First off its not biblical. "Trinity" is not even mentioned in the Bible.
Besides, you just said that GOD is the Father and that Jesus is the son and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit and then preceeded to say "there is still only one God" and I thought the Father was God.....🙄
God doesn't have different personalities. Thats just wrong all in itself.

It's not wrong at all. I think you just don't quite understand the concept of the Holy Trinity. Allow me to try to explain it.
The Holy Trinity is God, but three parts of him. There is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's much like an egg. You have the shell, the yolk, and the egg white, but it's still all just one egg. Just like you have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They're all parts of God.

Ya see, thats mistake number one. There is no "Trinity". If God intended this to be taught he would've mentioned it.
There isn't three parts to God. God is filling out three seperate roles. Just like my dad. He's a father, he's a son, and he's a husband. But he is still ONE person. Trinitarians basically believe GOD is a race and the Father, Son, and the Holy spirit occupy that race and are co-eternal and co-equal.
God isn't a race. God isn't made up of three different person but is merely playing three different roles.
God is the Father....one being with a body.
Christ is the Son...one being with a body.
The Holy Ghost is a Spirit...one being without a body
Three beings...united in purpose, one with the Word...all under the umbrella of 'God.'
Also if the Son is created in the image of the Father, statements of being the same are based upon their similarity, ala...whoever has seen me has seen the Father, etc.
The term trinity does indeed not appear in the bible. It did not exist until Tertullian coined the term in the early third century.
According to modalism, the three parts of the trinity are not separate persons. Instead, they are more like three successive modes in which a single god has manifested himself.
