that God is a “Trinity,” although the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible. The World Council of Churches recently said that all religions that are part of that Council should advocate the belief that there is “one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,” that is, three persons in one God. Those teaching this doctrine admit that it is “a mystery.” The Athanasian Creed, of about the eighth century of the Common Era, says that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (Spirit) are all three of the same substance, all three are eternal (and hence had no beginning), and all three are almighty. So the creed reads that in the “Trinity none is afore or after other; none is greater or less than another.” Is that reasonable? More importantly, is it in agreement with the Bible?
This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles. The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, pp. 306, 304) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament],” and further says: “It is not, as already seen, directly and immediately the word of God.” It also admits (on page 299): “The formulation ‘one God in three persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.” So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.”

More mystical airy-fairy stuff from the cretinous god-squad. They don't even understand the concept of the trinity itself ..they merely parrot from tracts. They make an analogy and confuse it with justification or proof. This site should be banned as it clogs up impressionable minds with all sorts of dogmatic nonsense. The bible is a fiction on the same literary status as the Iliad, the Odyssey or Harry Potter and the Da Vinci Code. There are secure and safe places for people unable to distinguish between fact and fiction. These are people who cannot answer the simplest questions about science, math, history etc but come on in their droves claiming to know the mind of god.

He's not three person. The living God has shown Himself in three different forms, Father in Heaven, Jesus in the flesh, and the Holy Spirit.
It's like a plant. You have the roots (Father,) stem (Jesus) and then leaves (the Holy Spirit). It's all the same plant just different parts of it. Without one of them, you no longer have a plant.
Hope that helps!

He can't. The original description of God was that he had three 'faces', 'presences' or personas (personae to be more accurate), just as one actor can have three roles in the same play. The Greek word used in the Bible is 'prosopon'. This was translated, quite correctly, into the Latin 'persona', but it was later changed into 'person', naughty, naughty. So now we have heretics (trinitarians) making out that God is three Persons, which is polytheism, as well as raving lunacy. They do this because they want to demote Jesus, below the Father, below Mary, below the Pope, below anyone they can fit in above him!

Well, being a Catholic, this was my teaching.God is the only God.But in him, there are 3 parts. Like when we make the sign of the cross before grace.God the father(who sits at the head, the alpha and omega), God the son(Jesus, who God sent down to earth to do his will) and God the holy spirit( that which inspires us, comes down upon us, fills us with love,know sign as a dove.) I kind of understand this because you cant think in earthly terms.Think of what may be in Heaven,and it will all be explained to us one day. I have learned to take it as it is, that God is the 3 persons in one.And He can reveal himself to us as God,Jesus,or the Holy ghost.Hope this helped.Jacqueline

if you have the Blood of God the son, you are a God.
if the Blood came from God, that is the father he is God.
and God is holy, and his power is great, that is the holy spirit.
that is as far as I got so far in my "own" interpretation.
do you see your mother or father in you, as a daughter? So he carries the face of the father, Jesus, and are one. You carry your mothers and fathers blood. Gods blood is A GOD, and Jesus's Blood is Gods blood. The holy spirit is the power and holiness of God, for it is great and to be worshipped.

3-1.
this is my "own" interpretation, I am still asking God for the answer to see and teach it better.

If you think of an egg, shell, yoke,white.....
God has some hidden gems He longs to share with us - He longs for us to ask - it's usually by His revelation that we understand such gems.
IJohn ch5v7 "There are three witnesses in heaven; The Father, The Word (Jesus), and The Holy Spirit...and these three are one. AMP version...
Just ask God - He will make it clear. : )
