Is God like his creation, or totally different?
The trinitarian view of God is that he is one being, three persons, so a little of both.
Many people, when trying to understand God as a trinity, make the mistake of assuming that since they are just one person in one being, that God has to be the same way.
The problem with that is that, without realizing it, they are measuring God by using themselves as the standard, and comparing themselves to God, and making an idol for themselves instead of accepting the God who revealed himself.
Since God made man in his image, God is like humans in some ways, but in other ways he is very different from us.
Does 1+1=1=1?
You are likely to by asked this question by Muslims in the topic of the trinity comes up.
First of all, the plus (+) operator only works on things of the same kind, like apples. But adding apples to oranges does not make sense, unless you are adding fruits in general.
Another answer is to point out that ∞ + ∞ = ∞.
