One God is one divinity, the use of the word “person” in trying to explain the Trinity is a poor human expression to explain God’s reality and that BradtheImpaler is what you refuse to accept
But I didn't come up with the term "person/persons" in this matter, Trinitarians did. If it's a "poor human expression" why do you insist on it? Is your purpose to intentionally mislead?
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have different roles yet are ONE God, united and unchangeable throughout eternity past and future
How are THEY "one God"? You only need one "HE" to constitute one divinity. If I describe the many gods of a polytheistic religion, I would, of course, refer to them as "they". You say your God is a "They" yet is only one God. It's self-contradictory nonsense.
