Are We Polytheists?

Some claim that believing in both a divine Father and Son makes one a polytheist. But the Bible tells a different story.

Scripture never teaches that Jesus was created. Instead, it reveals the Father and Son as distinct divine beings who have existed eternally, sharing one Spirit, one purpose, and one throne. The Hebrew word Elohim (God) is plural—hinting at divine family rather than solitary being.

This isn’t Trinitarianism, which describes three co-equal persons in one essence. Nor is it polytheism with rival gods. It’s relational unity: a divine family built on love, hierarchy, and perfect oneness.

Jesus submits to the Father not because He is lesser—but because their unity mirrors a healthy family: order without rivalry, honor without loss of value.

God’s ultimate plan is also family-focused. Believers are invited to become His children, to reflect His nature and share in His Spirit. That’s why Jesus prayed that we may be “one” just as He and the Father are one (John 17:21).

We are not polytheists. We are children of a divine family, called to enter the eternal unity shared by the Father and Son.
