1 + 1 + 1 = 11

Richirich713:
1 x 1 x 1 = 1

Fash20:
why multiplying

Richirich713:


Becuz 1 + 1 + 1 implies trinitarians are claiming three Gods are one God

Fash20:


You Christians say that God the father and God the son and God the Holy Spirit is still God.

But in mathematics "and" mean addition.

Maybe the gods are not equal for instance they are 0.5,0.2&0.3

Seun:
That's base 2 arithmetic. What the OP is saying doesn't really make any sense.

Logical Understanding of Trinity (Elohim) - Establishing the Doctrine of Godhead

1 + 1 + 1 = ?

The answer to the above depends on the perspective you turn to it and the method you decide to use. If you decide to use regular arithmetic, you will get straight answer of 3.
But not all maths problem can solve using regular arithmetic. For example 1 + 1 = 10 under binary operation and our answer canNOT be 2 because we are operating under different circumstance.

1 + 1 + 1 = ?

Under Logic Operation, Just as Computer Processor will process it, the answer would not to be equal 3 but 1. Why 1 ask seun he is a programmer too, or may be thats how Logic Operation Works.

Hence I will say understand the concept of Trinity require that You use spiritual understanding the sixthsense, not your usual thinking, no you cant, even if you are a Christian You may still not understand if you dont have the Holy Spirit to bring down the revelation to you, you can do noting but to accept it by faith. Hence you cant use carnality to understand spiritual and the gateway to spiritual Christianity is the Holy Spirit.

When you have the Holy Ghost in you, then you have more than what it takes to understand it. By this time its no longer by faith but by revelation and you get the true picture of the Godhead (Elohim)

Stay Blessed and be ye filled with the Holy Ghost Maranatha

Christians do say there's three, but by three they mean three persons, not three Gods.

Christianity subscribes to monotheism, there cannot be three Gods.

Not surprise, but expected

The OP is making perfect sense:
1. Base ten Arithmetic:
1+1+1=3
2. Base two Arithmetic:
1+1+1=11
3. Logical or Boolean Arithmetic:
1+1+1=1

Although, for me Trinity is best understood from the Physics point of view and not mathematics.

In Physics, we have
Wave:Particle duality of matter
Or
Mass:Energy equivalence

In simple terms, Mass and Energy are different forms of the same thing. Yet both are distinctively different in nature

Energy and Mass are different forms of the same thing.
Yet both are distinctively different in nature

Its like the more you look, the more confounded you are. Example: an electron is both a wave and a particle but a wave is distinctively different from a particle.

Trinity is duality in three dimentions.

Christianity is Polytheistic. It is as polytheistic as can get.

Richirich713:


Not true, the trinity is one God co-existing as three persons. Monotheism is not Unitarianism. Monotheism is the doctrine or belief that there is one being who is God. Unitarianism is the belief that God is one person.

Trinitarians believe there is one God(making them monotheists), they just don't agree with unitarians who say God is one person.

DeepSight:


Stop talking arrant nonsense. Any religion which speaks of three persons as its deity is not monotheistic. Period.

Richirich713:


That's on ur definition on monotheism, you've added
Unitarianism to the definition of monotheism.

DeepSight:


No i have not.

Mono means single. The trinity espouses three distinct persons. They even have different wills as shown by the prayer in Gethsrmane.

In fact it is declared that the son is not omniscient but only the father is. This shows different persons.

No way this is monotheism.
