No. This doesn't mean we have diff. gods. Explanation: In the Old Test. God reveals Himself as Jehovah who is the FATHER. In the New Testament, God sends a son to redeem humanity... which is Jesus the SON. When Jesus is crucified, He dies and sends the HOLY SPIRIT which is the sign that Jesus has conquered death. All together.... these three characters are all One somehow. So, Jesus believers accept the God of the Old, the God of the New, and the sign of the resurrection. This explanation makes sense when a person desires to understand it. Yet, for the non believers, I would understand why there is confusion but I will say again, It's only ONE God who expresses HImself in three different forms. For example, your dad gave birth to you (thru your mom) and if you have a son... you gave birth to him thru your wife, right? Well, this is the same... same lineage! As far as Mother Mary.... that's for Catholics. People praise her b/c if not for her... Jesus wouldn't have existed yet people don't realize that Mary was just the vessel God used, He could've very well used another women. We never give glory to the instruments but the God that uses the instruments. It's a litle twisted but if people feel their faith has grown thru her... then more power to them= to each's own.

The father, son, and holy spirit is considered the trinity (3 in 1) so there isn't more than one God. You go to the father through the son because Jesus was the living sacrifice for all of our sins. And I'm not sure about the whole askin' Mary.... My church doesn't practice that.

Three divine persons in one God. It is a mystery and cannot be explained in human terms. It is a supernatural entity and no human can explain it naturally. But this may help .
Bear always in mind that this is the rule of faith which I profess; by it I testify that the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit are inseparable from each other, and so will you know in what sense this is said. Now, observe, my assertion is that the Father is one, and the Son one, and the Spirit one, and that They are distinct from Each Other. This statement is taken in a wrong sense by every uneducated as well as every perversely disposed person, as if it predicated a diversity, in such a sense as to imply a separation among the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit. I am, moreover, obliged to say this, when (extolling the Monarchy at the expense of the Economy) they contend for the identity of the Father and Son and Spirit, that it is not by way of diversity that the Son differs from the Father, but by distribution: it is not by division that He is different, but by distinction; because the Father is not the same as the Son, since they differ one from the other in the mode of their being. For the Father is the entire substance, but the Son is a derivation and portion of the whole, as He Himself acknowledges: My Father is greater than I.' In the Psalm His inferiority is described as being a little lower than the angels.' Thus the Father is distinct from the Son, being greater than the Son, inasmuch as He who begets is one, and He who is begotten is another; He, too, who sends is one, and He who is sent is another; and He, again, who makes is one, and He through whom the thing is made is another

Because they see no difference between the father and son . It is hoped ht they do see the difference between the mother and wife at least .However they do not see any differnece between man and woman and are therefore now-a-days marrying among the same sex perhaps in accordance with the teachings of thier father of the son of God or the holy spirit .Jesus Christ was always surrounded by men only and all the priests in the catholic churches knwo the secrets and follow their father or son.in thier life and fce criminal charges and the churches pay millions in compensation fo the victims of molestation by the preiests in following the father or son.
The son has gone toheaven with his flesh and blood and deposed the oiginal father and become a father though he had no father or not born of his legitimate father and born of he heavenly father whilke the legal father was continued as he husband of his mother .such adultry is permitted in the case of he heavenly fahter who is known to be a God . It is an offence to think logically becasue of this behaviour of God . It is not known why god did not hav his own wife to beget his own son.and chose a questionable method . May be such thngs are legitimate for this religion only and all other religions are false , bad and demonic .What a great virtueis attributed to God !
Every religion has its dark sides too.because ther eligions wer created bymen who did not know much about what was happening around themselves.

Any trinitarian (most Christians) believe that God is 3 in person, 1 in essence; otherwise Jesus was praying to himself.
Only Catholics pray to or through Mary and the saints. Some Christians take a hard-line against that kind of idolatry and conclude that it is not a Christian church but actually what is referred to in Revelation as "Babylon." (an evil organization against God that has a lot of earthly power) I believe that they arent too much different than many other churches, they have some very poor theology. Are they truly evil and against God? ill let him decide. Ive known many Catholics and they can be some of the most awesome Biblically principled people Ive ever met.

False Christianity has many gods. However, the Father, Jehovah is the only Almighty God. His son, Jesus said himself that we must approach God through him in prayer. This is because Jesus' death clears the way for us to have open communication to God. The holy spirit is God's power, or active force, not a sentient being. And as far as I know, only Catholics worship Mary, which is not taught in the Bible at all...

Let me tell you what we as LDS (Mormon) believe about "gods"
God our Heavenly Father is our God and creator of our spirits
Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son in the flesh, is the Lord of this earth, He created our bodies and everything on the earth under the direction of God the Father. We love him and recognize him as our Lord and Savior because of the Atonement, Crucifixtion and Resurrection and perfect example.
The Holy Ghost is a spirit personage of a man and we are promised his companionship when given the "gift" of the Holy Ghost after baptism. One can feel his presence before baptism, he is who converts and provides a "witness" to the person of all truth of the gospel.
All three are one in purpose and love, but not body or spirit.

Well, I couldn't quote from the Bible about praying to "mother mary" anyway. That's Catholocism, not true Christianity, so there's nothing in the Bible pertaining to that....
Why Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Because the three are one, just as there are three facets to YOU that are one....you are a spirit, you possess a soul (which is your mind, your will, and your emotions), and you live in a physical body.
He created us in His image, so it makes sense that He would be triune (three in one) just as we are.
But if you honestly don't know why we needed the Son, then you'd better find a good Word-believing, Spirit-filled, faith-based church and discover that for yourself!
