Messiah to God?

Well they believed he was part of God: the father, the son and the holy spirit is God (apparently)
 
What if it's all made up? That would make more sense, considering there is no evidence to suggest it is proof wouldn't it?
 
Why can't some one give some details about why is he GOD? and not only messiah? What makes him GoD?
 
i dont think he is God! I think he may be a son of God but then if God exists we are all children of God! Who does say that Jesus alone is God?
 
I thought that's what the Holy Trinity was all about, that those three parts make up God. If so then all three are the same entity.
 
Im atheist, and i think you are reading too far into Chrisitanity. A couple things after reading the arguments. Yes, Christians do put most of thier worshipping inot Jesus, but that is because he "saved" them. It only makes sense. The Trinity... well, to Chrisitans, they all "exist" and they do worship them, but that doesnt mean that it is a polytheistic religion, and it surely doesnt mean that God doesnt exist. All three are important to the religion, and therefore require worship. Why they worship Jesus completely over God is beyond me. I cant explain that,
 
Where are all the christians? I see no one is answering Lightbeing's or my questions?. Please come forward and give it a try. Thanks.

I'm not reading to far into Christianity, just pointing out the obvious. Biblically speaking, Jesus was the tool that "saved" them but "God" alone made this part of his divine plan. So I still have to disagree, it does not make sense to worship the Messiah.

The Trinity is not Biblical and logically speaking it makes more sense to consider Christianity Polytheism then to consider it Monotheism. And I never said "God" doesn't exist.

A lot of things are important to Christianity but this should not mean worship them. The Bible quotes Jesus telling worshippers not to worship him but to worship God alone....what do you make of that?
 
I see some Christian input is required here :) I know the concept of the Trinity is confusing to most people, including some Christians. I have posted at length on it somewhere (can't remember where exactly). We do not worship Jesus as a separate entity, we worship God and only God. If anybody has doubts about it, rather discard the concept of the trinity and keep it simple. It's only when you start studying Jesus' authority and identity more closely that you begin to see that He is what we could describe as the DNA of creation. Like a blueprint on a transparency - the light (God) makes visible what we see, but without God there would have been nothing to see. God is the invisible light, people were created in the image of God as visible beings with invisible spirit. Jesus was a living, walking, breathing metaphor for the church of God - his children.

The following is essential reading:
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
6There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him.
11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-
13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Children are part of their parents. You can even recognise parents' characteristics in their children. God who created life (His "word became flesh"), created us in His own image, our livelihood is based on Jesus - in a sense, we look at God though his eyes. The Bible is also the Word of God, also important, also has authority - but it is empty and dead without the spirit in which it was uttered. The Holy Spirit... but that's another topic (32Then John gave this testimony: I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.)

Ask away. I'll try to explain as best I can.
