Ditheistic

/ˌdɪθiːˈɪstɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, characteristic of, or based on the belief in two gods or two equal divine forces.

Etymology

From ditheist + '-ic' (adjective suffix). The '-ic' ending converts the noun into an adjective describing qualities or relationships.

Kelly Says

Many medieval Christian theologians accidentally slipped into ditheistic language when describing God's absolute power versus Satan's apparent independence, creating theological problems that church councils had to address.
