B) "How can you believe in the unity of God?"

Transcendent
Independent of. In the philosophy of religion, a transcendent God is one who is distinct and separate from the universe he created. This is contrasted with the concept of an immanent God, for example, in pantheism, where God is identical with his creation, or, to take a different example, in certain forms of humanism, in which God is identical with humankind. (G. W. F. Hegel argued such a thesis.)
Existence
Refers to the state or fact of being real or living, or of being present in a particular situation or under specific conditions.
Relate
To relate means to establish a connection or association between two or more entities, concepts, or people.
