1 God, 3 aspects .. all are 1, 1 is all.. this is the mystery of Faith.

as many people as there are in the world who believe in a GOd...I believe everyone has their own intreptation as to what God really is..Some organized religions try to categorize her/him (if she/he exists)..but in the end the individual must decide what God is.

There is one God and only one God. He is personal and knowable. He manifests Himself in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

None?

There is ONE God.

In the context of the category in which this question is placed there is one tripartite God.

There is only ONE 'Almighty God'. His name is @Psalms 83:18 in the King James Version (the original, not the newer versions) There is one Son, who is a god and there is the Holy Spirit, which is not an entity, but is the manifestation of God's actions (active force). There are many gods and goddesses. The Bible calls Satan 'the god of this system of things' Many other 'gods' are mentioned in the Bible. People make many things their 'gods' in that they give all their time, energy and resources to that 'thing'. Nationalism/Patriotism is a form of idolatry, the modern day version of bowing down to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar set up.

(((sigh))) Too bad we don't invest as much time EXPERIENCING God as we do DEFINING Him.

It's just the one god but he represents all of those things. At least thats my interpretation of it.

Notice the ordering of the words. It is one God with three roles. God is the father, he is 'also' the son, he is 'also' the spirit. If the order was reversed then you'd have three separate Gods: "Father the God, Son the God, Spirit the God." ***** It is a single triune God.

The Lord Jesus Christ Lord=father Jesus=Son Christ=The Holy Spirit The holy Spirit is the Spirit of God (as God Is the only Holy being). The Holy Spirit was the Spirit of Jesus in His corporal body. His Soul was in fact God. He was formed in the womb of Mary by The Word (John 1: In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God and The WORD WAS GOD). So, A Word formed body was filled with the fullness of The Godhead bodily (Spirit and Soul).So that He could perform that which could only be done by The Lord. (Jonah 2:9 ...salvation is of The Lord.)The Lord throughout Old and New Testaments refers to God and Jesus as Lord, because He is the same Being. Jehova of the Old IS Jesus of the New.

there is only ONE GOD, the TRINITY

just one... but we are all made after that model so i suggest the movie lucky you *.*

As many as people can make up. I really like the great green arkleseizure myself.

jacfar, there is only one God, I call him Allah. His book, the Holy Qu'ran is proof of his existemce. It is the only holy book that has never been changed since it was written 1600 years ago. The bible has 130 versions and some of what is written is by unknown authors. It has many inconsistencies. The Holy Qu'ran stated the universe is expanding, the whole development phase of the embryo and how the bones form first and the muscle wraps around the bone, it also explains the different currents of the oceans, along with a lot of other scientific facts that have just been discovered. Proof that only God could have written it through the prophet, Mohammed (PBUH).

It is 3 adds together equals one just like the Nescafe 3 in one which is more complete and tastes better.Then its only one God that plays 3 roles.( The Nescafe 3 in 1 is coffee, sugar and milk; anyone of it will not be complete without the other 2 ).Well, as far as I know this is how the trinity concept is made to understand in its simplest form.

According to my beliefs, ONE. God is the only one. Jesus is not god..he lived and was sacrificed and blah blah blah. The spirit is i don`t know what...i never understood that... According to my beliefs, God can also go by different names depending on the language such as Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah...etc..but not Jesus because that was a different person.

You forgot Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Xena and Zeus.

Male or female?

Only one, but in three parts. Sort of the way you have a body, a mind and a spirit.

Only one. I call him Allah.

I'll probobly be harrased but here it goes. There is only one God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one. While at the same time, they are three different entities.

Christianity has lots of gods, but won't admit it. There's the creator/father, the holy pigeon and the human god, then there's the evil god Satan, and with some there's the goddess Mary. Rarely mentioned are the multitude of other gods in the Old Testament which the father god defeats.

One. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed. How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army. There is a story told about St Augustine: Augustine was walking along the seashore trying to figure out the mystery of the Holy Trinity and came up to a little boy. The boy was trying to pour the ocean into a hole in the sand with a seashell. Augustine told the boy what he was doing was impossible. Then the little boy told Augustine that it is also impossible for the mind of man to try to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The little boy turned into an angel and disappeared. For more information, see Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 232 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt1art1p2.shtml#232 The major non-Trinitarian churches are Christadelphianism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Arian Catholicism, Unitarianism, Nontrinitarianism, and Oneness Pentecostals. With love in Christ.

