The Trinity is not parts btw. This is a common misunderstanding of the doctrine. It's one being that's somehow simultaneously three persons. Don't ask me how this makes sense, it doesn't to me.
Wrong about the first sentence, the trinity is seen in the act of creation, and is seen in the decision to move Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden.
The second part is somewhat correct and you are not able to understand because you are not a Christian so the Holy Spirit hasn't revealed this to you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
