Junk Polytheism: A Christian Addiction

Junk Polytheism: A Christian Addiction
I’ve never met a Christian that will admit his or her religion is polytheist or idolatry, but it is. Worshipping Jesus as God is the equivalent of worshipping a stone, as far as the “Old Testament” reads. Read the Ten Commandments. Jesus can’t be God by the definition of idolatry in the Ten Commandments. I won’t quote it because it won’t get me anywhere, as Christians don’t really care about the doctrine of Christianity. It’s all about faith right? Make it simple, just faith in the idol, Jesus. I could say Jesus is an idol until I am blue in the face without anyone proving my argument to be bad, and most people would be rather unthankful, and wouldn’t change a single thing in their life.
Christians have the problem of a trinity. There is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and last I heard Christian teachers, the sane ones that is, teach that the trinity is a mystery. Nobody fully understands the trinity, and I’m not the first to say that it won’t ever be understood because it is nonsense.
The trinity has the problem of Jesus, a being considered as G-d, dying. This is the key message of Christianity, in fact, that Jesus died to wash away the sins of mankind. However, G-d is not only a forgiver of sins, but a sustainer by the Bible. For example, Jesus said, “I am the bread of life,” which is probably a claim of Jesus saying that he is a provisional deity food, which represents sustenance.
That is, G-d is omnipresent and sustains reality, by both Jesus and the claims of the Pharisees. Well, um, what happens when the Sustainer, Jesus, dies? Maybe you can guess that the death of Jesus should represent the death of everything sustained, the complete end of the world, leaving no spark to restart it. Death of The Sustainer should mean the total annihilation of everything that exists, if we are to believe God is omnipresent. In fact, it should even be the annihilation of heaven and hell, as if G-d is truly the Sustainer, then He sustains these things too.
With the death of the Sustainer it should it should be by a second G-d that reality is revived from its total collapse. This god is what Christians refer to as the Father, which logically can only be a different deity than Jesus, as when if G-d is one and G-d dies, then all of G-d should die or else one god is separate from the other. Christianity mandates that Jesus can’t be the sustainer, and for the Father or the Holy Spirit to take on that role can only be polytheism. For me, that is enough to close the book on Christianity, and write it off as a second rate religion, which is no different than worshipping Zeus.
We can be sure that this polytheism is not true, but it doesn’t matter. Christians will continue to be Christians. It doesn’t matter that the end of sustenance did not happen with the death or resurrection (if you believe in that) of Jesus because nobody that is Christian has any concern for religious accuracy. Rather, with the death and resurrection of Jesus we observe things carried on, much like they do today. Myths still form about individuals. There are still wars. There are still plagues, and disease. There is still the possibility of suffering for both believer and nonbeliever. This generally doesn’t concern people, and they still attend Church, as there are still pastors that want to believe this crap.

    I understand your point.
    So please be advised: not every Christian worships Jesus as God!

    There are many truly monotheistic Christians (including myself :-) )
    who worship truly & solely ONE GOD, the Father;
    and honor Jesus the Messiah,
    as the ONE GOD's human Son!

    And we do not subscribe to the doctrine of the trinity!


    So there is no need to "close the book on Christianity, and write it off as a second rate religion",
    because true, Biblical, Monotheistic Christianity is very much alive and thriving.
    This is indeed the faith which was once delivered unto the saints!
