I wonder how many Trinitarians agreed?

My question here is this...if a "he" is a person why do Trinitarians so often say "reveals HIMSELF in three distinct persons"? as though God is one person revealed in three persons? Why not say "reveals itself"? Or why say that at all since revealing might be best said to be an attribute of a person....why not say "Father, Son and Holy Ghost reveals themselves as God"?

If they want to be consistent, then maybe it should be worded like this: In the One True God, who is revealed in three distinct persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Three being one and equal and eternally self existent as the Great "I AM".

No matter how you slice it, it doesn't make sense. Three distinct persons who can each say "I AM", but yet there is only one "I AM"

Do you notice how they also use the words, one and God, with multiple meanings in the same two sentences? Ambiguity and equivocation. The One True God....One as in Number, God as in nature.... and then...one and equal...one as in unity...and then God the Father.....God as in identity! It makes your head spin.
