So, does the Catholic church teach that there are three gods together who form the godhead since one is not the other, or does it teach that there is one God expressed in three different ways, since there is one God and they are each other, or both or neither?

And does it teach that one must understand the plurality of the Godhead being three in one in order to be saved? Or that anyone is even capable of really understanding what God is trying to explain to us in His description of Himself being three personas in one?

Is this a serious question?

well dont forget Mary who gave birth to one of them, so in essence had to have birthed all of them

Basically we say as listed in the Athanasian Creed. There is One God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in a Trinity. We are NOT unitarians who deny the TRinity and the divinity of Christ. Do you?

Forget that Catholic stuff. The thread needs to know just what each individual non catholic poster believes. The intro of New Age space cadets changes the entire landscape.

All along I blamed the poor misguided protestants. Sorry Martin and sorry Calvin

What about a prearranged power hour of truth where each non Catholic divulges his/her spiritual treasures and can pick a jury of peers to make remarks

For an answer to the first question: Look at the diagram.

For a partial answer to the second, I don’t think the “Athanasian Symbol” says anything about understanding.
