It doesn´t make any sense . Its a paradox and it doesn´t even appear in the Bible.

I like when someone tries to say you dont understand it but they pretend they do while in reality they also dont have idea what they are talking about.

What is your opinion on this.

It's basically three people making up one entity. These three people together represent God. I'm not sure how that works in any way shape or form, but apparently it does.

.There's father God (Creator & All powerful & knowing)

.Then Jesus: God's son and his right hand, who sacrificed his life for our sins, so for whoever accepts him will be welcomed in Heaven.

The Holy Ghost: A piece of God who comes to whoever accepts Jesus. Whoever is saved and accepts Jesus willingly, will life an eternity in Heaven.

The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

They are the same person in different forms. Each one is distinct and does not share commonalities with other forms, but all are essentially an incarnation of God.

Holy Trinity:

The Father = Past, The Son = Present, The Holy Spirit = Future.

All of these are the components of God = Reality.

There, if you aren't religious, at least that translation should make sense.

Several questions: Why did Jesus die for our sins? Is God, the creator of everything in existence, simply unable to forgive us if we sincerely repent? And why is it important to accept Jesus? Surely we must be more concerned about accepting God, since he (if you believe in him) is the one that will judge us.​

People say it's like Ice, Water and Steam. Also I don't know if asking for logic in the bible is the best way to go about it.

Not quite. The orthodox Trinitarian doctrine states that God is one by nature (ousía) existing in three persons (hyposthases), namely the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
In other words, one is what God is, while three is who God is.

Given the distinction between nature and personhood, every single person of the Trinity is God. The Father is fully God, the Son is fully God, and the Holy Spirit is fully God. They are not three different gods however, because their division is only due to them being different persons, but they share the same, unique divine nature. So, this is what those among you who say that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are "pieces" of God got wrong.

What about the ice/water/steam example? This is an example that has been used in history, but not to describe the Trinity, but to describe an ancient heresy called modalism/sabellianism. It claims that God is only one person who changes its "modes" over time. In substance, God was the Father during the age of the Old Testament, the Son during Jesus' life, and the Holy Spirit after Jesus' resurrection.
This is not the Trinity however, because under a Trinitarian theology Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not "modes" who change over time, but real persons who share one divine nature.

It's blasphemy.
Dude, we've never interacted much but I'm fairly sure that you are too smart to use one-liners and non sequiturs just to discredit an ideology or a worldview.
Because conversely, I am reasonably certain that the arguments you would present if I asked you to justify such a heavy accusation are a far cry from being strong once you scratch the surface.

Plenty of interpretations out there

Mind, body and soul being one of them. If all three are in tune you'll get to the kingdom of god/your own uncorrupted joyous self.
