What are our objections to the Monopersonal God. Is one ;If there is only a person he can’t have love as nature, and his love is depend on the creation, he become dependent of world to express his love. And a Monopersonal God can’t be the source of love.
 
God is One but Three Coeternal Consubstantial Persons or Hypostases—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
 
The first & primary love relationships exist in our “God in three Persons”
A 1Person God would have to create someone to love, whereas the
Divine Trinity is sharing / inviting us into these communions.
“God, the First Family” I like to think
 
I don’t know that such would hold as necessary. We don’t believe in a Trinity because a single person God would be impossible. We believe because it’s what God has revealed Himself and what the Church has always taught.

The Trinity was revealed at the baptism of Christ. We have the direction to do baptism in the Gospel, Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

I do believe this is a valid conclusion. If God is love (as he has revealed to us), then it does seem that God would be incomplete in himself without an object of his love. Since God cannot be incomplete in himself, then it does seem to follow that God must contain within himself an object of his love, and that object must also be God. This doesn’t argue for the Trinity, but it does argue for a multi-person God. I’d assume that Thomas Aquinas has something to say on this subject.
 
It is not true. However, it can’t be ruled out as a logical impossibility using only natural theology. We only know the Trinity is true because of revelation: scripture and tradition.
