christians claim that God is 3 in 1 - Jesus, God, Holy spirit. if Jesus is a God then why did he worship a God? did Jesus worship himself? why didnt Jesus just claim himself to be the one God because he is part of the God thus trinity himself rather than claiming he is the son of God and that he worshipped a God? and why would God want to have a son and be 3 element since God is so mighty and divine? dont you think its man-made? why cant you just accept that God is only one and that He didnt have any son? sorry if i offended anyone.

Jesus said "Not everyone that saith unto me , Lord ,Lord.shall inter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7: 21 ) It seems like most people might not go to heaven because they don't want to understand your Q . (John 10:30 I and my Father are one .) If you really want to understand your Q you can ask the Holy Spirit to help you to understand . - John 10: 26 ,Jesus said , " But ye believe not , because ye are not of my sheep , as I said unto you. John 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice and I know them , and they follow me.

Jesus said he that believeth on me believe not on me but believe on him that sent me. John 12:44 Jehovah, that is what he said his name is, said Isaiah 45:6-7 I am God, and there is none else, There is no God beside me. Etc.In Isaiah 9:6-7 We find That it says Jesus will be called mighty god. People do call him that. However what do Jesus and god say? Jehovah is called God Almighty. Everything god does he does through Jesus. That is because it pleases him. Jesus said in the NT before Abraham was I am, people back then thought that to mean that He was saying he was equal to god. However if you read it you will find that is not what he is saying at all. They have changed the bible over the years. It used to say gods name over 7000 times. Today they are taking it out completely. As well as calling Jesus god in it.
The bible does not teach the trinity. When it says that the father the son and the holy spirit are one. It also says that about a husband and wife. They are working for the same things. At least they are supposed to. I am not offended at all. If you're interested don't rely on any one else's word. People make mistakes and then they tell it for truth. Study it for yourself. I want to add when they took god's name out they replaced it with lord which they also call Jesus. This confuses a lot of people. I think maybe that's why it was done. Not all people love god.

The whole divine economy is the common work of the three divine persons. For as the Trinity has only one and the same natures so too does it have only one and the same operation: "The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not three principles of creation but one principle."97 However, each divine person performs the common work according to his unique personal property. Thus the Church confesses, following the New Testament, "one God and Father from whom all things are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and one Holy Spirit in whom all things are".98 It is above all the divine missions of the Son's Incarnation and the gift of the Holy Spirit that show forth the properties of the divine persons.

1 God that includes 3 distinct parts. God sent his son to die for us sinners so that we might be saved and one day reside with him in Heaven. By God sending his son it shows his love for us sinners. He sent the Holy Spirit to reside with us on earth and give us comfort until we are with him in Heaven. God is Almighty! Please study, ask questions, read the Bible. find out as much as you can because it is your free will to make the decision to accept him and live for him.
Each member of the Trinity is God: The Father is God: John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2. The Son is God: John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God: Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16 (The One who indwells is the Holy Spirit - Romans 8:9; John 14:16-17; Acts 2:1-4).

The "Son of God" (Daniel 3:25) was a title for the Meshiach who was to come. He was also prophesied to be God come in the flesh as prophesied in the scriptures (verified by the Sanhedrin in Matthew 26:63).
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I have accepted that God is one, 37 yrs. ago, & I have accepted that God had a son, There is one spirit, But 3 different manifestation of the one spirit, You have God as the creator, Then God in Jesus Christ as the redemer, reconciliny this planet & all creation back unto himself, then by the same spirit we have God as the Holy Ghost, & not 3 different spirits or persons, God is not a Person but a spirit, Jesus was the SON OF GOD.

Congradulations on your reasoning ability!
The Almighty God of the Bible is orderly. Therefore His teachings would make sense. He would make sense. TRINITY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!
Of course Jesus and Jehovah would be one in agreement. I agree with other people on a few things but, that doesn't mean we are the same people. Jesus never refered to the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost as a person at all It was God's active force or power.
When in the presence of a truly powerful leader you can almost feel the power when he enters the room. That power is not a person but you feel it.

that is the problem you view GOD from human point of view that has limited knowledge about GOD. 1*1*1=1 not 1+1+1=3. Example water it can be in 3 form gas, liquid and solid but it still water. He created his only son to show his love to us, so that GOD in physical form can experienced the sins that he cannot experienced in spirit form. Jesus pray to GOD because he was created us a human just like you and me. If Jesus was not Son of GOD why Muhammad couldn't measure up to Jesus miracle and healing power

If that were the case than God's word would be a lie, that would mean you are calling God a liar. For His word clearly describes Jesus as LORD and Father of all!
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
-They are ONE in the same! -And there is more scripture pertaining to this. Also, Jesus defeated death, only God can do this-- only God can defeat sin and hell because HE is the only one who is sinless!

The trinity concept is descriptive of a unified, transcendent psychological state - benevolent father concept/reason (son of man concept)/pure love (remembering your passion or following your bliss) - which is required to experience empowerment and heaven in this lifetime.
