Many people, denominations, and cults fail to fully understand the Biblical concept of the trinitarian nature of God. Generally, these people swing too far to one side or the other. They either think that God is just one person with many different characteristics, or that the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are completely independent of each other. Both of these views are inaccurate.
If we read the Bible and take what we read seriously, we must not fall into either one of these extremes. Rather, we must try to remain "at the center of Biblical tension."
As Wayne Grudem put it so simply in his Systematic Theology:
2. Each person is fully God.
By definition, this is a paradox. It is illogical. If something is illogical, isn't it, by definition, false? So how can this be true?
