So using P for person, you get 1P + 1P + 1P = 3P Which is what the doctrine of the Trinity states. It also states that the 3 Persons = 1 God. They are separate and distinct individuals who can interact with each other, which are equally and fully of the same nature and substance of 1 God.
And it is still an incoherent explanation. How does one personality inhabit three bodies -- well, two bodies, and, I don't know, some misty fog or whatever this Holy Spirit thingy is?
Oh, and while we're at it, we'll need to define the differences between "person" and "god".
Argumentum ex culo.
Ohhh... can always rely on bringing out the fallacies checklist. I was making statements... particularly about math though.
When speaking of "person" in regards to the trinity, we are speaking of three distinct consciences (self identity). Think of this as a "who" statement.
When speaking of the essence or nature (being)... think of this a "what" statement. It is the substance of what makes God... God.
The three persons are all equally, fully, and in unity one God.
And it is not speaking about bodies... God is spirit and omnipresent.
