Why don't u get it?
Jesus said it over and over again, HE IS THE FATHER!! HE IS GOD in the FLESH. What makes him the son is the fact that he had a HUMAN body(carnal flesh)!! Hes both at the same time!!
Jesus told Philip in John 14:9
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 10:38
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. ARE THEY NOT ONE??
JESUS TOLD the DEVIL in :
Matt 4:7
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Wasn't Jesus the one who was being tempted? Oh yeah maybe that means that Jesus is the Lord GOD!! cmon ppl lets all rightly divide the word of truth!!
2 Tim 2:15
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

You are absolutely correct. Constantine forced the council of Nicea's vote to be law and anyone caught embracing the disciples teaching of 'Jesus name baptism' or 'Oneness' would be executed as a heretic. As a matter of fact when all parties were invited to the council of Nicea Oneness believers were hunted down and executed prior to the council's meeting.
One word of advice; just because you have knowledge of the truth (which is a gift to you from God and not your own wisdom lest you should boast) does not mean that you or your Church does not error in other very key areas. If there is hypocrisy in the Church or there is 'the buddy system' in the Church or there is demands on the fellowship in the Church from the pulpit that even our Lord has not commanded than you need to remember Paul's advice; "work out your own salvation with much fear and trembling". Do not be a follower of man, if faith is important to you make sure that your faith is in the right place, not in man.

If Jesus was God, who in the world was he praying to? Himself? That makes no since and seems a bit bi-polar. In the garden when Jesus asked God to remove this cup, but not his will be done but the Father's, what was that about? When Jesus said that the Father was greater than him, what was that about? When Jesus said that he and the Father are one, why did he leave out the Holy Spirit? Aren't they suppose to be three in one? Why is every sin forgiven except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Never not once did Jesus ever refer to himself as God, but as God's son he did repeatedly. How is it that Jesus did not know the hour when the world would end, only his Father knew?
I do believe that God and Jesus and The holy Spirit work together, but the are three very separate. God being the one and only true God. Jesus his only begotten son, first creation of everything. The Holy Spirit being God's active force to help us.They are in union with one another, just as a husband and wife are one, but separate.

ya'll are all veyr wrong... If you practice proper hermenuetics, and interpret it correctly, you will see that the Bible states and explains the trinity... the Trinity is something that we cannot fully understand,, there is NO earthly comparisson. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are One, and there are many verses that show them as ONE. But also many more verses that show them seperatly. Like when Jesus was baptized, the holy spirit sat on His shoulder like dove and God was heard from Heaven sayin he was pleased.. Also Read Genisis.. there are many plurals mentioned when God talks. I know it's very hard to grasp that they are one and three,, but there are not 3 gods only one God. With 3 different functions. I have many more verses and examples if you need them i can get them to you, but belief in the Trinity (or not) can effect your salvation.!! So study carefully!! You really need to know who God is who Jesus Is and who the Holy Spirit is to really be "full"

No the Trinity is very real. Read John Chapter 1. There is only one Lord and His name is Jesus Christ God Almighty

You are mistaken just because the doctrine of the Trinity is hard to grasp that does not make it false.
And it's attested several times in the Bible although not explicitly.
If you just go by the Bible alone you can come up with various exotic doctrines that are not Christian at all.
God is indeed one, the Most Blessed Trinity to whom be glory forever, world without end.

Then how is he a son of himself.
"As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, ‘Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.’" Mark 10:17-18
how do you explain that?
NIV John 9:13
13. Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own, it comes from the one who sent me."
and who was he talking to when he said:
"My God, My God, why has though forsaken me"
I am not a christian, but rather a muslim, i believe he was a prophet. He was "elevated" to son of god and a god after he died by the 40 or so people that wrote the bible because of their love for him.
God has no sons and has no partners.

Jesus was the son, when he arose from the dead he became the holy ghost. When Christ said he is within me he was stating that he was God in a manly form.

Even the devil can quote scripture, goes the old saying. I'm sure there are counter biblical citations that people who believe in the trinity can provide. People have been dying and killing over "is the three one" or "is the one three" for centuries. To me, it is all ludicrous.

Read your own question and you will see that you have called Jesus a three in one person that is a trinity my friend.
