Were Jesus and his followers worship God alone? or they were trinitians?

Answer 1

Being of the jewish race they probably prayed to God as the jews are monotheistic based?Hear ye o Israel the lord God is one!says so in the Bible. check it out?Trinity was conceived at the Coucil of Nicea? I think?it explains the Father,Son,Holy Ghost most Christians believe in?One reason Muslims have a problem with Christians is their belief in a triune god[3 godhead]as they believe in Allah as the one true god?

Answer 2

First-century believers accepted the Scriptures as the authentic revelation of God. Jesus, Paul, and first-century believers used the Scriptures as the foundation for their teaching. They knew that “all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, ..."—2 Timothy 3:16, 17; see also 1 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.

Since the Bible can ‘set things straight,’ it should clearly reveal information about a matter as fundamental as the Trinity is claimed to be. But, search as you may, you will not find one scripture that uses the word Trinity, nor will you find any that says that Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom. Not even a single scripture says that the Son is equal to the Father in those ways—and if there were such a scripture, it would establish not a Trinity but at most a “duality.” Nowhere does the Bible equate the holy spirit with the Father.

Do theologians and historians themselves say that it is clearly a Bible teaching? No. Regarding the historical facts on this matter, The New Encyclopædia Britannica states:
“Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . .
“The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . .

If the Trinity doctrine had been taught by Jesus and his disciples, then surely leading churchmen who came immediately after them would also have taught it. But “It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons.”

Answer 3

They worshiped God. The disciples did not understand that Jesus was God until the resurrection. Christ is often quoted/observed worshippinig God and not asking for worship of self. And Jesus also prophesied about the Holy Spirit to be coming when he was risen, and many say that the Holy Spirit came on Pentacost.

Answer 4

Trinitians? As in the Trinity? God is all three of the Trinity. Trinity=God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. All with their purposes, they are all one and the same. They are all three God.

Answer 5

The answer to your question can be found in the account of the Apostle Thomas' confession of faith, after he put his fingers in the marks of the nails after Christ's resurrection. He said: "My Lord and my God!" In other words, he (and the other Apostles along with him) recognized Christ as God the Son, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. Later, when Christ was with the Apostles and other disciples for 40 days after His resurrection, He taught them everything about the Triune (three-in-one) God. He told them about the Holy Spirit, Whom He would send into the world to guide them into all truth, etc. So, yes, Jesus and His followers were "trinitarians". This is the understanding that God is a Trinity of three Persons in one Essence. Three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One God.

Answer 6

Jesus worshiped God, which showed us how to worship God. I, being Mormon, believe in the trinity, as in God the father, Jesus the son, and the holy spirit, I do not believe that they are one, but instead three separate entities. I worship Jesus and God, however, I do not worship the holy spirit, but instead rely on it for comfort. I believe that Jesus did not worship himself or the holy spirit, therefore he did not worship the trinity. Does this answer your question?

Answer 7

During Jesus' baptism, the three members of the God-head are revealed. Jesus was the one getting baptized. God, the Father, spoke "This is my Son in whom I am well-pleased". God, the Holy Spirit was visible like a dove over Jesus.

Answer 8

Trinitarians....

That was not a word then. They were still trying to grasp the Son of God.

Jesus told them later that he must leave so that the Holy Spirit would be able to come to them.

The Holy Spirit could not come until Christ had made the atonement for our sins, and had returned to sit at the right hand of the Father.

We were never told to worship anyone other than the Father and to pray to the Father in the NAME of His Son, Jesus, who paid the price for our sins. Jesus came to reconcile us back to the Father, and to pay the price for our sins, which we were unable to do on our own.

and their IS ONE TRUE GOD, in the personalities of more than one. It is a difficult concept, you have to get it thru spirit...and then you get it.

It is like mind, body and spirit. You have a mind, you have a body, and you have a spirit.

So does God.

Answer 9

Jesus showed us the Way to worship God, and left us the Holy Spirit to comfort us when He went back to Heaven.

So, umm, I'm not sure what you mean.

Answer 10

His followers worshipped the father, the son(Jesus), and the holy ghost.
