(x-5)(x-4)=0

one variable, one equation

x is both 4 and 5

how can one variable and one equation have two answers?

How can one God be three in one?

"how can one variable and one equation have two answers?"

what are you talking about? it's math, an equation can easily have multiple possible solutions. e.g. x-x=0

That is true but in it's current form it is impossible to distinguish which the answer is, in essence, both 4 and 5; nevertheless, whatever faults are to be found in the analogy are due to faults in our ability to comprehend by pure logic and not faults in God's indescribable nature

what the fuck does that equation have to do with god? nothing in the "god is 3" has anything to do with "x = both 1 and 3." It's more like H20 = gas (father), liquid (son), solid (holy ghost).

I'm an atheist and even I can see that. You cannot come up with cutesy logical arguments either for or against a particular conception of God.

I take it that you've never heard atheist or others argue against christianity as though christians don't understand simple math and that three can not be one...

If one variable can have multiple distinct values then how much more

so may God the ineffable

But I don't even think that's really an issue. See the analogy above. I was raised catholic. It's sort of a made-up problem.

H2o cannot be ice vapor and liquid at once

in the equation the variable is always indistinguishable (of course the analogy in the OP cannot fully or completely accurately describe

God's

i agree it is debatable. too debatable for something so important. it should line be 1. instead you get loose and vague implications in most of the gospels and contradictions like this:

10:18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one--God.

15:34 -

At three o'clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani." This means, "My God, my God, why have you left me alone?" F229
