This theory leans towards making all three parts into one person. It looks like Jesus Christ, the holy spirit, and God the father are exactly the same, God just does things in different dimensions.
NO
I had several small defenses, but I only remember one at this time:
Our idea of 'person' is limited to a few dimensions. God as a whole is more than just one 'person'. He is big enough that he can have multiple 'persons' that describe him. Perhaps he is so big, that these persons can even have a command hierarchy and different interests. (I will make a note later concerning 1 Tim 2:3-6) We can't understand how that works, but that's because we're created beings, and pretty small at that.
By the way, if you are concerned that I'm labeling God the father as the big multi-person God and disrupting the balance, be at ease. We can label him as the 'justice and holy' God. We will give him the table surface on which the book sits. (see BIG THEORY)
For a better visualization of the open book idea, use a race car maybe. [because a cylinder looks like a rectangle from two axis] Jesus Christ can be the profile, the Holy spirit can be the top or bottom view, and God the father can be back and front view with the engine and the front hood.
In regard to other names of God, here is an example. I came across a psalm recently [20] with "may the name of the God of Jacob protect you." so, the face/name/facet/dimension/view of God we call "God of Jacob", is the promise keeper protector God.
