Thank you 
I am glad you like it Some have complained against it saying it is modalism but that is not true, because in modalism, rather than being eternally co-existent, the three Beings of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are manifest consecutively and never simultaneously. I plainly say the one is different persons all at the same time

Actually the scripture I was referring unto was Luke 4:17.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written", whereat it continues with "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, ..."
Which is in context to the scripture seeing that it is written in John 7:15 "And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

To me a recepient is who is receives something from asking. There are also observers. But if I give X to Mr B and 10 people watch, only one is the recipient. If Mr B asked a question, to me, he is the recipient of the answer even if 10 people watch.
But that’s my personal view. I don’t consider just anyone who reads what I write as a recipient. Some even read it and don’t receive a word. Do you see what I mean?

Yes, I understand what you mean, but on a site such as this, I see the recipient as anyone who reads the response. Of course reading it is not the same as receiving it, for receiving connotes understanding and acceptance. I make such a response as I did originally with the hope that such a question will even in some small way help someone, anyone, more firmly grasp that which we cannot fully comprehend in the first place. It is not meant to be absolute, but to inspire reflection that may yield insight and allay doubts as to how some things can be when they seemingly defy human logic.

A man can be a husband, father, son, brother, cousin and uncle all at one as you correctly stated, but he is still one person. God is NOT one person according to the trinity but three persons, those separate persons are Father and Son towards each other which means God is his own Father and own Son.
Furthermore, you cannot be your own Father, nor can you be your own son, so depsite one human person being able to be a husband, father, son and uncle, cousin and brother all at once he cannot be his OWN husband, his own father, his own son etc etc, and there lies your problem and the problem with the trinity, God is his own Father and Son, this is impossible. Thus, your explanations fail.
