In Christianity, the Godhead is a term denoting deity or divinity. It is a unity comprised of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Though often used interchangeably with the concept of Trinity, the word Godhead is itself a word that simply means "godhood"[1] and, thus, it is erroneous to use it as synonymous with the English word "trinity." In those English translations of the Bible that use "Godhead," such as the King James Bible, there are only three passages of scripture where it is used, and each time it translates a different Greek word: Acts 17:29 (θεῖον theion, an adjective meaning "divinity, deity"[2]); Romans 1:20 (θειότης theiotēs, a noun meaning "divinity, divine nature"[3]); and Colossians 2:9 (θεότητος theotētos, a noun meaning "deity"[4]).
