A monotheistic religion is one with only one god, such as Islam. If Jesus is the son of god, then that makes him a god too. A religion can't have two gods and still be monotheistic. This means Christianity is a polytheistic religion, doesn't it?

God has 3 forms: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. This is the Trinity.

Father and son are two persons. Jesus is god, and father is god. One god plus one god equal two gods. The holy spirit is just a spirit, like our soul.
Judaism is already a monotheistic religion. Why did the Christians modified it? They added a son, and still want to call it a monotheistic religion. Give me a break.

The trinity makes the Christianity with no doubt a polytheistic religion. Islam is the only monotheistic religion on earth today.

No, Jesus is not God, and only people without understanding assume so. God is all knowing. Jesus doesn't even know when he is coming back, only God does. Jesus couldn't raise himself from the dead, God did that. ( Acts 4:10, Romans 10:9,and Galatians 1:1.) Jesus called God his father and his God (John 14:28) and said the father was greater than him. While true Christians do not believe from bible teachings that Jesus is God, we also know that we follow the teachings of Jesus, but don't blindly emulate his every move down to what he ate, wore, how he bathed, etc. as Muslims do Muhammad. Muslims treat Muhammad as being more important in their religion that Allah who they call God. So that makes Islam monotheistic, yet pagan.

Christianity is the only one who considers itself monotheistic. Judaism and Islam both consider Christianity to be polytheistic. The 3-in-1 God, and then also separating out the capacity to do evil from God (unlike Judaism) and putting it on a devil that has almost as much power as God does, that's yet another god that Christianity has - they give as much attention and power to that god as they do to God, if not more. So there are actually FOUR gods in Christianity. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the Devil.

No. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are 3 parts of 1 whole. They are the "Scared Trinity" in Catholicism and are all a part of each other. Jesus was not only God's son, he was an extension of God in human form on Earth. They were 2 parts of the same whole.

Christainity is monotheistic but its these Trinitarians who make everyone think wrong about our belief, Jesus is God but hes not apart of a Trinity, You have to understand what i mean by this, Jesus is the Son and he is also God but he is not a Trinity.

No because Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father are different aspects of the same God.

If it's anything like Greek mythology, since Jesus was the son of Mary (a human) and God (a god) that would only REALLY make him a demi-god.
But still, that makes it polytheistic. I think that Jesus is just supposed to be PART of God...not really a seperate entity.
But our mere mortal minds can't comprehend that, so they slapped the name Jesus on him to differentiate.

Ah. It kinda goes back to the whole "holy trinity" thing. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three entities, but still one. Thats how it's still monotheistic.
