Question

i understand the trinity concept but u must concentrate at one god when u pray right? u can refer all three altogether at one time.. by the way, just choose one only..

Answer 1

Dear Friend,

Your question is based on the false teaching of the Trinity, consider the following: The Father is God, the Son is Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is gods active force on the earth,

They are seperate beings, Many people will tell you that they exist as a trinity, but this is simply not true, consider the following scripture.

John 14:28"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Also

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.

If the Trinity doctrine was true, then who resurrected Jesus when he was dead? and why did Jesus say the father is 'Greater that I'

Therefore pray to God, but in Jesus name. Jesus is our redeemer and King, but is the Son of God, not God himself

God Bless

Answer 2

A number of times Jesus referred to the Father and Himself in the plural. These passages are in the Book of John, the New Testament writer who more than any other identified Jesus as God and the Father It is wrong for anyone to suppose this plural usage to mean that Jesus is a separate person in the Godhead from the Father. However, it does indicate a distinction between the deity (Father) and humanity (Son) of Jesus Christ. The Son, who is visible, revealed the Father, who is invisible. Thus, Jesus said, "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also" (John 8:19); "The Father hath not left me alone (John 8:29); "He that hateth me hateth my Father also" (John 15:23); "Now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father" (John 15:24); and "I am not alone, because the Father is with me" (John 16:32). These verses of Scripture use the plural to express a consistent theme: Jesus is not just a man, but He is God also. Jesus was not an ordinary man as He appeared to be outwardly. He was not alone, but He had the Spirit of the Father within Him. This explains the dual nature of Jesus and reveals the oneness of God. How was the Father with Jesus? The logical explanation is that He was in Jesus. Therefore, if you know Jesus, you know the Father; if you see Jesus, you see the Father; and if you hate Jesus, you hate the Father. II John 9 states, "He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." What is the doctrine of Christ? It is the doctrine that Jesus is the Messiah; He is the God of the Old Testament manifested in flesh. In other words, the apostle wrote that if we understand the doctrine of Christ we will realize that Jesus is both the Father and the Son. We therefore deny neither the Father nor the Son. When we accept the doctrine of Christ, we accept the doctrine of both the Father and the Son. It is also true that if we deny the Son we are denying the Father, but if we acknowledge the Son we have acknowledged the Father also (I John 2:23).

Answer 3

The Holy trinity comprises of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. When you pray you pray to all three 'persons'. God is threefold. However, they all have different functions. The Holy Spirit converts your prayers into acceptable prayers before it goes to God, Jesus is the mediator, who pleads our cause on our behave-by his death and the father accepts these prayers and mediation. Your prayers are therefore answered by God(the Holy Trinity). They work together for our salvation.

Answer 4

The Bible says that no man can get to the father but through the son Jesus, we are separated from Him because of sin but Jesus bridges the gap and intercedes on our behalf to Him. I think that when you pray you should pray to the father but in ending you could say, in the name of Jesus Christ.

2. Trinity:
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)


3. Father:
God the eternal Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The qualities and powers exhibited in the Son and the Holy Spirit are also revelations of the Father. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Tim. 1:17; Ex. 34:6, 7; John 14:9.)

4. Son:
God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:15-19; John 10:30; 14:9; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17-19; John 5:22; Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 8:1, 2; John 14:1-3.)

5. Holy Spirit:
God the eternal Spirit was active with the Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation, and redemption. He inspired the writers of Scripture. He filled Christ's life with power. He draws and convicts human beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the image of God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in harmony with the Scriptures leads it into all truth. (Gen. 1:1, 2; Luke 1:35; 4:18; Acts 10:38; 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:11, 12; Acts 1:8; John 14:16-18, 26; 15:26, 27; 16:7-13.)

Answer 5

Um, I remember being Christian and praying to the entire Trinity.

And when you pray to one you are praying to all of them. This isn't a pick and choice type of thing for Christians. All three persons are one - so when you pray to Jesus - you are praying also to God and the Holy Spirit.

Answer 6

I pray to God the creator but because I'm imperfect, I pray through His Son Jesus.

Answer 7

There's no reason to only pray to one. There's no reason to choose only one. You want the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the grace of Christ, and the mercy and blessings from God.

Answer 8

I reject the concept of the trinity. It is NOT scriptural. When I pray (according to the bible), I pray to Jehovah God, through his son Jesus Christ. So something like this Our great a loving father Jehovah..................... I ask this through your son and our King Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

No you don't understand the trinity theory, There is ONLY ONE GOD, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH ONE BAPTISM, & God is the creator of all things. When John the Revelator was allow to see into heaven. He only saw one throne in heaven & Jesus sat on it. Because Jesus is still our mediator. Once he comes off that throne of Mercy, he will no longer be our mediator.

Answer 10

i pray to the father in the name of the son and the holy spirit give me the peace as an answer that my prayers. but it just one God he divide him self into three so we could understand his power, is like you you are flesh ( your body), soul( that is who you are) and spirit( the energy that make you be alive and when it leave that mean that you are dead. but that doesnt mean that you are 3 no you are just 1
