Judaism and Islam considers the concept of the Trinity to be polytheism?
"The word Trinity is not found in the Bible … Not to find a place formally in the theology of the Church until the 4th century. "- The Illustrated Bible Dictionary
"three-in-one/one-in-three The mystery of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit tritheism made official. The subsequent almost-deification of the Virgin Mary made quatrotheism … Finally, loads of saints raised to quarter deification turned Christianity into plain old-fashioned polytheism.
At the time of the Crusades, was polytheistic religion, most of which have never existed, with the possible exception of Hinduism. This untenable contradiction between the assertion of monotheism and the reality of polytheism was dealt with by accusing other religions of Christian guilt. The Church - Catholic and later Protestant - turned aggressively on the two most clearly monotheistic religions in view - Judaism and Islam - and persecuted as infidels or pagans.
The external history of Christianity consists largely of accusations that other religions are based on the worship of more than one god and therefore not the true God. These pagans must therefore be converted, conquered and / or killed for their own good, to take advantage of the uniqueness of the Holy Trinity, plus appendages. "- which is certainly Companion (John Ralston Saul)
- Why Jews and Muslim scholars say that the Trinity is pure polytheism?
- Why is that throughout history, Christians are no longer any Jews or Muslims Targeted in hate?
- Monotheism is the greatest threat to Christianity?
- Jews and Muslims closer Shouldn't be since both are monotheistic and both were / are the subject of it?

Yes, by "strict monotheism," as some have called it, the Trinity is polytheistic rather obvious.
An analogy that myself and a friend decided, was that many Christians see "God" as being like a tree with a trunk which is divided into 3 parts. each of these 3, then the quality of a tree, but that bind to a common core base.
and that Judaism (and, at least according to some, Islam) have a concept of God more like an obelisk singular, perfect stone, faceted, but there are no divisions of any kind, the "faces" different angles singular vision remains the same "object" and not separately anyway.
from the point of view of the obelisk, the tree is clearly political.
if you see the tree as monotheistic by the common part, then from that point of view, has a certain amount of sense to think of them as equally monotheistic.
"In the beginning God (plural) created (singular) the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). Moses, the author of Genesis, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit chose to use the plural Hebrew word "Elohim" for God, rather than the singular "the" or poetic form singular Eloah. But he does not use the singular form of the verb "create"!
If we read Genesis chapter 1, with that in mind, we find that all that God created each of the six days of Creation Week was by his word. The formula used in God every day was "And God said …" God created everything through Jesus (the Word of God). For example, Colossians 1:16 says: "For in Him [the Word of God] all things were created." 7
Athenagoras: Well, as we acknowledge a God, and Logos the Son, and Holy Spirit, united in essence, - the Father, the Son and the Spirit because the Son is the intelligence, reason, wisdom of the Father and the Spirit an effluence, as light from the fire, so we can understand the existence of other powers, exercised dominion over matter, and through him (A Plea for Christians, 2:18 [AD 177]).

Frankly, the Trinity is a false, man-made concept. He is deceiving many people into thinking that although there are three Gods are one. But that's not true, there are three different gods. But it is political, because that is worshiped only one. Fr.
I have an article about this on my website. Feel free to check out.l
You have no absolutely right, the word trinity does not appear in the Word of God. Nor a word of others that exist, but they are real.
So when Jesus makes his I Am statements in the book of John what he is saying. When you pray the Father, what does that tell us? When we are filled with the Holy Spirit that hovered over the church as he hovered over the earth to create life, what that tell us?
However, there is more to demonstrate the trilogy of his legalistic approaches to it. Something that has lost the case and this is the most important —
If Jesus was not God Almighty when he went to the cross for your sins and my sins and the sins of the world - then God is a liar - and is still in sin and bound for hell.
