Do Christians Worship Three Gods or One God?

Christians unequivocally worship one God, not three. The doctrine of the Trinity posits that God exists as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—but these are co-equal, co-eternal, and one in essence. To simplify, one might consider the mathematical concept where one multiplied by one, divided by one, or raised to any power, remains one. This analogy, while limited, helps to conceptualize how God can be singular in nature yet plural in personhood.

Biblical Foundation for the Trinity:

Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." - This verse, known as the Shema, establishes the monotheistic belief central to both Judaism and Christianity, affirming that God is one.

Matthew 28:19 - "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." - Here, Jesus commands baptism in the name of the Trinity, clearly delineating the three persons of God yet emphasizing their unity under one name.

John 1:1, 14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." - This passage elucidates the concept of the Word (Logos) being God, who then became incarnate as Jesus Christ, showcasing the divine unity and the mystery of the Incarnation.

The Trinity is not a contradiction of monotheism but an expansion of understanding what it means for God to be one. Even in Islamic theology, there's an acknowledgment of Allah's eternal word and spirit, which parallels the Christian understanding of the Trinity. However, in Christianity, this Word becomes flesh in Jesus Christ, not merely a book as in Islamic doctrine.
