U
I fully believe in the one triune God..
Father is God, Holy Spirit is God, Jesus is God.. co-equal, co-eternal.
I just find it hard to get my head around the term 'persons'.. because like you say.. I am thinking of the material realm. So persons, becomes 'seperate beings'..
So I think it is helpful to think that it is the spiritual realm and so God can be 3 'persons' without them being actually seperate, distinct beings.
I think I just find the terminology hard to comprehend.

If you do some research you will find the word persons was initially "persona" coming from Latin meaning different aspects, which eventually became persons.
I agree persons does a huge disservice, and the idea of separate has also been stretched by the use of persons as a descriptor.
