So? do you know current trinitarian doctrine believes in a illogical paradox? that means any explanation that makes sense will be considered an anti trinitarian belief.
So seems to me the OP has a full understanding of the paradox, but now wanted to reconcile the paradox with how it can all make sense.
(remember only the jews refer to God as a single being this is not OT judaism. Christ refers to 3 deity but one God)
So All i do here is remove the doctrinally incorrect assumption that god is a name that identifies one singular being. then apply what we are taught in the bible about the father being an individual, the son being an individual, and the holy spirit being an individual as well. This is what makes the term God a title not a name as in God the Father, God the Son, and God the holy Spirit. So while doctrinally i may violate some religious rule. nothing i said goes against the bible. in fact i pull everything together neatly without violation or contradiction.

Of course! Thank you for your reply. What you describe, especially in terms of separate individuals in a family unit working together to represent the same name/purpose, is similar to what the Mormons believe. I don't want to put words in your mouth to say they're the same, because Mormons are strictly in denial polytheistic, saying that Christ is literally the born son of God and that the Holy Ghost is a spirit who never gained a body and acts as the personal messenger for God.
This is a different take on it, so, if there is more, then yes, I would appreciate you continuing.
@Drich
I don't understand this, I apologize. Do the three individuals of the godhead occupy the seat of "President/God" at the same time, like, simultaneously?
god is an office or title like supreme king and creator..
the bible describes three deity that hold this office.
Father
Son
Holy Spirit.
this makes one 'God.' one supreme source of power and authority, verses a pantheon of gods as it is with the hindu or greeks.
