I do not understand why you keep saying Christianity is not monotheism.As I continue my readings, I came across a word I was not familiar with. Henotheism. Many gods, but recognize a top god to worship.
That’s Christianity. Or it could even be considered polytheistic.
It certainly is a far cry from monotheistic.
Well, let’s see. What deities do they worship or believe in?I do not understand why you keep saying Christianity is not monotheism.
I don't think you understand the trinity. It is three aspects of one god. It comes directly from Aristotle.Well, let’s see. What deities do they worship or believe in?
We can start with the bizarre concept of the Trinity.
Toss in angels, saints, demons, and even the Virgin Mary and you have an entire pantheon of supernatural beings that are prayed to or believed in.
Nope. It is three distinct people. Your notion is one that was abandoned long ago.I don't think you understand the trinity. It is three aspects of one god. It comes directly from Aristotle.
So one person can be a father, a son, a brother.
Please cite some actual document or statement. I never heard of what you are claiming.Nope. It is three distinct people. Your notion is one that was abandoned long ago.
Jesus, man! Just look it up!Please cite some actual document or statement. I never heard of what you are claiming.
Then you are profoundly confused. No one says that, just you.Jesus, man! Just look it up!
It’s called modalism, dumbfuck. Considered heresy and only practiced by the Pentecostals and a couple others.Then you are profoundly confused. No one says that, just you.
You are as uninformed as Cypress. You confuse your proclamations with knowledge.It’s called modalism, dumbfuck. Considered heresy and only practiced by the Pentecostals and a couple others.
Do some fucking homework.
The Trinity is 3 persons, dumbfuck. Not one with three roles. I just told you what modalism is. Fucking look it up.You are as uninformed as Cypress. You confuse your proclamations with knowledge.
And your own definition contradicts what you said.
Nope. It is three distinct people. Your notion is one that was abandoned long ago.
Christians need Jesus to be at the godhead as a separate person, pally boy. That was called the resurrection.
They still have Jesus as a separate and distinct being. How they wrap their heads around that is some major theological gymnastics. A case can easily be made that he never acquired divinity until the resurrection.Nope. Most churches espouse the Nicene Creed. That comes out of the Council of Nicaea which anathematized Arianism and enshrined the "homoousiosness" of Jesus with God. "Of one substance".
So, no, Christians most assuredly do NOT have Jesus as separate from God the Father.

Christians need Jesus to be at the god
I do not tolerate insults. Goodbye.
but also, fuck the Catholics.Nope. Most churches espouse the Nicene Creed. That comes out of the Council of Nicaea which anathematized Arianism and enshrined the "homoousiosness" of Jesus with God. "Of one substance".

read the books for what's important. moral teachings.
It seems to come down to a matter of language and perception.So, back to my premise. Multiple supernatural beings that are recognized. Some worshipped, some prayed to, all recognized. Satan, angels, saints, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God, the Virgin Mary.
That’s polytheism or, at least, henotheism.
