According to the Bible, should we pray to Jesus or directly to God?

• If there is no trinity or Trithism, then why does the Lord's prayer end with "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen." ?????
  
  Looks pretty clear to me that we are taught in this prayer that all three are important (and in that order).

• John 10:30 "I and my Father are One"
  Tritheism. We don't believe in three gods, we believe in one eternal being, God, whose being supports three consciousnesses which we call Persons.
  And the Trinity is an essential part of Christian doctrine! Without it there is no salvation! Jehovah's Witness, Mormons, and Unitarians will be cast into the fiery pits of hell where the shrieking never ceases and the wormwood twists in agony. Hell is destruction; you will enter a state of Having Been a person, eternally seperate from God.

• It is true that the Bible does mention or put the Father, the Son and the holy spirit together.Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are instances of this. Neither of these texts says that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are coequal or coeternal or that all are God. We need to examine closely what the Bible really says and as I have previously mentioned there is no scripture that says that God and Jesus are equal in the way the trinity doctrine states.

• The trinity doctrine teaches that the Father, the Son and the holy spirit are all co-equal in eternity, power, wisdom but what does the Bible say. Search as you may, you will not find one scripture that uses the word Trinity, nor will you find any that says that Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom. Not even a single scripture says that the Son is equal to the Father in those ways—and if there were such a scripture, it would establish not a Trinity but at most a “duality.” Nowhere does the Bible equate the holy spirit with the Father.

• The one they added at 1John 5:7 to try to prove the Trinity comes close though. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John5:7-8;&version=31;77;51;72;47;
  Jesus clarified things at John 17:3.
