Do Catholics believe in more than one God?

Answer 1

No.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states that there is one true God made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed from that council:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. ...

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. ...

This belief is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

No, catholics believe in the same trinitarian God of the Bible that Protestants believe.

Answer 3

We believe in the Trinty, God the Father, God the Son( Jesus), God the Holy Spirit

Answer 4

No. We believe in a Trinitarian theology: in short, the mystery that "God" is God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Three-yet-one.

Answer 5

Trinity is one being who can separate, or join together at will.

1 + 1 + 1 = 1
One cup coffee + Creamer + Surgar = One great cup of coffee
God the Father + God the Son + Holy Spirit = One great God

Answer 6

All Christians believe in more than one God. They believe in 4 gods.

1. The Father
2. The Son
3. The Holy Spirit
4. Satan, as a co-creator god who creates evil, while God creates good.

Judaism, on the other hand, knows that God creates both good and evil, and that everything comes from God, as per God's word in Isaiah 45:5-7 where it says God creates good AND evil ("ra" in hebrew means evil, not catastrophe or disaster, etc.)

Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, turn God into a man, just like in ancient pagan mythology.

Then they have God coming down and impregnating virgins, just like the ancient pagans, and the resulting child is a god-man, just like the ancient pagans had.

Then this god-man serves as a virgin human blood sacrifice for sin just like the ancient pagans had.

Then he goes to the underworld for 3 days, just like the ancient pagans had, and then he resurrects to renew life again, just like the ancient pagans had.

Then he ascends back to his Father, of which he is supposed to be a part of too, but he doesn't exactly rejoin his original body, but sits NEXT to it on its right hand side, so there we have TWO gods sitting next to each other, but one of them, or possibly both of them, also have the Holy Spirit within them.

So let's see. Who follows the ancient paganism more closely, the Protestants or the Catholics? I'll leave it to you to decide.

Answer 7

Catholics are in a real bind.
They believe in 3 gods.
However, they know God is suppose to be one.
So, they make Him 3 in 1.
A divine mystery indeed!

Answer 8

no. We believe in the Trinity. We are the first Christians no matter what the Devil tries to tell people through those who do not have the Truth within them.

Answer 9

The first 5 words of our profession of faith are:

"We believe in one God"

Peace be with you!
