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". | |

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. | |

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. | |
