The Trinity
God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).
There is only one God
The first step is to establish how many Gods exist: one! Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8; 45:5,14,18,21,22; 46:9; 47:8; John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:5-6; Gal. 4:8-9
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God" (Isaiah 45:5).
“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me," (Isaiah 44:6).
"I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God, (Isaiah 55:5).

The bible calls both Jesus and the Devil as a God.
2Cor. 4:4 – “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers”
Of course the Devil is not the creator and neither is Jesus.
The Hebrews separated the creators name from his son’s own name making it easier for us to know the difference between them.
Creator = Yahweh in Hebrew, Iehova/Jehovah in English
Creator’s Son = Yeshua in Hebrew, Jesus in English
Before anything existed, our planet earth, our universe, even the sprit world called the heavens, there was only the creator. His first action was to create a son (Yeshua/Jesus) and between the two of them created everything else.
Colossians 1:15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

HI
Yes his name is Jehovah and Jesus is his first born son.
They are separate individuals and need to be acknowledged as such. Jesus died for our sins and is king, Jehovah is the Almighty God and they both should be acknowledge as such. Colossians 1:15 tells us Jesus is the image of the invisible God the first born of all creation. Psalms 83:18 tells us God's name is Jehovah.
Hope this helps,

Yes, God is Jesus' dad and He can be yours to by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and asking Him to forgive your sins and turning to Him for eternal life. There is no other way to be saved.

Yes. Jesus used the Aramaic word "Abba" for God, which means "Daddy" -- it's a child's word for their father.

Thats daft. Does that mean Mary was gods wife or spouse then?
I thought some Christians say that Jesus is god, if some say he isnt then why do they worship him more than God? No he isnt my daddy at all.
