hello

my name is sadegh and although im a muslim i really respect christians. i am living in a country which any other religion except islam sounds wrong, so i cant argue with my friends or clergy men. i really wanted to know more about trinity. is this corret that christians worship three gods? i mean i totally think this is wrong but you should hear the other side of the coin in here i mean how muslims think of this as a reason not to come to christianity. i would really appreciate it if you could give me some information regarding that.

yours truly

Hey, thanks for the question! I'll try my best to answer it.

The idea that Christians worship three different gods is a common misconception. When we say that the trinity has three different parts, it is like saying that a human has different parts. I have a soul, a brain, and a body. All three are a part of me, and they each have unique characteristics. It is the same with the Trinity. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all part of one God, they just have slightly different characteristics. They are not separate individual gods. Just like a triangle has three different sides, God's nature has three different parts to it. They are perfectly united in one being, and we worship one God, and one God only. We believe that Jesus himself was fully man and fully God, not a different god.

Hopefully that helps to clear this up for you!

God is one God, but has 3 dimensions of personality ... God the Father, God the Son - Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.
We ourselves have 3 parts to us .. body, soul, and spirit. We are not 3 separte beings .. but we have 3 dimensions of our being.
God created us in His image ... the 3 dimensions of Himself.
I hope this helps.
May our great God of mercy and grace, grant you His spirit to bring you His truth and bless you with the joyful knowledge of Christ Jesus the Saviour.

1x1x1=1 ,
or Father x Son x Holy Spirit = One God.
