Please read the text... It does not say THREE equal gods.. God is ONE... God is otherworldly and we cannot hope to understand what God is because it is not our time to know. We have yet to attain the spiritual righteousness that will grant us this understanding. As long as we are in a fallen state we fall short of Gods glory. I think you will have to pray for guidance on this matter, because it seems your mind and heart are closed tight to any possibilities other than what appeals to your human logic.
Peace unto you.
I will repeat the statement again but this time complete :
T
he doctrine of the
Trinity — that
God the
Father, God the
Son, and God the
Holy Spirit are eachequally and eternally the one true God
God is a Tri-unity, with each Person of the
Godhead equally and fully and eternally God.
each means each person of the trinity , each are equil and each are fully and eternally god , otherwise the phrase Godhead would not make any sense
I would also like to add this :
God is a trinityof persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as the Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc. These are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God

So they are three different persons
Three distinct beings
Without one of them there would be no god!!!! another dangerous statement , because it means that the father is powerless without the son and the holy spirit contradicting what Jesus said :
John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than
John 20:17 Jesus said "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
As for not three gods , well the unknown writer of John disagrees:
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
importantly enough the actual greek manuscript reads was divine
peace
