God chooses the illogical 1

* Luís Alberto Alves

Man's mistake is to imagine that God works with logic, as in mathematics, where 2 + 2 is 4. It already begins in the Trinity: God + Holy Spirit + Jesus are one! Three are actually the same God. It is the only case in mathematics where 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 and not three, as dictated by the rule.

Take the case of the 12 apostles. All men full of faults and sins. Prosecutor Matthew was corrupt and a thief. John, later known as an apostle of love, was too nervous to ask Jesus to lift his hands to the heavens and rain over the city, whose inhabitants refused to hear his Words and stoned them.

After his death, Jesus Christ appeared for the first time to Mary Magdalene, a woman from whom he drove out seven demons that forced her to become a prostitute and then became one of her followers.

And what about Noah, man chosen to build the ark and deliver the family from death. From the root of it came Japheth, Shem, and Cam. Adept of the wine, he drank so much one night that he collapsed and had to be clothed by his children.
