The Bible isn’t the literal word of God, but is doctrinally infallible by the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
A couple things:
John 10:30-38: I and my Father are one.
There is, at least in Christian circles, only one God. There can only be one omnipotent God. He is everything else by default. The Holy Spirit must be some personification of God, yet still God. I mean God the Father, God The Son and God the Holy spirit. God being the common thread. I’m not sure how that all works tho.I get the egg thing but usually one says ‘egg yolk, egg white, egg shell’. Plus when we are talking about an egg, we realize it’s not a senescent being that’s been around for infinity, that claims to be God. Kind of the same, but kind of not.
Additionally, speaking to the bible not being the literal word of God, I think a profound number of Christians would love to have word with you. If it’s not the literal word of God, then how do you test it’s accuracy. Lots of religious texts have been very well preserved. If the bible isn’t the lieral word of God, then maybe you don’t really know whether your future is in eternal reward.
However, if you do know, then I’d be keen to know how you know. Because so far, no one I’ve ever talked to has come up with a good solid reason why they know sans circular reasoning. Also, what is your theology, your religious background,
I didn’t downvote you either. I think I was agreeing with you.
The Trinity cannot be explained by metaphors. Seems you’ve discovered that. It’s unlike any created thing.

I believe Jesus was a historical person and actually rose from the dead, and is in fact God. So I believe everything He taught is correct, as well as those He ordained (His apostles) and those He referred to (the old testament)
Also, what is your theology
Reformed
Your religious background
I was only baptised last year. So still learning.
I didn’t downvote you. Homie don’t do that.
