If God has a son (Jesus), doesn't that mean Christians worship TWO gods?

Question

Hasn't it become polytheistic?

Answer 1

good point

Answer 2

Church Father St. Augustine:
But that is the right purpose which starts from faith. For a certain faith is in some way the starting-point of knowledge; but a certain knowledge will not be made perfect, except after this life, when we shall see face to face. (1 Cor. 13:12) ... As regards this question, then, let us believe that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit is one God, the Creator and Ruler of the whole creature; and that the Father is not the Son, nor the Holy Spirit either the Father or the Son, but a trinity of persons mutually interrelated, and a unity of equal essence. And let us seek to understand this, praying for help from Himself, whom we wish to understand. (On the Trinity, Bk. 9, Chap. I ML 42, 961 NPNF III, 125)

Answer 3

In Christianity, we view God as a triune God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It can be a little difficult to understand at first until you put it in perspective. Its not that they are three separate individuals but three separate aspects of God. God the Father is the mind. God the Son, is the body, and God the Holy Spirit is the soul.

Answer 4

Please don't be confused. God is not limited to human understanding, however, try to picture it as this. There is the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit, right? One's first impression perhaps might be similiar to yours. But it's not 1 + 1 + 1 + = 3, it's 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. Or, if you want 1 = 1 x 1 x 1. Kinda like that. Hope this helps, and God bless!

Answer 5

I heard from some people that they do not go to some churches because when they baptize, they only said on the name of Jesus Christ, so you have a point, but somewhere in the bible it said that the only way we are going to see God is only through his only son, that is why people call Jesus a God, but like I said only through him we will see the Holly God

Answer 6

In some ways, God can be compared to a clover, The clover in itself is one, but it has 3 different leaves, so it is similar to how God is.

There is only one God, but He has 3 branches, The Father, The Son , and The Holy Ghost.

Answer 7

Christians do not worship a god ,they worship an Anunaki

who was not a God but a refugee from Mars before it got knocked out of orbit .who bred humans (the Adam race)to do his gold mining for him,with genetic engineering and cloning about 300.000 years ago

but they have never been allowed to hear that part of the story

Answer 8

Jesus is one of the highest evolved Spirits. We are '"Son's" of God. The relation scriptures has given to Jesus as being the Son or direct offspring of God, is taken out of context.

Answer 9

They worship 2 , God and Lord God creator of God

Answer 10

You forget that the Holy Spirit is also considered God. Initially this presents us with a three god system. However, this is only if you only think in terms of addition and subtraction (1+1+1=3). It is more akin to multiplication (1x1x1=1). To see a proper conceptualization, consider our linear breakdown of three dimensional space. We are defining a singular concept (space) but it is defined with the x,y,z grid. There are not three spaces, but one defined in three dimensions.

Answer 11

Actually all Judo-Christian religions believe in the concept of the trinity. One God in three forms. The Father, son, and spirit.

They are three seperate beings with one voice. So no, its not two seperate gods, it's one god with three beings... The bible mentions God as mult-faceted, omniscient, omnipresent.
