What is the difference between Monotheism and Trinitheism?

Question

Monotheism in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible:
The Lord our God is One Lord.
Trinitheism is not in the Bible but is defined: Three persons in one God with each being the one, as well as the three, and all three being one, finally.
Each can be seen as 4, and tthree times four equal twelve, with the big one added to the twelve, three come up as thirteen, the dreaded number 13.
Please help me solve this quizz.

Answer 1

The Trinity is probably the dumbest idea ever to come out of Christian theology. They did not get it from Judaism--ask any Jew, they have only ONE God, not three--but from the numerous pagan religions that were so prevalent when Christianity was developing.

Unfortunately, it puts Christians in something of a bind. There were many times when God commanded the Israelites to go forth and slaughter the nations, including the women, infants, even the cattle and horses. If Jesus = God, then sweet Jesus was right there when those babies were being dashed against the ground, and when pregnant women were having their bellies ripped open, and when virgin girls 14 years old and younger were kidnapped and kept as sex slaves. He was right there with God when the flood wiped out everyone, even the innocent children, infants, and fetuses, and all the animals, too. What did the children do that was so horribly evil as to make them deserve to be drowned? Christians sing about how Jesus loves all the little children of the world, while simultaneously believing that he, as God, killed thousands of them in OT times. How do they reconcile these conflicting beliefs?

Well, they don't because they can't. It's easier to ignore such quandaries, so you won't hear them taught in their children's Sunday school lessons. You also won't hear them trying too hard to actually explain the Trinity. Three = one and one = three, yet three are not one and one is not three...how can anyone even pretend to comprehend this mess??

Oh, there is one analogy they will attempt to use, and it is this: "It's sort of like how one man can be both a father, and a son, and an uncle, but still be the same person." Well, it doesn't work, because that man is a father to one person, a son to another, and an uncle to still another--he is not the SAME person to ALL THREE people at the SAME TIME; in other words, he has different relationships to different people. Yet God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are supposed to be the same God to ALL people...see the difference? Christians don't really think through their analogies very well. They do not understand the trinity any better than nonbelievers, but by offering up faulty analogies, they can give the illusion of understanding. The saddest part is that they actually believe it.

Answer 2

Just because a diamond has many facets, doesn't make it any less one. Just because God has three aspects, doesn't make Him any less one, either. And yes, that doctrine is found all over the Bible. Jesus said "I and the Father are one", and He also said "Before Abraham was, I am," John said "In the the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,", and many other instances I could point out. The doctrine of the Trinity does nothing to alter Monotheism.

Answer 3

Your puzzles will never get to truth because you personnaly are not looking for any.
If we all new Hebrew it would be plain that the one God concept and the Trinity concept are strongly implied even in the 1st few verses of the 1st book of the bible. Literally it says Let us go down - - -

Answer 4

Your quiz is quite amazing but just a human maze to lead others astray and to dead end lanes, because the truth of God's Word is that he is monotheistic, meaning One God and he is in three arenas - God is Father, God is the Son in Flesh, and God is the Holy Spirit. Just as I am a daughter to my mother, a sister to my sister, and a mother to my child - but I'm still just a monotheistic being in three arenas.
