Because that is what Jesus said.Why do we christians say Jesus is God himself?
John 10:30
“I and my Father are one.”

Sounds like a good way to express Trinity concept. I would use both understandings as well.In other words: the word can be understood as a unit of 1, but also a unity
of thought and purpose.
Oh so we have another ANTI-TRINITARIAN laboring hard to disprove the Trinity! More foolishness with the veneer of learning.This would make God a Trinity - God is not a trinity.

Notice, in the Greek manuscripts we do not find the Greek word “ ONE “ in Mat 18:5
The Trinitarian Translators have changed the Greek word “ εν - IN “ into the word “ ONE / 1 “
in Mat 18:5
και ος εαν δεξηται παιδιον τοιουτον εν επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται
can you please point out in this manuscript where we find the Greek word
εἷς - one
the word " εἷς - one " simply is nowhere in Mat 18:5
which Bible Translation and which Lexicon are You using?in Mat 18:5
και ος εαν δεξηται παιδιον τοιουτον εν επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται
can you please point out in this manuscript where we find the Greek word
εἷς - one
the word " εἷς - one " simply is nowhere in Mat 18:5
it is most likely in the Strongs Concordance for this verse but the Strongs Concordance was not made to reflect the manuscript
the Strongs Concordance was made to support the translation and not a part of the manuscript original wording - but only how the translators worded the translation
this threw me off for a few months when I began studying many years ago. taking a deeper search into the MANUSCRIPTS is the original message . i completely understand why you would think this. I did very same exact same thing -
i totally relate to what you are saying,
in your own view and words, who is Father/Word/Holy Spirit, to you?.
the Greek word " εν in / inside " pertains to material, physical, literal objects and beings, to be inside something and this word also pertains to sentence structure - by using " in ' for purposes of sentences, as using this word " in " to focus and narrow upon a single / singular specific. point or component or context within a paragraph or sentence.
we would say - In this _ or _ within that is my point or the importance - and in this manner was the word " in " used in ancient Greek to use this word for indicating a singular narrowing and a focusing of importance within a sentences conversation - simply to denote a one singular highlight or significant point or element of a sentence within the sentence.
in other words - I would say this and say that and also say all of this too but - " within / in " - this ( AS - in this alone } _ is the meaning and point and singular , one importance.
I believe this is how the word HEN was used and it was not written by a character or accent marking but understood to those knowledgeable in Greek sentence and that that structuring did not exist until the 2nd century AD when accents and breathings appeared sporadically in papyri
made by Trinitarians making copies of the original Greek manuscripts - as they abused and over - exaggerated the concept to wile molding faith instead of translating
