I don't understand the concept of the Trinity--the idea of three different aspects, one God. Maybe those who believe in the triune structure can help my understanding of their belief by answering this question.
When Jesus Christ was in the Garden of Gethsemane, to whom was he praying? It certainly does not appear to me, in my reading of the Bible, that he is praying to himself.
Further, when Christ laments on the cross that he has been forsaken, to whom is Christ referring? Who is he saying had forsaken him? It just doesn't make sense to me that Christ would be accusing God of forsaking him, if Christ were God, himself.
Note: this question isn't for those Christians who 1) don't believe that Jesus was God or 2) don't believe in a Trinity. I want to know from those who believe that Jesus is, in fact, part of the Godhead.... If he's God (one of three aspects, in any event), then why did he talk *to* God? Don't we usually reserve that for separate entities?
