Divine Simplicity for Dummies
Can someone explain what is meant by Divine Simplicity in Christian theology?
From my research, it is summarised as God being identical to God's attributes, but I really don't understand it to be honest.

I recently watched part of a debate between Michael Jones (IP) and Orthodox Muslim(Libyano), and in the debate, Libyano argues as follows:
the New Testament uses typologies in the Old Testament as prophecies of Jesus - (especially Matthew); the Nazarene prophecy and the betrayal typology from the Psalms for example - regardless of the context of the passage.
Therefore, Muslims can confidently point at the Son of Man being the Praised/Glorified One as a typological prophecy of Mohammed.
I think the Son of Man typology for Mohammed is DOA because the Son of Man is deity for one; however, I think Libyano makes a strong case that there shouldn't be double standards:
Since Jesus could be prophesied by typology, Mohammad too could be.
IP rebutted by saying it was circular for Muslims to do so, but I don't see why it is, and how the circularity rebuttal strengthens the NT's case.
How would you respond to this argument?
