Let's say your name is Bill and your father's name is Bob, shall we? Who are you? Bill or Bob? You would be correct if you said Bill. The Bible says that God's name is Jehovah. See Ps. 83:18. The Bible also says at John 17:3 that God sent his son Jesus to earth. See John 17:3. The question is: Who is God? Jehovah or Jesus? The answer SHOULD be simple to everyone, but it isn't. Since the trinity doctrine came into being, much confusion has arisen about the identity of God. If you ask some people what God's name is, they will say Jesus. But how can that be since their doctrine teaches that God is made up of THREE co-equal, co-eternal persons. Only ONE of those persons is named Jesus. What about the names of the other two divine persons? Why can't they be called God too?
If God is three persons in one God, why is there no mention of faithful men of pre-christian times worshiping such a God? Did Abraham, or Samson or David say anything of a God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit? No.The trinity is a false doctrine that many uninformed people think the Bible teaches.It is a lie!

The finite mind cannot comprehend what the infinite love of God provides for his creation in the incarnation. Men have marveled at this since man was placed here on earth. Then to think that He would offer Jesus as a sacrifice for sinful man rather than wiping men out and starting over, is another thing that boggles the mind.
Worship Him! He is worthy!

I think you're confused a bit about Christianity.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was given to us as our guide and savior. He was taken from this world to forgive us all of our sins, providing we believed in him as the true Son of God.
Jesus had earthly parents as well, Mary and Joseph. They were of a special quality to be the earthly parents to the Son of God.
When Christians pray to God, they pray to the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All three are three different manifestations of God, all are one.
There is only one God. The God who created us; the God who gave us his son, Jesus Christ; the God who cares for us now.
There is a problem with people from different religions showing contempt and a complete lack of respect for each other. Especially as it pertains to the relationship of Christians and Muslims. We all believe in the same thing, the one true God, so why we're so far apart in our practice of that belief is beyond me.

Yes, this is our God, the Almighty and Eternal, through Whom all things were made, yet Who in love and humility became a human being, like us in all things but sin, so that we might have eternal life! What an incredible GOD! Praise Him!

God gave his only begotten son that any who believe in him shall be saved. God made Mary pregnant and Jesus was born human so that he could know man and so man could know God. In the end he died so that our sins against God could be forgiven. No one is hiding the truth for God is the truth. He is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The Lord in three persons. Blessed Trinity.

Yup. He was like us in all things but sin. Imagine how great a demotion that would be, from being the Creator of All down to living as one of His own creations. And He did it all, just to save your soul. Why would anyone reject such a gift?

it's all a myth. even after 2000 years, over two-thirds of the people on the earth have rejected it. go figure. the bible was edited compiled by the nicaean council in 325 AD, and that was led by a pagan roman emperor, Constantine! and that council even wrote some of the books of the bible, while throwing out over 200 other books that they (many of them Pagans) didn't approve of for political reasons!
it is so full of errors and flaws and self-contradictions, it is clearly the biggest practical joke ever played on mankind.
