Christians how can 1+1 = 1 and 1+1+1 = 1?

Question

If Jesus is fully human and fully god how can he not be 2 people?

And how can Jesus, the holy sprite and God not be 3 people.

Does that mean a full human is only 1/6 of a person?

I'm just getting confused by your logic.

Answer 1

one family :)

Answer 2

1 X 1 X 1 = 1

Answer 3

You have made more sense in one sentence than many clergy have in tons of books trying to explain the trinity.

God of the Bible makes sense. An individual of order not chaos. The trinity makes absolutely no sense at all. The trinity, if it were true, would make all the Bible useless.

From the first prophesy in Genesis until the end of Revelations depends on the death of the perfect human, Jesus. For the sake of justice, a perfect life must be offered in balance for Adam's throwing away his in order to buy back the human race.

Who then resurrected Jesus? If God died, who could resurrect him? If Jesus did not die, then him serving as a ransom did not happen. So the human race is screwed!

Clearly, Jesus and his Father are separate individuals. Holy spirit is not even alive, not a creature, but God's power in action. If you get hit by a truck, you would swear it was alive too.

Answer 4

Jesus has both a human nature and a divine nature. That's how he can be fully God and fully human. Just as people have both a physical nature and a non-physical nature (a body and a soul/mind), and yet each of us is only one person.

Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Father ARE three persons.

A full human is 1 whole person. God is three persons.

Answer 5

You won't listen to this anyways but here it goes:
1- Jesus is fully human ( a person) and fully god (a god) - therefore he is one person that's like you are saying 1+a=1 obviously concluding god is not a person: HE IS A GOD!
2- Same reasoning- Jesus( a person), the holy spirit (like messenger of god(an angelish thing)) and GOD(a god)
so___1+a+k=1 for a and k are not people

since your obviously atheist this won't convince you and no one ever will so what is the point in positing this.

Answer 6

Look at an apple. There is 1 and only 1 apple. There are, however, also the rind or skin, the flesh, and the core. 3 parts that make up 1 apple, similar to 3 parts making up one God.

As far as 1 +1 = 1, the person that mentioned the human and divine natures got that one right.

Answer 7

The same reason that God cannot fully cover a sheet of paper with circles without them overlapping - even though he is omnipotent and can do anything!

Answer 8

logic only exists in our minds, just like math, and reason.

There is nowhere in the universe where we can tangibly grasp it.

Logic dictates that logic doesn't exist. It's abstract.

You fail to get the point of infinity, sho.

Assuming God is infinite, he's more than capable of being a man and a God simultaneously.

Answer 9

it is just different titles for the same person...
However... all can change if you dont acknowledge him being a god, or spirit... 1+1+1=0
what the real equation comes out to be (words in a book)+(words in a book)+(words in a book)= (complete bull****)

Answer 10

you have your math wrong when it concerns God. It isn't 1+1+1, It's 1x1x1=1 IHS Jim

Answer 11

Bro. Picture it like this. You're a man right? One being. But nonetheless you can be a father, a husband, and a son at the same time.

I will be honest with you though. I do not have all the answers in Christianity, which is why I lean more on faith than anything else. Without faith, all hope is lost.
