If this is your basic attitude, then you're going to have a frustrating Christian life, I think. Is it not possible to believe in the Trinity without completely understanding it? Why must you demand that you completely understand something before you believe it? I use electricity all the time and believe that it does what it does, but I can't say that I understand what electricity is.
It was one of the early church fathers, Ambrose, I think, who said, "I believe in order that I may understand". When it comes to spiritual things, this is the proper attitude for a Christian to have. I don't have to completely understand everything the Bible teaches in order to believe. Remember, we walk by faith, not by sight.
