For Christians... How do you worship three gods?

[Anonymous]

I think you are saying Jesus is the god and Mary is the mother of the god?
May someone tell me about it

[BCRanger10]

We do not.

The Holy Trinity is three Divine Persons - God the Father (God), God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Ghost - who are distinct, but what the Church calls consubstantial with each other; they are all of the same substance, philosophically speaking.

As for Mary being the Mother of God, the first chapter of St. John's Gospel tells us that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh...". Where would this Word, Jesus Christ, become flesh? In Mary's womb. Therefore, Mary is the Mother of God.

So why God didn't help himself when they killed him

[BCRanger10]

Because it was His will to suffer and die for us on the Cross.

[Asker]

Thats big mistake

[BCRanger10]

Says who, since when, and why?

[Asker]

Jesus is a messenger from God to us.. and mary is his mom..
They are normal people..
They are just purer than us

[BCRanger10]

Except they're not. Here's an article I wrote recently that might help explain Mary a bit more... https://www. girlsaskguys. com/religion-spirituality/a69108-mary-the-christian-life

That and I'm not sure what the connection between that and your "mistake" comment is.

They are not normal people exept Mary who had simply been choise to be the one who will bring Jesus in the world.
But Jesus whas the Son of God by his words and actions.
He die on the cross in order to take all the humanity sins in to hell and clean the humanity by coming back to life BY HYMSELF

We don't, though it's an understandable mistake; the Muslim says "I say God is one" and the Christian says "I say God is one but is also three"- then the Muslim says "Huh?" because that's kind of a weird idea.

The idea behind the Trinity is that there's one God, manifested in three distinct entities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost), somewhat like the leaves of a clover (to borrow a note from Saint Patrick). Mary, meanwhile, is just the mother of Jesus; the Son in human form. She's not worshiped, just venerated, like the other Saints.

Mary isn't, God is stand alone ☺️

3 are 1 father son spirit we can understand on human level fully

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not view Mary as the mother of God, I view her as a virtuous woman who carried a baby.

[genericname85]

i'm an atheist but i still know the doctrin having grown up in it. this "holy trinity" thing is confusing even to most christians.

so in most American churches people tend to think that jesus mary and god are 3 parts of the same thing. different manifestations of god so to speak.

meanwhile in european churches people mostly think of god as separate from jesus and mariah. we don't use jesus interchangably with god at all. so it's 3 completely separate entities who are only unified by their significance in that religion.

[CountryWanderer]

We don't. Mary is called the Mother of God because God incarnated as a human and was born from her. But she isn't God. God himself is three and one at the same time: Father, Son, and Spirit. Each distinct and specific but each fully equal and one being together. I don't understand it, yet that's who he is.

[Asker]

So Who runs the world when he were in mary's stomach

[CountryWanderer]

He didn't cease to be God, he continued to be God while also simultaneously human

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Is very complicate to understand this unity but the moust easy and incomplet way to say it is

God send Jesus on eart his Son, his own creation/son and Mary is the moder of Jesus/son of God.

Jesus is direct part of God Father, but he is not actualy GOD/God Father

GOD/Father - GOD/Son - GOD/Holy Spirit -> you obey GOD (this is the mous simple way to put it)

[andreasderjuengere]

As a kind of ''protesting Protestant'':

I ''worship'' God. Only.

I am absolutely thankful and appreciative about Jesus' doings and instructions.

I see the ''Holy Spirit'' as an abstract attempt to explain how God's will has an effect on me or on others.

Only Western Christians. Coptic and Eastern Christians do not.

Christians don't worship Mary. Only Roman Catholics do that.

[BCRanger10]

Catholics don't worship Mary either.
