Your notion of monotheism is not Judaism's notion of monotheism.

Jewish monotheism was a long time developing.
Yes, the Jews only knew one God, but did recognize other gods such as the Baals even in the post Davidic era.

Christianity believes in "One God". One indivisible God. That God is also Father Son and Spirit is by definition a "mystery" of faith. One that requires no explanation. (Which is to say if I tried, I'd probably make some sort of heretical mistake in my explanation.)

To try to open the mystery of the Trinity requires us to fall back to human or scientific explanations that are inadequate to the task.
