 Can't be both, that is a contradiction in terms.

Something that is one is not composed of parts, and something that is composed of parts is not one.

Deny that, and you have to throw out all of logic.

Y'all are denying the law of non-contradiction. 
 you can relate infinity and nothing

but you can only relate finitude with other finitude

when you relate finitude with infinity or nothing you get infinity or nothing, they are special identities

they even can be categorised: countable and uncountable

ironcially, "real" numbers are literally uncountable

when it comes down to it, any number you can represent is finite and singular, and thus it can be related to any other finite and singular value

infinity and nothing are qualities, not numbers

it's not that God is not composed of many parts, it's that He's composed of infinite parts, so you can sit there listing them until you drop dead, and still not even touch a fraction because there is no fraction of infinity 
 it's not that it can't be both

you just need infinite time and energy to equate them

there is no end to the counting of the qualities and quantities of God 
 Stretch your mind! You can do it 💆 
 add more time, reduce the infinitude 
 finitely
