The only
really acceptable meaning of Theism is the belief in one personal God who is
both Immanent and Transcendent, but even among those who profess faith in this
kind of God we find a division. There are those who hold a unitarian concept of
God, avowing that God exists in only one Person. This is the form of monotheism
which is held by Jews, Mohammedans, and Unitarians. The other group,
representing the historical Christian view, holds that the one God exists in
three Persons or personal distinctions: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This Christian
view is unique among all of the religious beliefs in the world. No other religion
has ever presented this concept. Some have tried to liken or compare the Biblical
Trinity with the Triad of Hinduism: Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, but there is no
similarity whatsoever. These are three separate and distinct gods among whom
there is no unity, but often antagonism.
