Well you've just described a good example.
If Christians can believe in a holy trinity concept then it's not a world away from the Hindus and their belief system of a few beings coming from one "God". Separate elements but all essentially one.
But, again, this is going back to interpretation and culture. The idea of a "God" being a one person thing is kind of simplistic. The name itself means something different to everyone.
One religion can respect another cultures interpretation of the same thing.
