That is kinda OK if it works for you. It may be simplistic since there is really no way a human mind can properly assimilate this.

I tend to remember that the Lord God likes 'threes' and it can be observed all around us. So I think that there are three distinct functional Persons of the God-Head.

Just remember that beings we refer to as angels are God's heavenly spirits. The word 'angel' is just a function and means messenger.

A human mind can't assimilate that three persons are of one mind/will/cohere?

Yes, however, more correct, our relationship is similar to that of the Father and Son, ...it existed way before we did, ...it's an example for us. 

Lord bless

Not according to Scripture.    

Yahuweh and Yahushua have been echad eternally without beginning,  and are echad without end. 

The flesh has a beginning and an end,  in earthly fathers and sons.   Also,  earthly fathers are wicked (yet  may give good gifts to their sons in spite of that).   Earthly sons are wicked too,   usually.

Remember that in Scripture it is written that Yahuweh (the Creator) IS SPIRIT ,

and it is written that Yahuweh (the Creator) is not a man (not human - not a person).

Thus,  man has certainly made a mess of things in the last 2000 years by religion.

Also,

it is written,  the normal (natural) mind (of man) CANNOT grasp (cannot understand) spirituals.

So you were unable to comprehend this sentence: "Three persons are of one mind exactly"?

It is like how a human the son is the son of the human the father. So, yes I would say it is like this. 

But I think every Christian teaching and scripture has a love meaning for us to live. 

So, we understand the Trinity by how God means this to help us find out how to love. 

"Father" and "Son" are Persons of family tenderly caring and sharing love. God is not called the Judge and Prosecutor and Bailiff, or the Bank President and Bank Manager and Bank Teller, or the General and Lieutenant and Sargent.

So, we know the Trinity by living in Their way of loving. And God's word has scriptures about how to become and how to relate in Their love. More and more, we understand the Trinity, by living the way Their love has us relating.

The Trinity is as follows, correct?

First Person: God the Father

Second Person: God the Son (Jesus)

Third Person: God the Holy Spirit

When Jesus is referred to as the Son of God it means Jesus is the Son of God the Father and the second person of the Trinity, correct?

That is true.
