I believe they all worshiped One God, but when Jesus (pbuh) was raisen 2000 years back, did he claim that i am the son of god and did he insisted that he is on the same faith as that of other prophets before him?

isnt it ironic that we hav never heard Ibrahim, Isacc, Joseph and Moses( peace unto all of them) never once utter a worshipping prayer to Jesus a.s., even though chritians worship Jesus a.s.

The people of the old testament, worshipped , Yahweh, His name could not even be spoken it was so Holy. Throughout the OT, this Yahweh or Jehovah, gave them the promise of the coming Messiah. Jesus Christ is of the same faith as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses. In the new testament He also, included the gentiles, which started the Church, the birth of Christianity. Yahweh said that Jesus is His son, in whom He is well pleased. If God said Jesus is His Son then I believe Him.

Jesus and the holy spirit had not entered the picture when the people you mentioned were alive so they would have died without the knowledge of wither. That does not mean Jesus and the holy spirit did not exist. When you die your children and children's children with continue to sire offspring and have ideas that will hopefully radically change the world or at least have some impact. The fact that you may never see them does not mean they will not exist. Therefore you are asking a question that has no relevance to Jesus and the holy spirit. Have a nice day...

find something worth spending time learning.
The religious writings are impossible to interprit in one way. They were ment to be very confusing so that no matter what happens they can point to the old text and say see i told you so.
Fortune tellers know this trick very well and use it all the time to get money from people. It sure is amaZing how many people believe what fortune tellers say. It is the same with the religions. It is trickery more than enything else.

They worshiped one God. They lived BC. The world as a whole knew nothing about the trinity yet.

Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, and Moses were JEWISH.
Of course they believed in the ONE G-D, as Judaism believes in the one undivided G-d who has no physical children.
Believing in any trinity is considered idolatry!!!

I don't know if they knew about the Trinity or not. I do know Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am." And Paul talks about how the old heroes such as Abraham (from afar) rejoiced when Jesus Christ came to earth.

The 'trinity' conception was started somewhere along the lines in christian history! So those above mentioned names couldn't believe in it because christianity wasn't around then, and they were Jewish!

The idea of the Trinity is based on the ancient belief of pagan gods that were all seeing. To depict this, their statues were carved with three faces. This false teaching was imported into Christianity 300 years after Jesus lived.
The early Jews worshipped only one god.
(Exodus 3:13-15) Nevertheless, Moses said to the [true] God: “Suppose I am now come to the sons of Israel and I do say to them, ‘The God of YOUR forefathers has sent me to YOU,’ and they do say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?” 14 At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.’” 15 Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of YOUR forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to YOU.’ This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation.
(Exodus 6:3) And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.
There is no indication here that Jesus was known about.
However, When Proverbs was written by Solomon and Agur, 700 years before Jesus, Solomon was inspired to write Proverbs 8; 22-31.
