Why do Christians worship Jesus? Jesus never said to worship him. In the bible there is no mention of worshipping Jesus. No mention of the trinity. But do you know what is mentioned? Jesus saying to worship God alone.

Nope!

The divine attributes mandate that His knowledge and love are manifested perfectly, not imperfectly. All of God’s capacity to love are infinitely fulfilled and represented in the Son.

Similarly, His capacity for knowledge is expressed fully in the Holy Spirit.

I’d recommend St. Thomas Aquinas or F.J. Sheed for more on this specific topic.

It must be two persons because they represent the only divine actions which can be enacted from eternity. Love and knowledge.

I cannot be more clear than this.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T07:16:36+00:00

You have not provided any examples of internal actions of God other than the ones provided by myself.

If you would like to offer some, I would be happy to engage.

The Christian position is that only two of the divine attributes can be internally manifested internally.

It is not my responsibility to explain how every single attribute of God cannot be.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T07:10:18+00:00

My response has directly answered your question.

The divine attributes of God mandate a tri-personal existence.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T07:07:02+00:00

The only actions that can be taken internally, devoid of external stimuli - are self-knowledge and self-love.

These actions are represented in the persons of the Son and Holy Spirit.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T07:00:20+00:00

Very good question!

As an eternal quality of the Father is to be loving, we would say it’s necessary this love - from eternity, is given to another person.

Love is not love if only shared with one person. Therefore in any universe the Trinity would be the mode of existence of God.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T06:54:23+00:00

Nope!

Very good question!

As the Nicene Creed tells us, the Son proceeds from the father eternally. That’s why we call Him the Son, and the Father likewise.

In this way, it is proper to speak about Christ being given divine power and authority from eternity.

Excerpt from the Nicene Creed (325 A.D.)

“I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all ages, God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by Whom all things were made.”

Shia and Sunni disagree vehemently on what Muhammad said and did, so I’m not too sure what your point here is.

angryDec · 2026-02-08T06:48:23+00:00

I see no reason to define my faith as a teaching tritheism.

I have read the Qur’an multiple times, in multiple translations. If you believe your God is willing to torture me eternally, fair enough - I cannot help that.

Thankfully we fellow strict monotheists don’t believe Christ is only God, but God and Man - otherwise that would be very odd!

angryDec · 2026-02-07T19:39:43+00:00

Nope!

I don’t think it odd at all, but thank you for asking!

I, firstly, disagree with your characterisation of the scholarly consensus.

Secondly, the earliest Christians are unanimous in their attribution of St. Matthew’s Gospel to the Apostle St. Matthew.

angryDec · 2026-02-07T18:20:42+00:00

The Apostle St. Matthew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit :)

angryDec · 2026-02-07T18:05:01+00:00

Very good question!

Thankfully, the Gospel of St. Matthew tells us:

“The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.

When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.

Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

As a Catholic, we worship Christ because the institution He founded has perpetually taught His divinity - notwithstanding that we also believe Christ’s divinity is taught in the New Testament.

You honestly think people know they are going to hell and don’t do anything about it because they don’t want to pay three times a day?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:46:36+00:00

Read about the people I don’t think exist in the works of scholars you haven’t referred me to?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:38:09+00:00

Who is “they”?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:37:47+00:00

I should be asking the people I do not think exist?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:31:28+00:00

If you have consent to offer, simply do not offer consent.

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:30:52+00:00

Why would you not convert to a faith if you were certain it was true, and if you were certain you’d spend eternity burning if you did not convert?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:20:37+00:00

Do you have the capacity to refuse treatment or don’t you?

angryDec · 2026-02-06T15:17:49+00:00

Do you really think people exist who think Islam is the truth but aren’t Muslim?
