Trinitarians worship 2, Jesus AND the other person Jehovah.
Of course they should worship 3, the Holy Spirit also. But the 2nd God in the trinity said that the holy spirt “has not come to speak of himself” so they can’t.
Which is odd when you consider that the old Roman trinitarian creed says that all THREE of the people in the trinity are “co-equal”.
They really shouldn’t worship the 1st person in the trinity either because “scripture” says that only JESUS saves and only his name saves and that they “should do all things, in word and deed, in the name of Jesus”.
So even though these three distinct Gods are allegedly co-equal, they clearly aren’t. You know… “according to scripture”.
@divegeestersaid Dear me, it’s a confusing mess isn’t it.
No, it's not.
Consider two parallel lines vanishing on the horizon. They appear to meet at a point beyond comprehension. The same is true with comprehending God. Our minds reach a vanishing point beyond which we lose cognitive sight.
Ultimately there is only one God, and what can be known about him can only be understood through revelation.
The Word of God informs man about everything he needs to know about God, but that can only be comprehended up to a vanishing point beyond which our intellect cannot conceive.
Beyond that it's all spiritually understood. The rejection of God's Word literally cripples spiritual comprehension and understanding.

While you are correct about many things here, Im not sure this is supported in the bible .. They really shouldn’t worship the 1st person in the trinity either because “scripture” says that only JESUS saves and only his name saves and that they “should do all things, in word and deed, in the name of Jesus”.
Jesus saves but Jesus never said to worship him. Jesus saves through the Grace of God. Jesus said people must worship God

So your rebuttal of my OP is in essence that the trinity of confusion is actually only person if you squint your eyes and look into the distance.

Surely you did vanishing points in art class in school?

Apparently you get your doctrine and advice and take your example from the likes of Thomas, the Pharisees and from other fallible men. I get mine from the mouth of Jesus Christ.

Don't worry about it. There are some things about God that will only be revealed in the hereafter of our lives.
For now, we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. - 1 Corinthians 13:12

So how is it that some Christians claim to know these things already. Do they not also have to wait unitl these are revealed hereafter, or is it that hereafter is now for them only.
@kevin-elevensaid Have you ever sincerely sought and managed to bow your haughty little self before the God Who transcends all human conceptions of God?
