As most people in this forum accept the Nicene Creed, I suppose there are quite a few trinitarians here. Some of you believe in three seperate dieties in one form, or one diety with three bodies, or just one diety who only exists in one place at a time, but has gone through three stages (i.e. before Christ came to earth, he was the Father, then was born on earth as the son... at which time there was no God in heaven... then God died as the Son, and is now the holy spirit).
Which flavor of trinitarianism do you subscribe to and why? Also, does it bother anyone that most flavors of the trinity teach polytheism whereas the bible specifically states "There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him" then follows up to specify that Jesus is "Lord" rather than "God?"
(note: Yes, this question is loaded in order to start conversation. The intent is to have the different explanations of "the trinity" discussed side by side. I do not intend or encourage anyone to belittle any religion.)
