Since God is a Trinity, shouldn't Jesus only be getting one third of our worship?

Question

Seriously, the mystery of the Trinity is the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit...

If you don't believe in the Trinity, then you really shouldn't bless yourself, because that's what it represents.

AAAnnnnyway, Christians here, of which I am one, (albeit Catholic, so i accept things like evolution and common sense) seem to divert all their attention to Jesus alone....

SHould Jesus not be getting just one third of all that attention?

Answer 1

It's a joint account. It doesn't matter.

Answer 2

I don't buy into the Trinity business at all, seeing it was a concept invented / formulated by Tertullian around 200 AD and adopted officially by the Roman Catholic Church about a century after that.

Until that point, the early (New Testament) Church never heard of, nor taught such a thing.

Another thing to consider is that Christians claim to worship the same God as the Jews. I find it remarkable the Roman Catholic Trinity god is in direct conflict with the nature of the Jewish God..., ask an orthodox Jew sometime.

I believe as the New Testament teaches, that Jesus is the Son of God, and he was/is the only mediator between God and Man.., he was a prophet and yet more than a prophet.., he was and is like Moses - a direct representative of God.

God's very spirit was/is in him much like the Spirit of God was (to some degree) invested in the Ark of the Covenant. Jesus being the Ark of the New Covenant, a house of God not made by human hands.

This would be a little more consistent with the Jewish God than a trinitarian God. Let me also ad that God is Spirit and he is Holy.., hence.., the Holy Spirit.

Answer 3

God is not a trinity. The trinity is based on the Athanasian Creed, not the Bible. The Creed say: "So there is One Father, not Three Fathers; one Son, not Three Sons; One Holy Ghost, not Three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore or after Other, None is greater or less than Another, but the whole Three Persons are Co-eternal together, and Co-equal."

There is NO Bibe text that says God is composed of 3 co-equal, co-eternal persons. NOT ONE!!

Jesus directed all worship to his Father. Luke 4:8.

Jesus directed all prayers to his Father through him. Matt. 6:9

Jesus called his Father the only true God at John 17:3

Jesus said his Father was greater than he was. John 14:28

Jesus is not God; he is God's Son. John 10:36

The trinity is a falsehood.

Answer 4

Jesus was created the almighty has always been here, these are the scriptures to prove it.


(Colossians 1:15-17) . . .5 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,

(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,

(Acts 7:55) 55 But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,

(Revelation 1:1) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,

(Revelation 7:10) 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Answer 5

Yep. I pray to God, I thank Jesus all the time for dying in my place, and I accept the Holy Spirit in my life.

Answer 6

Ask the trinitarians. To the Roman Catholic folks out there, their view of trinity is "GOD THRICE HOLY". But biblically speaking, there is no such thing as TRINITY.

Answer 7

they are all part of one body and one person so if u pray to Jesus, ure prayin to the rest of the trinity as well

Answer 8

I worship God as my creator,Jesus as my savior,Holy Ghost as my teacher.
I love them all ,and they love me.
Jesus is God in the flesh.<><

Answer 9

If you are Catholic - then you learned the Creed of St. Athanasius in Catechism (I hope)
