> I've never heard anyone say the early church wrestled with polytheism.

See:

> Marcion preached that the benevolent God of the Gospel who sent Jesus Christ into the world as the savior was the true Supreme Being, different and opposed to the malevolent Demiurge or creator god, identified with the Hebrew God of the Old Testament.[2][3][5]

I find myself agreeing with a lot of these “gnostic” interpretations tbh. When you read stuff like Numbers 14, God just comes off as a total asshole lol

Although the whole theology they cooked up around the “true god” reads like bad fan fiction usually.

> "the nature of the triune Godhead"

Yeah that sounds like some weak Warhammer 40k fanfic.

I've always seen Warhammer fiction as part parody of religions.. and heavy metal art.
