if christians don't worship the holy spirit, then WHY is it a part of the Trinity (God)?
917038
There is only one true God.  I do not as a christian worship the holy spirit nor Jesus Christ.  The Bible never gave such directions, only to worship one God as one.  the holy spirit is God's active force and Jesus  as his son never wanted worship for himself

The trinity is not a Christian teaching. And Christians do not need a visible symbol of their faith. They go on "walking by faith, not by sight." (2 Cor. 5:7)

I'm not a rabbi, but I am Jewish, and I can tell you that the concept of the trinity is not part of Jewish doctrine.\n\nAccording to Judaism, there's one God, not divided in any way, period.  Hope that helps!

Friend, the trinity doctine will always dis-agreed with there is only One God, They try to make Jesus God, when they do that then they are saying God Died. I was once myself a trinity when I first got saved in 1970, The Godhead is the very first thing God revealed to me. If those Trinity believers, can prove that anyone in the bible were ever baptized in the TITLES of the father, son, & holy ghost, I would like to see it, Everyone that was baptized was Baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

in my book of prayers, some of the prayers are dedicated to the Father, others to the Son and others to the Holy Ghost.\nThe Son, Jesus Christ, and also the Holy Ghost descend from the Father. But the Holy Trinity makes a single God, not three.\nIt's like we have a mind, a body and a spirit. Three different elements, but a single person. We don't only cultivate our mind, but eat in order to feed our body, and need emotional contact in order to fulfil our spiritual needs...

Should You Believe in the Trinity? \n\nWhat Does the Bible Say About God and Jesus?  \n \n\n\nIF PEOPLE were to read the Bible from cover to cover without any preconceived idea of a Trinity, would they arrive at such a concept on their own? Not at all. \n\nWhat comes through very clearly to an impartial reader is that God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, separate and distinct from anyone else, and that Jesus, even in his prehuman existence, is also separate and distinct, a created being, subordinate to God. \n\nGod Is One, Not Three\n \n \n\n\nTHE Bible teaching that God is one is called monotheism. And L. L. Paine, professor of ecclesiastical history, indicates that monotheism in its purest form does not allow for a Trinity: "The Old Testament is strictly monotheistic. God is a single personal being. The idea that a trinity is to be found there . . . is utterly without foundation." \n\nWas there any change from monotheism after Jesus came to the earth? Paine answers: "On this point there is no break between the Old Testament and the New. The monotheistic tradition is continued. Jesus was a Jew, trained by Jewish parents in the Old Testament scriptures. His teaching was Jewish to the core; a new gospel indeed, but not a new theology. . . . And he accepted as his own belief the great text of Jewish monotheism: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God.'" \n\nThose words are found at Deuteronomy 6:4. The Catholic New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) here reads: "Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh."* In the grammar of that verse, the word "one" has no plural modifiers to suggest that it means anything but one individual. \n\nThe Christian apostle Paul did not indicate any change in the nature of God either, even after Jesus came to the earth. He wrote: "God is only one."—Galatians 3:20; see also 1 Corinthians 8:4-6. \n\nThousands of times throughout the Bible, God is spoken of as one person. When he speaks, it is as one undivided individual. The Bible could not be any clearer on this. As God states: "I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory." (Isaiah 42:8) "I am Yahweh your God . . . You shall have no gods except me." (Italics ours.)—Exodus 20:2, 3, JB. \n\nWhy would all the God-inspired Bible writers speak of God as one person if he were actually three persons? What purpose would that serve, except to mislead people? Surely, if God were composed of three persons, he would have had his Bible writers make it abundantly clear so that there could be no doubt about it. At least the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures who had personal contact with God's own Son would have done so. But they did not. \n\nInstead, what the Bible writers did make abundantly clear is that God is one Person—a unique, unpartitioned Being who has no equal: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. With the exception of me there is no God." (Isaiah 45:5) "You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth."—Psalm 83:18. \n\nNot a Plural God\n \n \n\n\nJESUS called God "the only true God." (John 17:3) Never did he refer to God as a deity of plural persons. That is why nowhere in the Bible is anyone but Jehovah called Almighty. Otherwise, it voids the meaning of the word "almighty." Neither Jesus nor the holy spirit is ever called that, for Jehovah alone is supreme. At Genesis 17:1 he declares: "I am God Almighty." And Exodus 18:11 says: "Jehovah is greater than all the other gods." \n\nIn the Hebrew Scriptures, the word ´eloh'ah (god) has two plural forms, namely, ´elo·him' (gods) and ´elo·heh' (gods of). These plural forms generally refer to Jehovah, in which case they are translated in the singular as "God." Do these plural forms indicate a Trinity? No, they do not.