Uno "ONE"

God, is one, he is not a father, son, but may be spirit.

There is ONE GOD. God the Father created the universe, God the Son came and died for us on the cross that we might have life, and God the Holy Spirit was sent ("proceeds from") the Father and conforts and guides us through our lives. It is important that we understand that they are all ONE BEING. As humans, it is impossible for us to understand God. God is above time and logic, and the concept of the Holy Trinity is one of God's mysteries. We can't expect to just understand this, as it is impossible to fully understand God- but we have to believe. So basically, ONE GOD.

One.

One = the Son was a part of HIS PERSONALITY and POWER....and the Holy Spirit is a part of HIm, HIS POWER= HE sends to HELP and Comfort...it's not complicated ...it is if u want it to be...its all in the attitude, how u look at and reason with HIM, the WORD....to believe HE is more than one..is blasphemous...HE is a Jealous God, HE has stated HE is the ONLY TRUE GOD AND OUR ONLY SAVIOR...it is detremental to our SALVATION that we KNOW and RECOGNIZE WHO HE IS AND HIS POWER...:)justme

One is correct. An poor but sometimes helpful analogy would be water, ice, and steam - they are 3 forms of the same thing.

the word for one can mean unified. From this point of view it is important the three aspects work together. If the father has the same goals and purpose as the son it can work in some way. However, it does work for the father to be angry requiring punishment and the son to forgiving all.

one , unified , as in Adam and Eve became one ...as married are to be...the Holy Spirit is not separate...it is God's Spirit of Power....its part of HIM not a separate Spirit.....the Son was God ,HIMSELF.... ask yourself , is God capable of doing this? is HE that POWERFUL AND ALMIGHTY...? mine IS.....:)justme

one. the holy spirit is god in spirit form and jesus is god in the flesh, called his son.

