and God the Holy Ghost” is a flagrant denial of the unity
of God, and an audacious confession in three imperfect
beings who, unitedly or separately, cannot be true God.
Mathematics as a positive science teaches us that a
unit is no more nor less than one; that one is never equal
to one plus one plus one; in other words, one cannot be
equal to three, because one is the third of the three. In the
same way, one is not equal to a third, and vice versa, three
are not equal to one, nor can a third be equal to a unit.
The unit is the basis of all numbers, and a standard for the
measurements and weights of all dimensions, distances,
quantities and time. In fact, all numbers are aggregates of
the unit 1. Ten is an aggregate of so many equal units of
the same kind.
Those who maintain the unity of God in the trinity of
persons tell us “each person is omnipotent, omnipresent,
eternal and perfect God; yet there are not three omnipotent,
omnipresent, eternal and perfect Gods, but one omnipotent
… God!” If there is no sophistry in the above reasoning
then we shall present this “mystery” of the churches by
an equation:-
1 God = 1 God + 1 God + 1 God; therefore, 1 God= 3
Gods. In the first place, one god cannot equal three gods,
but only one of them. Secondly, since you admit each
person to be perfect God like His two associates, your
conclusion that 1 + 1 + 1= 1 is not mathematical, but an
absurdity!
You are either too arrogant when you attempt to prove
that three units equal one unit; or too cowardly to admit
that three ones equal three ones. In the former case, you
can never prove a wrong solution of a problem by a false
process; and in the second, you have not the courage to
confess your belief in three gods.
