Serious Discussion / Christianity is Not True Monotheism
« on: December 07, 2017, 01:58:13 pm »
Why is Christianity labeled as monotheism? I believe this is a false label. Christianity should truly be labeled as monistic-polytheism, better known as polytheism.
The idea of the trinity is that there is the father, the son, and the holy spirit, and that these are all part of the one god. All three are different persons or incarnations of god. They are all god, but they are not each other. This reminds me of a religion called Hinduism. In Hinduism, they believe in many gods; Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva, Shakti, etc. Yet, they also believe that these many gods, there are millions, are all incarnations of the great truth, Brahman. The difference is that Hinduism is labeled as polytheism, whereas Christianity is labeled as monotheism.
So, why is Christianity considered monotheistic, when indeed it is basic monistic-polytheism. Does this not make sense to any one else?
