Not monotheists?

Technically speaking because TSCC believes that we all can "become gods," does this not make them technically polytheists? If they believe that God was man, then ultimately doesn't that mean he has a father as well?

I've seen it described as henotheistic

They think Jesus, the HG, and God the father are separate,

that's three gods.

They tell women they are equal, so presumably the Heavenly Mother is another God with a capital G for them.

It's an argument that fundagelicals love. Atheists are amused by the fighting.

Re: Not monotheists?

I guess the whole humans becoming Gods thing is confusing and well doesn't it kind of, by their standards, make God and JC not worth worshiping if they're just like me and you?

I think exaltation, aside from the anthro stuff, was what really pissed me off and drove me away.

Christinsanity is polytheistic.

Angels, devils, demons, etc. are merely lesser gods.

Re: Christinsanity is polytheistic.

I thought angels/demons were just like..servants? Maybe I'm just ignorant to everything
