SYSTEMS OF THEOLOGY

PANTHEISM

Everything is God, and God is everything. Everything you see is God. God is in everything. God and creation are synonymous.

POLYTHEISM

This is belief in many gods. There are various gods over us; these in turn have gods over them; and these have gods over them, and so on.

TRITHEISM

DUALISM

This is the belief in two gods: a god that is good, and a god that is bad. They are both equal in power and persuasion.

THEISM
