What is Henotheism?

by | Aug 19, 2009 | Heresies, Apologetics

Henotheism is a subdivision of polytheism (the belief that many gods exist) and is the teaching that of the plurality of gods, one of them is supreme.  It does not deny the existence of other gods. It is derived from the Greek word ‘heis’ which means one and ‘theos’ which means God.  Some of the groups that hold to henotheism are Mormonism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Etc.

Some critics of Christianity misunderstand the doctrine of the Trinity and claim it to be a triad that consists of a supreme God known as The Father who is a greater God than Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  But, such critics fail to understand that the Trinity is the teaching that there is only one God in three eternal and distinct persons who all share one divine substance.
