Spiritual but not religious, new age and omnist
I believe the answer is no. But the trinity is not strict monotheism.
I'm not a christian and I do not believe in the trinity. I believe in strict monotheism, but I want to defend the christians on this matter. It is not correct to say christians is polytheists
In the offical trinity doctrine the three persons in God has same essence. The essence is the divine substance that binds them together as one God. Because of this the three persons in God can never split apart from each other. They are always togheter as one and they work always as one. And remember the three persons in God is also one in purpose and will.
For example two humans who is always togheter as one because both two humans has one hand that is fused together in the other's hand, and they both has one leg that is fused togheter in the other persons leg. They also share the same blood literaly. The same blood passes through both of their bodies. And if doctor do surgery because he want to split the two humans apart they both die.
And yes i know this is a bad example because two humans is not God. God is pure spirit. God do not die. And God is spiritual not physical.
The difference between the offical trinity and the mormon version of trinity is that in mormon version the father, son and holy spirit do not have a divine substance that bind them togheter as one. So they can be completely separated from each other, like two gods in some mythology.
But in the offical trinity version the father, son and holy spirit can never split apart from each other. They are always togheter as one and they work always as one. And remember the three persons in God is also one in purpose and will.
The offical trinity is a kind of monotheism when the three persons in God share a essence that binds them together as one God. And the three persons in the offical trinity also always is one in purpose and will. Two different gods in mythology do not often have exactly the same will.
What do you think about what I wrote in this tread?
