Jun 22, 2020 at 8:23 comment added user35499 @RevelationLad. The word echad in the Shema strictly means one, not two or more. Echad is a numerical adjective that is sometimes found modifying a collective noun. The sense of plurality is in the compound noun and not in the word echad “one” The idea that the God of the Hebrew Bible, who is a single Individual, revealed in 3 is contradicted in the NT. Jesus deliberately makes any change in the nature of God impossible. He insisted on the unitarian Shema of his Jewish heritage. Mark 12:28-34, John 17:3, John 5:44. Jesus is never called "the only God" nor "the Almighty".
Jun 22, 2020 at 7:39 comment added Revelation Lad @AlexBalilo They can be God because they are God as Father, Son, Spirit as stated throughout the New Testament. So it is not polytheism because they are they are one. You might want to consider the Shema in that light, because if there was only one God as you understand the phrase, there is no reason to say God is one. The only reason to say God is one is to affirm Father, Son and Spirit is one.
Jun 22, 2020 at 6:02 comment added user35499 @GusL. is "another of the same type" polytheism? Yes, it is. .All gods in polytheism are gods because they share in the “state of being god,” that is, in the “substance” or "type" of godhood. How else can they be gods?
Jun 19, 2020 at 18:51 comment added Revelation Lad @GusLott I suppose that would depend on your belief about. But if you are God's Temple because His Spirit is in you, I don't think it is accurate to say you are empty of Him. As Paul says He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may posses the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:14.
