Why does christianity consider Jesus(pbuh) as God?
if Jesus was (is) a human like us?
are christians monotheist while they believe in three Gods?
is there more than one God for christians?
what does Jesus do that he is God or like God?
please don't say that 3=1 this statement dosn't justify a wise guy.

1 × 1 × 1 = 1
1 × 1 = 1
1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1
1 ÷ 1 = 1
√1 = 1
-e^(π i) = 1

None of these statements by themselves illustrate anything relevant to this debate.

If you are using 1 × 1 × 1 = 1 to try to find some kind of meaning to the dogma of trinity, you have to further explain what you mean. When I see that equation, I immediately think of dimensions. We often multiply three linear dimensions to produce volume. So height × width × depth = volume. But that analogy just does not work with the idea of three persons in one God. One of the dimensions of God became human and died for our sins and the other two dimensions of God brought him back to life? Nonsense. Please help me to understand your analogy better.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Dah? It didn't make sense when "Al" was writing it either.
I think it is something he learned in Sunday school about the same time they were learning multiplication. Just a quess on my part.
When "Al" used it it was to describe the trinity. I am sure "1John2_26" is thinking the same thing.

It doesnt stop here.

Christians also believe Jesus to be full 100% human and full 100% god at the same time.

Yeah, right❗ And the holy spirit has a cat at home that is colored all black and all white 🐱
