Not to be taken as anything else other than the way a lot of "Christians" have asked us to believe over the years!
(Put into words for a better understanding!)

How much clearer can it be? :-)

You've provided a simplistic, snarky (perhaps Jewish) "explanation" for what has always been referred to by Christendom as "the mystery of the Trinity".
It misrepresents the entirety of the teachings of the New Testament regarding the nature and status of God.
So... was there a point to it? Or did you just want to remind us why listening to non-Christians trying to explain how Christianity works is always an eye-rolling waste of time?

Trinity, .016 seconds in...

Some things you just don't mess with. :shrug:

Welcome to the forum @scottfreitas
Though it may be viewed as in poor taste; it was meant as humor. So...yes, non-Christians trying to explain how Christianity works is eye-rolling and we'll leave it at that.

Isaiah 55:8.

I'll leave this to the nuns and the Catechism.

I'll just say mysteries are better off left undefined.

The Trinity can be illustrated by some of the TV commercials for Progressive Insurance -
the ones where several roles are shown on screen,
all at the same time, all portrayed by the same actress.
The Trinity is similar. The Trinity is one person appearing in multiple roles, all at the same time.
Each role performs its function. The one person is performing all of the functions.

No, actually that view of the Trinity was condemned as heresy by the ancient and undivided Church (look at the entry for Sabellianism in The I Spy Book of Heresies we Orthodox Christians are issued).
Now, that was an actual joke -- there is no such book, but we Orthodox are very good at recognizing ancient heresies in new garb, so some wag once suggested we had such a book.
One of the fundamental principles of traditional Christian theology is that there is no likeness between the created and the Uncreated, and that God transcends all created binary distinctions (as for instance the distinction between unity and multiplicity).
