WARNING:BASIC understanding of philosophical concepts and terms is needed to understand this post.
God is necessary with no accidents,that mean if anything were like him he could be another way and would be accidental/incidental,his peculiar consciousness is necessary aswell if it were shared he wouldn't be necessary but composed of a unique factor and a shared factor.so no other
god but one can exist.
the peculiar identity of God is necessary so if there were another peculiar God one of them would be accidental as the peculiar identity or personhood of the first is necessary and thus identical with necessariness so any necessary being would have his peculiar identity.
a necessary being has everything about him as necessary,so his peculiar consciousness is necessary as part of any necessary being,so his peculiar identity is necessary for any necessary being which means there can only be him as necessary being.if God could be another but similar peculiar and unique identity he would be accidental,so there can be only one necessary being.something necessary in itself is something identical and simple within itself.
necessariness cannot be composed of two or three persons,it must be identical with one person or it is composed of shared and unique natures and composed of multiple factors,meaning it is accidental and not necessary,thus only one person could be necessary in being.that which is necessary must be entirely uncomposed,or it is dependant on the parts to make the resultant whole.that which is truly whole and necessary cannot be made up of any parts.uncomposition means necessariness and vice versa,so necessariness cannot be composed of multiple factors or persons,it must be identical with one.
Neoplatonism makes the most sense,not any religion that teaches God is composed or is composed of different acts and cognitions.
i take Ibn A'rabi's version of sufi islam to be the refinement of monistic neoplatonism of the greeks to something more akin to emanationism which is more logically coherent.
