So Christ was God through some kind of hypostatic entanglement. Some sort of superposition. The analogy lies within the quantum world. There will be a distinct 3-ness to it.

Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Here is something you might understand. Maybe not, but you might.
Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, as a distinct Person, Romans 8:16.
Jesus explained that God the Father is Spirit, John 4:24.
The Apostle Paul also stated that a Christian is indwelt by the Spirit of God and is also identified as the Spirit of Christ, Romans 8:9.
So three distinct Persons of a common subtance by which they are the one and the same God.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

Is believing the same as understanding?

Now the three distinct Persons are that one. Each of those distinct Persons are the whole and not parts of the whole. They each have distinctions which makes them Persons not parts in that each are the whole. One cannot be without each other. God is the whole without parts.Last edited by 37818; 04-13-2021, 04:26 PM.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

The one identified as the Son of God can be said to be the reason for creation. And has always been the reason God has always been three distinct Persons.
