Christianity 1. The Bible clearly speaks of God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. But emphasizes that there is only ONE God. The Trinity is a way of acknowledging what the Bible reveals to us about God is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. That God is three "Persons" but all exist within one essence. In other religions we also see one Supreme Being, being created into other gods/goddess and given certain strengths or is the reason for a creation. Within Christianity all powers or strengths and creation comes from one source; God, because of this I believe that Christianity is still considered a monotheistic religion.

2. The Protestant Reformation was a major 16th century European movement aimed initially at reforming the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
