1x1x1 = 1 for the trinity argument doesn’t make sense.

I know this might seem like im denying the trinity at first hand but hear me out!

The 1x1x1 = 1 argument for the trinity just doesn’t cut it for me, you can add unlimited amounts of ones and still end up equal to one, i know thats not really a great argument, but idk it feels like by assigning all the persons in the trinity the value of one, and then 3 ones still equal to one 1 (yes i know how multiplication works), kinda feels a little unconsidered.

I just dont see how it works in the trinity, where god the father, the son, and holy spirit are three different personas, or more like the same god split into different attributes, the source(God), his word and his spirit. Im not really sure im making myself clear.. but to sum it up i think the 1x1x1 = 1 equation kinda misrepresents the trinity.

Instead, personally, i use the

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3,

thus to say one God split into three different personas or hypostases, (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3), but together those three personas make one god 3/3 = 1, so you have the three personas of God all of them being 1/3 of the trinity, Jesus is 1/3, Holy ghost is 1/3, and the Father is 1/3, whom togethee make 3/3 when u add them up, and 3/3 is a whole, thats to say the same as 1.

Idk if im reaching here, ofcourse i might just as equally be wrong, and if so please correct me!

May the lord Jesus be with you!❤️
