Thanks for your questions. Since there are several
questions if I don't answer all of them as fully as you like then please write again.
First, God the Father, Christ the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all one but not all the
same person. When the Bible speaks of God speaking to either of the different persons it
is "Let us" as in "Let us make man in our image and after our
likeness" (Genesis 1:26,27). In John 1:1 The Bible says "In the beginning was
the word and the Word was WITH God and the Word WAS God the same was in the beginning with
God." Then in Verse 14 He said the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld
His glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father full of grace and truth.
Think back to the birth of Christ. He was born of
Mary. The Holy Spirit came on Mary to bring about the Birth. The Father told her what was
going to happen. At Jesus baptism, He was in the water with John the baptist. The Father
was in heaven saying, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" and the
Holy Spirit was on the way from heaven to earth in the form of a dove to light on Him.
Jesus prayed on the cross, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
When He was speaking of leaving and going back to
heaven to be with the Father and sit down on His right hand, He promised "I will send
you ANOTHER COMFORTER who will abide with you forever". In 2 John 9 we read
"Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the teachings of Christ, has not God. How
who abides in the teachings of Christ has BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON."
You don't use language like both, another and with
to refer to one person. But the Bible does often say the there is one God. What does that
mean?
In John 17:20-21 Jesus is praying to the Father. He
says, "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me
through their word; that they all may be ONE, AS YOU, FATHER, ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU;
that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me."
The way the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one is
the same way God wants Christians to be one. He doesn't want us to all be the same person.
But He wants us to have oneness in faith, in service and commitment. There are three
divine personalities who are all called God. They are one "Even as" we are one.
As far as worship to each person is concerned, it is
right to worship all members of the Godhead since they are all God. Jesus said,
"Whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." John 15:16.
I sincerely hope this is helpful.
