I have a "Christian question"

How is Jesus GOD, if Jesus is GOD's son? Isn't that polytheism?

Not to offend anyone, but really that's how deficient my Christian education was.

Hi Laura-

Try reading from this link. It explains the Trinity with some quotes from early Church Fathers. Not sure if it's what you are looking for but might help.

From another Laura Lee

To be quite honest with you my Christian education is quiet deficient as well. But I try to make up for it, in the strength of my faith.

Anyways to answer your question. I believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy ghost are one in the same. (AKA The Trinity) Hence, not being polytheistic. You get a pass being omnipotent and all that.

It's the mystery of the Holy Trinity. How can light be both a particle and a wave at the same time? Many mysteries there are, seen and unseen.
