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). Str1977 22:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New User editing to remove "Mormonism not Christian" etc, not sure who "we" is; restored per edit warring, but all the same I think the section is overweight, should normally be 1 of 10 or 15 church views. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:25, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have slimmed it. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:50, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I have zapped it. As overweight, OR, unsourced, and of no direct reference to the title. A see also God in Mormonism will do unless there is any real sourced content. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmodic: I really don't want this on my User Talk page, you have been reverted by User:Editor2020 first before myself.

"Godhead is a Middle English variant of the word godhood, and denotes the Divinity or Substance (Ousia) of God in Christianity, or the Trinity."

What does this mean? Editor2020, Talk 05:03, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

The term "ESV"in the table should be defined.

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".

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)[reply]
