Why don't you pray to him directly? If you say that Jesus, father, and holy ghost are 3 in one, will they all exist in heaven? And if they all exist seperately, then they must be recognized as 3 different gods.

This is one of the great mysteries that will be revealed at the end of time. The best way I can get my mind around this is by looking at ice and water. Both are exactly the same substance H20. But they exist in a different form, have different qualities,and function differently in the world.
Likewise, I believe there is one true and living God. He exists, though, in three different forms or personalities. Each separate personality has different qualitites and different functions. God the Father acts as a father. Jesus is the form of God that acts as our Savior. The Holy Spirit is the form of God that acts as our intermediary and strengthener.
The first question I will ask God at the end of time is "Now exactly how did this all work?" I bet I'll be surprised. But then maybe not. Maybe this is exactly how it works. Something to look forward to I think.

The Bible only talks of one God, not 3 in one or 3 . I pray to Jesus because thats the namemof the father,son,and holy spirit (Mat 28:29 / Acts 2:38) . The bible says that Jesus is the invisible God made visible (1Tim 3:16) . Isaiah talks about Jehova or The Lord saving his people , healing them,giving them their sight, walking on water, and all those things Jesus did (Jehova Isaiah 35:4-6 /Jesus Luke 7:22) .

Not true, they are all one God in three persons - Where the Father is so is the Son, where the Son is so is the Holy Ghost etc.. If you pray to the Son you are prayin to the Holy Ghost and the Father. Another words if you pray to one person of the trinity you are praying to them all but they are still three distinct persons. Ultimately all prayer goes through our Lord Jesus Christ.

It doesn't matter which three persons we pray to. This is a very hard concept to grasp. The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three PERSONS of God. Think of it as H2O. H2O can be ice, water, and water vapor all at one time. God exists everywhere, mainly Heaven and Earth (i dunno about hell). The Holy Spirit is usually refered to God on Earth because in the first four book of the New Testament, Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to us. (when Jesus leaves, at the end)

God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is one, not three. And I'm not sure what you mean by saying the Father is the leader. I'm not familiar with that expression as a Christian. I never refer to the Father as the leader. He is the sender. He is the begetter. These are the functional aspects of the person of the Father & says absolutely nothing concerning the ontological unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We do pray to the Father, like Jesus told us to.
God has chosen to interact with mankind in three forms; Father, Son, Holy Spirit. He is ONE.

All those of The True Christian Faith pray directly to God... There is only one True God... God has chosen to interact with mankind in three forms; Father, Son, Holy Spirit. He could use as many different forms as he chooses... he could make himself apear as a sparrow on your window sill if he chose to...

Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father, who art in heaven"........
so we pray to God the Father. Jesus makes it possible for us to pray to God. The Holy Spirit, if he dwells in the believer, sometimes prays on our behalf.

There is only one God in heaven and you will find no other. We pray to our Father through the way He provided for us to Him and that is Jesus Christ. God seeing our helpless condition made himself the way between Himself and man.

Sam, I'm sorry you are so ignorant of the Word of God, and its shows in your question.
Ask first, who is God? When did He make Himself know to us in this World Age? Is it written down for us to read and study?
Just a few minutes ago I answered someone else who asked the same thing. You have a body, soul, and spirit. God does to.
Study study study. Pray pray pray. Your answers are always right in front of you.><>