*** g05 4/22 pp. 5-7 Who Is “the Only True God”? *** Who Is “the Only True God”? JESUS often prayed to God, whom he called Father, and he also taught others to do so. (Matthew 6:9-11; Luke 11:1, 2) In prayer with his apostles—only hours before his death—Jesus petitioned: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you. This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:1, 3. Notice that Jesus prays to One whom he calls “the only true God.” He points to God’s superior position when he continues: “So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.” (John 17:5) Since Jesus prayed to God requesting to be alongside God, how could Jesus at the same time be “the only true God”? Let us examine this matter. Jesus’ Position in Heaven A few hours after this prayer, Jesus was executed. But he was not dead for long—only from Friday afternoon till Sunday morning. (Matthew 27:57–28:6) “This Jesus God resurrected,” the apostle Peter reports, “of which fact we are all witnesses.” (Acts 2:31, 32) Could Jesus have resurrected himself? No, according to the Bible, the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) “The only true God,” Jesus’ heavenly Father, resurrected his Son.—Acts 2:32; 10:40. A short time afterward, Jesus’ disciple Stephen was killed by religious persecutors. As they were about to stone him, Stephen was granted a vision. He stated: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand.” (Acts 7:56) Jesus, “the Son of man,” was thus seen by Stephen in a role supportive to God in heaven—“at God’s right hand”—even as he had been ‘alongside God’ before he came to earth.—John 17:5. Later, after Stephen’s execution, Jesus made a miraculous appearance to Saul, better known by his Roman name, Paul. (Acts 9:3-6) When Paul was in Athens, Greece, he spoke of “the God that made the world and all the things in it.” He said that this God, the “only true God,” will “judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead.” (Acts 17:24, 31) Here the apostle Paul described Jesus as “a man”—yes, lesser than God—whom God had restored to life in heaven. The apostle John too described Jesus as subordinate to God. John said that he had written his Gospel so that readers might come to believe that “Jesus is the Christ the Son of God”—not that he was God. (John 20:31) John also received a heavenly vision in which he saw “the Lamb,” who in his Gospel is identified as Jesus. (John 1:29) The Lamb is standing with 144,000 others, who John says “have been bought [or resurrected] from the earth.” John explains that the 144,000 have the Lamb’s “name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.”—Revelation 14:1, 3. Could “the Lamb” be the same as “his Father”? Clearly not. In the Bible they are distinct. They even have different names. Name of the Lamb and of the Father As we have just seen, the name given to God’s Son, the Lamb, is Jesus. (Luke 1:30-32) What about his Father’s name? It appears in the Bible thousands of times. For example, Psalm 83:18 says: “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” Sadly, God’s name, Jehovah, has been replaced in many Bible translations by the terms “LORD” and “GOD,” often spelled in all capital letters. The capitals are supposed to distinguish Jehovah from others called gods or lords. Yet, in many Bible translations, the Divine Name has been restored to its rightful place. The English-language American Standard Version (1901) is a notable example of a Bible translation that has restored God’s name, Jehovah, to its rightful place. Its preface observes: “The American Revisers, after a careful consideration, were brought to the unanimous conviction that a Jewish superstition, which regarded the Divine Name as too sacred to be uttered, ought no longer to dominate in the English or any other version of the Old Testament, as it fortunately does not in the numerous versions made by modern missionaries.” The Trinity—Whose Teaching? What, then, about the teaching that Jehovah and Jesus are, in effect, the same God, as the Trinity doctrine proclaims? In its issue of April-June 1999, The Living Pulpit magazine defined the Trinity this way: “There is one God and Father, one Lord Jesus Christ, and one Holy Spirit, three ‘persons’ . . . who are the same or one in essence . . . ; three persons equally God, possessing the same natural properties, yet really distinct, known by their personal characteristics.” Where did this complex Trinity teaching originate? The Christian Century, in its May 20-27, 1998, issue, quotes a pastor who acknowledges that the Trinity is “a teaching of the church rather than a teaching of Jesus.” Even though the Trinity is not a teaching of Jesus, is it consistent with what he taught? The Father—Superior to the Son Jesus taught his disciples to pray: “Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” Our heavenly Father, whose name is Jehovah, is described in the Bible as being superior to his Son. For example, Jehovah is “from everlasting to everlasting.” But the Bible says that Jesus is “the firstborn of every creature.” That Jehovah is greater than Jesus, Jesus himself taught when he said: “My Father is greater than I.” (Matthew 6:9; Psalm 90:1, 2; Colossians 1:15; John 14:28, King James Version) Yet, the Trinity doctrine holds that the Father and the Son are “equally God.” The Father’s superiority over the Son, as well as the fact that the Father is a separate person, is highlighted also in the prayers of Jesus, such as the one before his execution: “Father, if you wish, remove this cup [that is, an ignominious death] from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If God and Jesus are “one in essence,” as the Trinity doctrine says, how could Jesus’ will, or wish, seem different from that of his Father?—Hebrews 5:7, 8; 9:24. Furthermore, if Jehovah and Jesus were the same, how could one of them be aware of things of which the other was not? Jesus, for instance, said regarding the time of the world’s judgment: “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.”—Mark 13:32. The Trinity and the Church The Trinity is not a teaching of Jesus or of the early Christians. As noted previously, it is “a teaching of the church.” In its 1999 issue on the Trinity, The Living Pulpit observed: “Sometimes, it seems that everyone assumes that the doctrine of the trinity is standard Christian theological fare,” but it added that it is not “a biblical idea.” The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967) discusses the Trinity at length and admits: “The Trinitarian dogma is in the last analysis a late 4th-century invention. . . . The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century.” Martin Werner, as professor at the University of Bern, Switzerland, observed: “Wherever in the New Testament the relationship of Jesus to God, the Father, is brought into consideration, whether with reference to his appearance as a man or to his Messianic status, it is conceived of and represented categorically as subordination.” Clearly, what Jesus and the early Christians believed is far different from the Trinity teaching of churches today. From where, then, did this teaching come? The Trinity’s Early Origins The Bible tells of many gods and goddesses that people worshiped, including Ashtoreth, Milcom, Chemosh, and Molech. (1 Kings 11:1, 2, 5, 7) Even many people in the ancient nation of Israel once believed that Baal was the true God. So Jehovah’s prophet Elijah presented the challenge: “If Jehovah is the true God, go following him; but if Baal is, go following him.”—1 Kings 18:21. The worship of pagan gods grouped in threes, or triads, was also common before Jesus was born. “From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity,” observed historian Will Durant. In the Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics, James Hastings wrote: “In Indian religion, e.g., we meet with the trinitarian group of Brahmā, Siva, and Viṣṇu; and in Egyptian religion with the trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus.” So there are many gods. Did early Christians acknowledge this? And did they view Jesus as Almighty God? [Footnotes] See, for example, Psalm 110:1 in the King James Version. Both Jesus and Peter quoted this verse.—Matthew 22:42-45; Acts 2:34-36. See the article “Should We Use God’s Name?” on page 31 of this magazine. The Athanasian Creed, formulated a few hundred years after the death of Jesus, defined the Trinity this way: “The Father is God: the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.” [Picture on page 7] EGYPT Triad of Horus, Osiris, and Isis, second millennium B.C.E.

