1+1+1=1

thats a question i have asked a lot, if god is all powerful why cant he forgive without jesus
I just realized what i wrote lmfao
And wouldn't it be polytheistic since Jesus is also worshipped
lol yep
@SUPER GAMMING WARLORD MEGA MAN I enjoy talking to you guys too. Thanks.
@SUPER GAMMING WARLORD MEGA MAN the trinity questions are very good ones and I find that is the element of Christianity Muslims are most troubled by.
So I agree that 1+1+1 =3.
However it's interesting to note that 1x1x1=1.
Now consider that a triangle has 3 points and 3 sides while remaining essentially 1 triangle.
I see
so it is not viewed as polytheism because Jesus pbuh is one with God
right?
@SUPER GAMMING WARLORD MEGA MAN it is not considered polytheism because there is only one God as these two diagrams show
You could think of how a human has a mind, body and soul but is still one person
I see
I don't deny that the doctrine of the trinity can be confusing and strange in some ways.
But it is not as hard to conceive as one might imagine at first.
It even explains how the three components can be equal and yet the father is still higher than the son and holy spirit. All three points on a triangle are the same but one is above the other two
Father God is above the son and holy spirit hence jesus saying "I and the father are one" but also "the father is greater than I"
but isnt god all powerful?
Yes
God is all powerful
In Islam and Christianity
i dont believe that
You don't believe God is all powerful?
Do you believe in God at all?
if god is all powerfull why does he need jesus?
I'm not sure if we would say God "needs" Jesus per se
but god needed jesus to forgive us right?
Scripturally Jesus always existed with God and as God since the beginning
therefore god didnt have the power to forgive us, and wasnt all powerfull
Oof
but jesus neede to go to earth and die, to forgive us for not following the ten commandments
Debunked
The usual Christian belief is that sin required some sort of atonement and Jesus provided that atonement
Basically
for some reason god cant just snap his fingers and forgive us
