Is Christianity monotheism?

Question

I dont understand if Jesus is God or the son of God in christianity, why do ppl worship Jesus(pbuh) if the Bible says to worship but one lord "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29) "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." This verse, Matthew 15:9, so why do ppl still worship him, and if he is somehow both at the same time how come he constantly talks to God as a different entity in the Bible in the Bible

Answer 1

No. They pretend it is, for some strange reason, but it's not. Christianity actually has 4 deities. Big Angry Grand Daddy In the Sky, (Jehovah) is one. Jesus, the Sacrificed God, is 2. What they refer to as the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Pentecostal Dove,and so forth, is actually a repressed Mother figure, a version of the Jewish Shekinah so twisted and disguised that she's not really recognizable. And the 4th is Satan, their Anti-Deity.They don't actually worship that one, but they give him such fear - such anti-worship - that it amounts to the same thing.

Answer 2

True Christianity is:

rs p. 405 pars. 1-2 Trinity ***
The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.

*** rs p. 406 par. 1 Trinity ***
In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.

(Romans 15:4-6) . . .” 4 For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

The answer to this question depends on your "brand" of Christianity. The is the unitarian, one god, approach, where Jesus is the son of God. Then there is the trinitarian approach, where not only is there God the father, but Jesus is also a manifestation of God and so is the holy spirit.

Of course complicating all of this is the biblical question of is there more than one god? Yes, if you read the ten commandments. The first commandment is "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Obviously, there is a reference to the existence of more than one god. Therefore, an argument can also be made that Judeo Christian religion is polytheistic.

Answer 4

Yes there is only One God. That classifies it as a monotheism. You are making it harder than it really has to be. It is man named a trinity, which is to say 3 parts of one whole. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. He sent his son (Jesus) as a suitable sacrifice to cover the sins of all the world. That is to say, the Word made flesh. When Jesus ascended into Heaven after being resurrected he breathed the Holy Spirit onto his disciples to be their Comforter. Thus being the three parts, but one whole.

Answer 5

You are right, you don't understand.

Many are called but few are chosen.

There is only one God. He is transcendant, of a higher order and place, and is the Father. Where the transcendant God's existence intersects with our physical universe, He is called The Son. Where the transcendant God intersects our spiritual universe, He is called The Holy Spirit. The Son and the Spirit are the Christ. The Son and the Spirit and the Father are the fullness, the essence of the One True God.

And He never condones deception. And He never condones murder. And therefore the One True God is not Allah, but Allah is a pretender.

And if you have the capacity for personal perfection unblemished you may stand in His presence and enjoy His fellowship.

If you are imperfect because of your own choices, then you may never enter into the presence of the Father. Until a provision was made.

Jesus says "No one comes to the Father but through Me."

The Son is the only provision for the imperfect to have fellowship with the perfect.


The One True God has the characteristics of truth, life, spirit, peace, justice, mercy, love.

No falsehood is found in Him.

His people are never told that deception or falsehood is acceptable.

Any pretender god, and there are many, is quickly exposed because falsehood (in special cases) is acceptable, and ultimately death and destruction of people are made to benefit the false god.

The One True God does not tolerate hate among us, and his people are recognized for their continuous acts of love bestowing peace and aid to all humanity whether they are of the same faith or not.

The god that condones murder (like bombing innocent civilians in Islam) and appeals to the sexual fulfillment of its followers (say, 70 virgins for Islam, or spirit-wives for mormons) rather than spiritual reconciliation is nothing more than a spirit of lies.

Answer 6

Yes, Christianity is monotheism. Think of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as a candle. God is the candle, Jesus the flame and the Holy Spirit the warmth. They are all connected, you can't have one without the other even though they are separate. They are not three gods, but three aspects of one God.

Answer 7

Jesus was God in the flesh, but He didn't want people to worship flesh, but worship God in the spirit.

Answer 8

Definition of the God includes his abilities. One of them is that he is almighty. So can one that is almighty make it to be existing as three different entities or even more?
It is about understanding the very fact and ability or willingness to believe.

Answer 9

It is of sorts...those Non-Trinitarian sects of Christianity seem to be monotheistic but most of them, the Trinitarians, really seem to complicate the simple notion of "one". They do say all three parts are one thing somehow supported by all sorts of explanations. But in reality, in the real world, I have no experience that can help me relate to this bizarre notion...it doesn't make logocal sense but obviously, it doesn't have to.

Answer 10

An excellent question, and a conundrum for them also. Is it a trinity as in polytheism? or is is monotheism? The concepts are right out of greek and other ancient mythologies.
