Most Christians say there is one God. that a trinity is really one. It is confusing and most rational people don't try to justify it. Christians just take it on faith. I don't know why Jesus talks and prays to himself all the time but that is Christianity. One god Monothesitic. Confused? join the crowed

I am a Christian and yes, I am monotheistic. I believe in one God who is three parts Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (kinda like one person can be a mother, wife, and teacher, and all the same person.) Jesus was fully God and fully human and I believe faith in him is the only way to heaven. I do not sanctify the virgin Mary, she had the awesome honour to be the mother of Jesus, but she is not God, and not someone to be worshiped. I also do not pray to/for Saints...or whatever you meant by that. God is the only one I pray to about whatever is on my heart!

I do not pray for Saints nor I sanctify Virgin Mary.
Monotheistic means that we worship only one God.

Mono-one God, Jesus is begotten of the Father, the Spirit proceeds from God. One God. Mary is not God, not even in Catholic Cannon, The prayers to saints is tradition not cannon Law and not done by all Christians. Nice try though.

yes but God is the supreme being over them. You pray to God even though you have to pray with Jesus's name. And it's catholicism that worships the Virgin Mary and pray to Saints, not Christians...

because you can only worphip one god. The others are worshiped as well, but they are not, as they say, "gods".
Then this brings up the issue of pagan religions' gods (not that they, within themselves, are issues). They place one god higher above the others. Christianity is the same, but without the name "god" on all the rest of the holy people.
It is just a literal inturperetation... a figurative mind would see that they are the same.

People who pray to saints aren't christians, their following the traditions of the catholic church. And trinial means that God reveals Himself in different forms, not that there are 3 seperated gods.

You're referring to the Holy Trinity (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) are interconnected. Catholics are the only Christian denomination that prays to Mary and saints. Other Christians don't because they are regular humans like you and me.

MONO = 1
theistic = God
He is 1 God. Even if He exists in 3 parts. Just as you are one person made up of mind, body, and spirit.
And not all Christians worship Mary.
