The word "God" is a title. Not a name. As in:

God the Father

God the Son

God the Holy Spirit

Can you not see how three distinct persons can share the same title of God?

So how can three individuals be one?

Because again it is a title that three individual share. There is only one God is the same as saying there is only one government of the united states... Yet in that government it is made up of the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch. all equal parts of the government and all make the single government that directs the united states. we do not have three governments just because we can subdivide the title word government into three indivisual branches...

The problem here is how most people understand the use of the word God. Most of you don't get how it is used in scripture and therefore misuse it to the point where the simple trinitarian doctrine becomes a real abject mystery. one that can be answered by reclaiming the word God as a Title and not a individual deity's name.

Ok, that's fine, but neither you, nor Huggy, nor Steve, nor GC are Nicene Trinitarians. Huggy believes that God is strictly one being, and you, Steve, and GC believe in three "parallel" divine entities in one God collective. It's logical, I'll give you that (at the least, it's not visibly illogical). But the Nicene Trinity (the one described in such texts as the Catechism and adhered to by many learned Christians) does [seem to] defy logic.

Still not illogical, or a contradiction.... it may be paradoxical, or perhaps difficult to understand. But yours nor anyone elses lack of understanding makes it illogical.
