To your first argument Muslimah, if one person of the Trinity is missing, God is no longer existent. The theologian James M. Arlandson states the reason for this to be that the Trinity <i>“is not one-third, plus one-third, plus one-third. In addition, the three persons are not added on to God’s essence or being, as if they are tacked on to the outside of God. Rather, all three persons share the same essence, fully God in one being, in total and perfect unity.”</i>
I will get back to your and wel_mel_2’s other opinions in due course.
