How many religions believe that God, Christ, ant the Holy Ghost are three separate beings?

Question

How many also believe that God has a body as tangible as man's? I know that the LDS faith believes this, but I wonder if anyone else believes this also.

I am LDS (Mormon), I am just curious as to what other religions might believe this also.

I am not asking who believes in all three of them as the Trinity, but rather who believes that they are separate beings. One in purpose, but not "one".

Answer 1

As a member of the LDS faith, I can say with a surety that they are one-- in PURPOSE. They are three separate beings, as attested by the baptism of Jesus. Jesus was baptized, God witnessed it and affirmed it, and the Holy Ghost decended upon him in the form of a dove.

Answer 2

I would like to clairfy HoneyBears answer.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity. And we do not believe that GOD has a tangible body.

What we do believe is:

1. That there is one GOD and his name is Jehovah.

(Je·ho´vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wah´ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].

The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18."That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth. "


2. Jesus Christ is GOD's first born SON of all creation.

Jesus Christ --The name and title of the Son of God from the time of his anointing while on earth.

The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sous´) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. For this reason persons often added further identification, saying, “Jesus the Nazarene.” (Mr 10:47; Ac 2:22) Christ is from the Greek Khri·stos´, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi´ach (Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Whereas the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Mt 16:16; see CHRIST; MESSIAH.

3. Holy Spirit is GOD's active force.

Spirit --The Greek pneu´ma (spirit) comes from pne´o, meaning “breathe or blow,” and the Hebrew ru´ach (spirit) is believed to come from a root having the same meaning. Ru´ach and pneu´ma, then, basically mean “breath” but have extended meanings beyond that basic sense. (Compare Hab 2:19; Re 13:15.) They can also mean wind; the vital force in living creatures; one’s spirit; spirit persons, including God and his angelic creatures; and God’s active force, or holy spirit. (Compare Koehler and Baumgartner’s Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, Leiden, 1958, pp. 877-879; Brown, Driver, and Briggs’ Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, 1980, pp. 924-926; Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, edited by G. Friedrich, translated by G. Bromiley, 1971, Vol. VI, pp. 332-451.) All these meanings have something in common: They all refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motion. Such invisible force is capable of producing visible effects.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the universal sovereign of the universe and the only true God.
Jesus Christ is Jehovah's only begotten son,who had a prehuman existence and was the first born of all creation.He came to earth to offer his perfect human life as a ransom sacrifice in order that mankind may be freed from enslavement to sin and death.
The Holy Spirit is Jehovah's active force.What Jehovah uses to accomplish his purposes.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jehovah has a physical body,but that He is a powerful spirit being.
John 4:24 tells us:"God is a spirit,and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth."

Answer 4

The Nicene Creed actually places the three as separate. Putting all together as one God is a heresy that was known as Modalism.

The anti-trinitarian belief holds them not to be three separate beings. This is akin to unitarianism and is generally not accepted by Christians.

The main difference between mormonism and other christian denominations is that mormons believe in a physical being of God while other denominations believe in a strictly spiritual existence of God.

No true believer in the trinity doctrine who understands it would say that God is one being with separate personalities. This was a heresy that was fought over bitterly and not accepted. God is three distinct persons with one single divine being. He is not one person with three personalities.

Answer 5

I believe that science was created by God... and therefore must be accepted.... I MEAN IT IS WHAT WE SEE! In cosmology it is believed there are other dimensions. There is interaction between here and "there". As in the big bang... when matter first formed in this dimension. God I believe is one conscious and the trinity is him in different forms. God is the generalized name, Jesus is his mortal form, and the Holy Ghost is the part of him that lingers here... the remnants of Jesus's soul... is this from religion? No just my personal beliefs... where do I get my information? My heart.

Answer 7

It is a Christian article of faith, that God is one entity with three different personalities, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is hard to conceive by Muslims and the reason why they often say that Christianity is polytheistic religion.

Answer 8

I'm not sure I follow you. Are you trying to find out how many religions believe in the Trinity and how many don't? Many religions believe in the Trinity. Many religions that believe in the Trinity also believe that each entity within the Trinity are separate beings. Please be more specific in your question regarding which religion, etc.

Answer 9

All of Christianity to a degree. Christianity being one religion, seperated into many different denominations and subcultures. Even within those subcultures I think this is accepted, if not emphasized.

Christianity currently has over 2 Billion followers worldwide, and is the largest religion by far.
