Talk:Godhead in Christianity

message: I removed this passage:
"the terminology of Godhead is broader than the idea of Trinity, and includes other ideas of how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are interrelated."
Whenever there are "ideas of how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are interrelated", there is a "Trinity". Even the Arians did adhere to the Trinity, though they did not consider all three "members" divine (at least not in the same sense).

"The term Godhead is a term denoting deity or divinity. Though often used interchangeably with the concept of Trinity, the two are not synonymous.Etymonline.com
The term is only used in three passages in the King James Bible. In Acts 17:29 it is used to translate the Greek word: θεῖον theion, an adjective meaning "divinity, deity",Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon in Romans 1:20 it is used to translate the Greek word θειότης theiotēs, a noun meaning "divinity, divine nature".Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon and in Colossians 2:9 for the Greek word θεότητος theotētos, a noun meaning "deity".Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon
The nature of the Godhead is defined differently among different Christian denominations. In most branches of Christianity, including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and Protestantism, trinitarianism prevails and the Godhead is viewed as the Holy Trinity, and so the word Godhead is often used interchangeably with Trinity.
Contrasting views of the Godhead include the version of tritheism accepted by some denominations of Mormonism, the unitarianism of the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Monotheistic Modalism of the Oneness Pentecostals, the Binitarianism of some Seventh day Church of God groups, the Dualism of Gnosticism, and various other nontrinitarian views of denominations such as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the Unification Church, and Unitarian Universalism."

:In the later Neoplatonic mystical tradition (in Pseudo-Dionysius, for example), the term θεαρχία (thearchia) is used. http://www.catholicprimer.org/early_theologians/dionysius_areopagite_divine_names_mystical_theology.pdf 
Can't see value or relevance of this to the subject Godhead in Christianity. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:56, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I see this line in the Talk above. "The term Godhead is a term denoting deity or divinity." Is that what the article is trying to say and it has just been muddied up with other stuff? Editor2020, Talk 05:10, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

message: As a German speaker I was surprised by this word: Godhead. Is it a "head"? Till I found the German word "Gottheit", that just means "deity". Correct me, if I am wrong, but I don't see any connection to a "head". I would rather see the suffix "-head" as an equivalent to "-hood" or "-ty" or German "-heit". 109.43.49.146 (talk) 08:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
