How do you explain the Trinity?

● Col 2:9 . . For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

The Greek word translated "Godhead" means divinity. But seeing as how it's
modified with the little Greek article teés, then what we're looking at here is
"the" divinity rather than nondescript divinity.

Well; when the Greek text puts it like that, then we must concede that in
Christ dwells all the fullness of Jehovah's divinity bodily.

Webster's defines "divinity" as the quality, or state, of being divine. Well
seeing as Christ is filled with all the fullness of Jehovah's divinity, then I'd
have to say that Christ is just as divine as Jehovah.

There is no question that God was in Christ.

2 Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Even though the fullness of Yahweh's divinity dwelt in Christ, does that mean Christ IS "the" divinity (deity)?

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee [Father] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 Cor 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Eph 4:
5 One Lord [Jesus Christ], one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

There is one God and there is one Lord. Jesus Christ is the man (John 8:40; Acts 2:22; Rom 5:15) God made both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).

I'm having trouble understanding how someone can be filled with all the
fullness of Jehovah's divinity per Col 2:9 without it making them a god, i.e. a
deity.

The thing is: I'm filled with all the fullness of my dad's humanity.
Consequently I am just as human as my dad. So if Christ is filled with all the
fullness of Jehovah's divinity, shouldn't that make Christ just as divine as
Jehovah?

Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

..something to think about.

The passsage below is deliberately misquoted. Watch for the revision.

● Eph 3:19 . . And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

* The Greek word translated "Godhead" in Col 2:9 is very unique in that it
appears nowhere else in the entire New Testament, viz: it never applies to
the rank and file, only to Christ. Same with the Greek word translated
"bodily" It too is unique as it appears nowhere else in the entire New
Testament. That suggests to me that Col 2:9 is saying something different
than Eph 3:19
