“Jesus
was sent by God to save the world from the sin and death we inherited
from Adam and Eve when they disobeyed him in the Garden of Eden. How
could he be God when Jesus tells us in the Lord’s prayer how we are
to pray to God our Father.”

Answer to member’s comment, the Bible says that we are to pray to the
Father in the name of Jesus. Jesus is the mediator, which means that
He is the go-between God the Father and men. Jesus is like a bridge.
You cross the bridge to get to your destination. So you go through
Jesus to get to God the Father.

The
Bible teaches that the
Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
The Bible also teaches that there is only one God. Though we can
understand some facts about the relationship of the different Persons
of the Trinity to one another, ultimately, it is still a mystery to
the human mind. However, this does not mean the Trinity is not true
or that it is not based on the teachings of the Bible.