the trinity is a polytheistic belief but Christians believe that they are monotheistic because they believe that these three people are three parts of one deity, which is NOT supported by the bible,\n\nthis belief was created by emperor Constantine, who was a pagan but converted to Christianity and wanted every other pagan too also, so he made the church start this dogma, it is not true the father the son and the holy spirit are three different beings, the son and the holy spirit are NOT to be worshiped. \nJesus is the SON and is not God himself. the concept of the Trinity is blasphemous and absurd.

The concept of Christianity is so complex to some, especially the little ones and some big ones.  The Father(GOD), the son(JESUS), and the Holy Spirit(Comforter) are all the same.  God came down to mankind(us) in the form of the son( Jesus) and he remains with us as the Holy Spirit(Comforter). He is three-in-one, the same. He can do this because he is the Creator(GOD). He loved us so much that he came in human form to save mankind.\n\nI pray this helps you.

yes, Jesus is included in that commandment. Jesus and god are one. There is a thing that is called the trinity- god the father, god the son, and god the holy spirit

I'm not sure the classic explanation of the Trinity is the only way to reconcile the scriptures that have led to that doctrine, actually.  I think it is much simpler than we make it out to be.  I believe that the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are simply in complete agreement with each other.  Therefore when one speaks, He speaks for all three of them.  And when you talk to one, you essentially talk to all three.  There is no plurality of ideas or desires, no conflict.  In that sense, and I believe in that sense only, they are one.

Trinity is three in one. God the Father, God the son and God the holispirit. Its like all huimans are trinity as well except that their components are cant work without the others. God is father in soul the most important part. Jesus is God in form of Human being and The Holispirit is God in spirit. \nso the three components of trinity is Soul, Body and spirit\n                                                           God,  Jesus, Holispirit

Many Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.\n\nOne God\nGod is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.\n\nSo, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.\n\nGod exists in three persons\n\nThe "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human. In the Oriental Orthodox theology, the Chalcedonian formulation is rejected in favor of the position that the union of the two natures, though unconfused, births a third nature: redeemed humanity, the new creation.\n\nIn the Trinity, the Three are said to be co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. However, as laid out in the Athanasian Creed, only the Father is unbegotten and non-proceeding. The Son is begotten from (or "generated by") the Father. The Spirit proceeds from the Father (or from the Father and through the Son — see filioque clause for the distinction).\n\nIt has been stated that because God exists in three persons, God has always loved, and there has always existed perfectly harmonious communion between the three persons of the Trinity.

Scripture does not teach that God is a "trinity".  It is a doctrine of men, particularly Constantine and his band of merry bishops who concocted this idea by actually stealing it from other pagan religions.  \n\nDo you think for one moment that Abraham thought God was a "trinity"?  The Israelites knew that God the Father was one, and that He alone is God Almighty.\n\n"Let US make man in our image"...refers to the "Elohim" (sons of God/angelic beings)  who had already been created and were witnessing the Most High as He created this world and all that is in it and around it.  The "us" could have more specifically referred to the 24 Elders that surround His throne since the creation of the Elohim in heaven.\n\nI Corinthians 8:6 tells us there is one true God...the Father.  He is ONE (Deuteronomy 6:4). \n\nIt is very simple.  God is one...not two, or three, or three in one, or three substances.

the trinity matter is quite a mystery that's difficult to verbalize.  as long as human are trying grasp all concepts related to "God," there are going to be loopholes and errors, and the like.  \n\nI hope you're not simply looking for fault.\n\nRemember, you might have eloquence of an angel, but if you don't have love..................

My point about that commandment is....why would it even be in there if no other gods existed for people to worship?\n\nAs a pagan, I use that argument on annoying Christians trying to make me "take Jesus into my heart". They don't like it much--it makes them think and that hurts their heads.\n\nBut your question is only about Jesus. If the Trinity is Father-Son-Holy Ghost then Jesus doesn't count as a different god.

No.\n\n‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’\n\n - Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
