You are right, how can one pray to themselves & get results, you cannot, Jesus is not the Almighty God, this is a Son talking to his Father, and besides Jesus said this: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’
There is no such thing as the Trinity,
“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?
Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?
1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.
Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,
Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] . . . gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;
Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .
Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.
A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.

Good question! This Is long but read it! First u need to understand that Jesus Is not God. Maybe what may have caused your predicament is hearing about the trinity...
You know, God the Father, God the Son and God the holy spirit. There is a major difference between them. God the Father is the creator of the earth, God the Son is Jesus and he is the one who came to die for ALL our sins and God the Holy Spirit is the spirit that God sent to earth... While Jesus was on the earth he could only help the people he talked to so when he died, God sent a spirit all over the earth that could heal, protect etc and in simpler form is like Jesus in every part of the earth.

Would you question the word of God? That is exactly what you are doing. You can't claim to be Islamic nor any other religion.
Your own Quran speaks as "We did this"and "We did that", and yet you still doubt?
You get on this forum to bash Christians, but you yourself claim to be Islam, and isn't the Quran your bible, the word of God for his CHOSEN people? You don't even read your own bible. What? Did someone just give you questions to ask? Answer this then Mr. Islam, Why does the word of God, speak as though there is more than just Himself there in heaven, by saying WE?
Our bible says there are 3 that bear record in heaven : its the father, the son, and the holy ghost. That would answer your question.
What does the ACTUAL word of God say is the reason? He speaks in the third person?

certain I confident do recognize that, and it may't come too quickly. There are some particularly astounding human beings, yet they could't do it suited like God can. i'm sorry yet with our restricted skills we are able to not even do it large. That being stated, a number of those gifted human beings really imagine they have it happening. they could benefit astronomy yet no longer a honestly one of them can create it. they could wreck it and word it yet they could't even arise with a superbly conclusive answer to any ingredient really. the way it were given there, what's that's correlation to all and distinctive and each ingredient else, a thanks to keep it clean. they could't "stress" the inhabitants of the earth to keep it clean and actual and form no count number how confusing they wrestle they could't examine or substitute hearts. What about drugs. they could concoct drugs some organic, some synthetic besides the undeniable fact that they couldn't end ailment, or lack of existence. What about the "pleasant fireplace" in drugs? That too is a huge difficulty. they could be in a position to postpone and clarify why some die quicker, besides the undeniable fact that what about the 50 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous bodily in good structure guy, without glaring wellbeing themes, which contains genetic ones that drops lifeless of a huge heart attack contained in the airport operating for a airplane? Why is the Earth getting more effective polluted daily? So we've ecologists and human beings really desirous to "keep the earth" yet will that happen with greed and panic at an all time intense? type differences gaps growing wider and wider can we, who're in this really lessen it? Do i recognize that is what i'm soliciting for? How about BEGGING for on an ordinary foundation. Justice and cleanliness and a ruler with obviously higher criteria and far more effective skills than us could be large. certain i recognize.

BIBLE says, He was the son of god!
The FATHER, The SON and the HOLY SPIRIT!
There are two more unknown GODS in Christian myth to whom Jesus (the son) was praying when He was born as Human.

He is not God,he is the son of the living God.
Anywhere Jesus said I and my father are one meant one in spirit.Jesus said he always pleased the Father.

jesus is the SON of god
