Most christians believe in trinity, that is God=Jesus=Holy Spirit.
They are also firm in their believe that they worship God, which is Jesus, which is the Holy Spirit.
They are also firm in their believe that Jesus is God in human Form?

Now why are they praising Jesus as God, he was human and subjected to human needs. Are they infact then worshipping a man?
To Justify my question they say that before Jesus died all the sin of man was put on him.

Why are they worshipping God Directly and not through Jesus if Jesus=God=Holy spirit?
Should you infact only praise in the name of God?

Trinity has been tried to be explained so many times and in so many ways... I think it's a stymbolic concept more than anything. There is one God who sends His Messengers to guide us. These Messengers are like perfect mirrors reflecting the light of God (God's Words, if you want). If you look at a mirror reflecting the sun, you can say that's the sun, and you are not wrong - it's the sun there in that mirror. But there are two different things in fact - there is the mirror and there is the reflection in the mirror. All the Messangers of God are reflections of God, they carry His teachings. God communicates through them with us. They are not God Himself, though.

Well, Jesus was a man for 33 years, but after His resurrection, He went to be with His Father in heaven. He isn't a man anymore, He's God's son, so He is now in His heavenly form, whatever that is. I think that the Holy Spirit is God's spirit. I don't know if the Holy Spirit is also Jesus Christ's spirit. I really don't know how all of this works, and I also don't understand why most Christians think that He is 3 in 1; I can't find anywhere in the Bible that states or even implies this.

When Adam sinned man lost fellowship with the Father with no way back. Jesus came as a man, yet fully God, to show us the way and to redeem us. When on the cross, even though He was sinless, all of man's sins were placed upon Him so that we could be justified - thus He paid the price for our sins.

Therefore, though we cannot live a sinless life we can "put on a cloak of righteousness" and, once again, approach the Father through Jesus Christ.

You can praise the Father for His grace in sending His son and praise the Son for obeying the Father and redeeming mankind.

We worship God the Father through His Son Jesus By His Holy Spirit. Jesus came in the flesh and walked among us yes,but we no Him no more by the flesh but by His Spirit.
That is why He said, it is better that I go, So I can send you My Spirit.

This is very confusing. Jesus and God are equals and Jesus will be at the right side of God in Heaven at the throne. God sent his son Jesus - who manifests through God - to earth to die for our sins. The only way to know God - be saved - is through Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and personal savior because he died for our sins. When Jesus was on earth he prayed to God and did great things through Gods word.
Basically you praise God and thank Jesus.
Jesus was not a regular human man- he is the living form of
God. God id God and he is the creator and the one to be praised. Jesus is the one to thank for showing us this.

You pray to God, but ask in Jesus' name. Jesus was tempted by the devil and Jesus over came those temptations. In the olden day, before Christ. People offered burnt offerings in order to ask for forgiveness. Jesus was the offering for your sins for once and all times. Meaning, you don't offer burnt offerings anymore. All you do is repent and ask in Jesus' name for forgiveness.
All God wants is your love for him. Jesus also had to come. God is all fair. If we all (angels) have to go through the flesh, so does God. This way you can not say, on judgment day, "you didn't have to go through the flesh, it is not fair."
The other reason for Jesus was to defeat the devil. Jesus came back to life on the third day. The devil killed Jesus (God) on the cross. Now, God can destroy the devil and his followers on judgment day.

I hope this helps...

I answer as I understand it. God is bigger than universe. For people to understand Him, Jesus is essential part. With limited sources we have, I will try to explain trinity on example of DNA.
DNA is so small you can not see it with unarmed eye, and yet it carries all general information about you.

God had to reduce Himself to the size of the people in form of His Son, His DNA, so people would become closer in understanding what and who God are.
How we teach our children - through words and personal examples.
How God teaches us - through His Word and personal example (Jesus).
Holy Spirit is part of God as your speech is part of you.
For you (modern person) it is easy to understand how to talk with other person, who is on the opposite side of the town, city, country, world. When you talk with your friend via Internet, phone, I may say, you send her/him your spirit. You support your friend if she is upset, right? Physically you are not with her, but your spirit is.
I hope it helps.

But Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later and therefore I assumed he was in spirit, not human form. But I don't know, I'm a new Christian, but I understand your reasoning.

Trinitarians tend to have a Christology which states that Jesus was both fully God and fully human.
