Which is quite correct of course.
Where we differ is that they do not envisage the fact that God is Three in
One. By their reckoning Three cannot be One, three is three, one is one, and
anything else is just bad algebra (an Arabic word, by the way), and so when
Christ intercedes for us to the Father, they do not see that by praying to
Christ we are already praying to God, but see a simple extension of the
idolatry so widespread in other faiths.
