Christianity is a polytheistic religeon as 'Holy Trinity' suggests?

Question

Mathew 5;9
blessed are the peackeepers, for they shall be called the sons of God

Trinity means 3. Exactly how it has come to mean 1 is beyond logic

Jesus did say: For the father is greater than I. He admits that they are not equal. Please explain

Answer 1

The Holy Trinity is one God. Christianity is a monotheistic religion.

Answer 2

This question seems to have taken over from the old "chicken and the egg" question. The concept of the Trinity is a difficult one for many, but that does not mean that Christianity is polytheistic in the real meaning of that word. The Trinity are one, and they are all involved in the same things. They don't each have a personal agenda, nor do they compete with each other (see the stories of the Greek or Norse gods).

Answer 3

The Athanasian Creed, between the early Catholic statements on the Trinity, interior the unique Latin, certainly admits to tritheism, notwithstanding the with out delay grants that their faith forbids them to say 3 Gods or 3 Lords. So definite, the Trinity, that is neither got here upon nor reported in scripture, is tritheism. (the mandatory concept of Trinity is one God in 3 persons. Scripture never makes use of the note persons with regards to God, yet does use human being, singular, for Him in activity. the in difficulty-free words verse of scripture to recommend 3 entities interior the Godhead is a million John 5:7 as curiously interior the KJV and some different translations. yet that verse can't be found in ANY Greek manuscript previous to the 11th century, or perhaps then, it changed into scrawled interior the margin, no longer element of the particular textual content. The verse is a fraud. So if scripture never says persons and not says 3, yet says human being and says one over and once extra, then there is in difficulty-free words one God. Why do you imagine the Apostles never repeated the titles of pop, Son and Holy Spirit in baptism? They continually used the call of Jesus because Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not names of persons, yet are workplaces held by ability of the only God, who's Jesus... God in flesh.)

Answer 4

No. It is not polytheistic.

"Sons of God" were created sons.

There is only one begotten Son: the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity who became Jesus.

While there are three distinct aspects of God, there is only one God, which is called "monotheism." You're right in that it defies logic: it defies human logic. God's logic might be a bit more lofty than a human's wouldn't you agree, since He is an infinite, omniscient being and all?

Answer 5

Let's bring some scholarship to the topic. From the Encyclopedia of Religion, one of the most authoritative religion encyclopedias available (and one you can find in many libraries): "Trinitarian theology is par excellence the theology of relationship. Its fundamental principle is that God, who is self-communicating and self-giving love for us, is from all eternity love perfectly given and received. The traditional formula 'God is three persons in one nature' compactly expresses that there are permanent features of God's eternal being (the three persons) that are the ontological precondition for the three distinct manners of God's tripersonal activity in the world (as Father, Son, Spirit). . . . because the three persons together and inseparably (though without mingling or confusion) bring about salvation and deification, and because the one God is worshiped as Father, Son, and Spirit, no divine person is inferior to any other person. Although undivided, God exists as the pure relationality of love given and received. The decree of the Council of Florence (1442) that 'everything in God is one except where there is opposition of relation was regarded as a final answer to tritheism (belief in three gods), Arian subordinationism (ontological hierarchy of persons), Sabellian modalism (no real distinctions 'in' God), and Macedonianism (denial of the divinity of the Holy Spirit)."

As others have said, this is a complicated doctrine. Librarians can help you find lots more information about it.

Answer 6

For they shall be called sons of God: The reward of peacemakers is that they are recognized as true children of God. They share His passion for peace and reconciliation, the breaking down of walls between people.

d. The character traits described in the Beatitudes are not valued by our modern culture. We don’t recognize or give awards to the "Most Pure in Heart" or "Most Poor in Spirit." Though our culture doesn’t think much of these character traits, they do described the character of the citizens of God’s kingdom.

Answer 7

Christianity is a monothestic religion. Holy Trinity does not mean three gods. It means three persona in one God. They are not separate beings. That is, Christian believe God is uncreated.

Mormonism, however, is a polytheistic religion, for Mormons have no concept about uncreated God. They believe in many gods who rule over different planets. It is not Christianity.

Answer 8

There is only one God. Jews believe it, Muslims believe it, Jesus taught it, ...
There are many different understandings on the role and importance of Jesus (pbuh). That is why Christian theologians over the centuries had different ideas.

Thank you for your question, and please do not feel strongly against "People of the Book" that differ on one point, but have very similar values to you in other areas of faith.

There are enough enemies to the path to Heaven without arguing between faithful brothers and sisters.

Answer 9

Wrong....

There is one God who eternally exists in 3 distinct Personalities:

Father, Son & Holy Spirit

1 John 5:6-8
“This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.”

Answer 10

It is polytheistic, just like Islam. Quran Has "WE" when Allah speaks. And don't forget the black stone in the Kabba, which is just a meteorite that fell from outer space with no significance at all.
