Strawman argument, is it? Let's go to the tape then:
From post #4 (yours) Bold emphasis mine
Quote:In that governing body contains 3 individual deity, with three separate names/roles.
3 individual deities = 3 deities = polytheism
Quote:Also know changing what the bible says to support your arguments is also not reference material..
I've quoted directly.
Direct quotes =/= strawmen

Nope. You can claim you answered these two problems but everyone can see that you haven't.

There are three branches of Goverment
The Judicial (Which is the courts)
The Legislative (Which consists of the House of repersenitivies and Congress)
Then the Executive Branch (Which include the president and His staff.)
Three unique branches, with different roles, but only one Goverment of the United states.
Are we still on the same page at this point?
There are multiple politicians in our government.
There are multiple deities in your GodCorp.
Polytheism. You still haven't escaped it.
Still waiting for you to explain how Jesus is "equal" to Yahweh given the Bible verses I quoted.
By the way, Question for Dirch
Were the Romans polytheistic?
They could claim "God" is the sum total of their pantheon as you have. "God" to them is comprised of Jupiter who rules the sky, Neptune who rules the sea and Pluto who rules the underworld.
