Don't forget the old testament phrase, God of gods, meaning a plethora of gods exist; however, in the new testament there is only one God, three persons--one God.
I forgot about God of gods.
I personally think it should not be translated as 'persons', because it's "persona", as in, attitudes and roles (like an actor). It's translated as 'persons' in English because of poor translation from Latin. It's hypostasis in Greek, meaning reality or "person" (implying roles), and persona in Latin.

Tell that to some Christians though. Even the Trinity has changed from its original belief over time. :D

YHWH is actually I am, who am. It's too bad that we all can't say that due to superstition. How many people here can actually say, I think therefore I am, who am?

I am, who am. Don't believe me? I just am, who is. I have a name but I know that I am, who am. No one wants to connect to God like that...No, that is God's name. I am, who am. I think therefore I am.
What? :D
I use YHWH because that's the correct transliteration of it from Hebrew. Yod-hey-waw (or vav)-hey, and I personally find it better than writing the JudæoChristian God's name, out of respect.