One God!

There is no god.

one.....it really is very simple..dont understand the problem....I am catherine the wife...catherine the mother, catherine the daughter, catherine the student, catherine the employee, catherine the friend...HOW MANY CATHERINES ARE THERE..only one.. I have many labels and names..many different functions and roles.....i do different things for different people at different times...i manifest myself in ways that people need me to at any given time......SO DOES GOD

There are millions of Gods celebrated by different religious philosophies.

None.

There are millions of Gods. The question is...How many of them do YOU believe in?

there is ONE ALMIGHTY....HE is the all three....HE is our Father, HE is the Holy Spirit(HIS POWER) and HE was the Son(Redeemer, Savior)... the world is and always has been, full of man made gods and idols..:)

Good point, 1st commandment "Tho shalt have no other gods before me" Well God dude... you just called your self three gods, So either your 3 God very contradictive or which one of your multiple personalities are we hailing today :P

It is God, Jesus the son of God, and the Holy Spirit, I count one God!

There is one God, but three parts. In all honesty, it's a concept no one in the world can wrap their head around, but we need to have the faith to believe it.

I just counted three. Did I win? ;-)

none.

As far as I'm aware, in modern times, there has only been one person to see these various Gods. His name was Joseph Smith. God called him as His first prophet of the Last Days. He saw BOTH - the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ. They were real and they were literal. Each had a glorious Immortal body "whose Brightness and glory defied all description", he said. The Holy Ghost is the 3rd Member of that Godhood of 3 distinct individuals. Although they all individual, they act and represent truth and nature as One. In that sense, they are of one mind. You could call them the One God: Yes.

Gods like a swiss army knife, the three are probs used for differant applications. God the father overseas everything, God the Son was sent to save mankind, and God the Spirit is what saves people. He is one, but he subdivides himself into three :)

One in three persons

Too many to count.

They're all one

1) There is just one "GODS" and there are three "GOD" in your question. 2) The existence of a God is not proven. Different people have different ideas about God or gods. Some think that there is no god at all. You seem to be talking about the Christian concept of God, so I shall discuss this in the following. 3) "The Christian doctrine of the Trinity teaches the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine states that God is the Triune God, existing as three persons, or in the Greek hypostases, but one being. Each of the persons is understood as having the one identical essence or nature, not merely similar natures. Since the beginning of the third century the doctrine of the Trinity has been stated as "the one God exists in three Persons and one substance, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Trinitarianism, belief in the Trinity, is a mark of Oriental and Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and all the mainstream traditions arising from the Protestant Reformation, such as Anglicanism, Lutheranism and Presbyterianism. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church describes the Trinity as "the central dogma of Christian theology". This doctrine is in contrast to Nontrinitarian positions which include Binitarianism (one deity/two persons), Unitarianism (one deity/one person), the Oneness belief held by certain Pentecostal groups, Modalism, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' view of the Godhead as three separate beings who are one in purpose rather than essence." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity

probably none, except in your mind...

There is one God and one God only. The phrase God the Father. God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is no where found in Scripture. It just isn't there. It is a syllogism based upon what some denominations believe to be true...that God is one in three and three in one. And no, I am not going to get into a trinity argument because it's a fruitless discussion that leads no where.

There is only one god to your world, you. You make the decisions, despite the circumstance being thrust upon you it is up to you to govern what occurs within those circumstance. I think the fitting quote is "I am the master of my faith, I am the captain of my soul" I can't remember who wrote it though :) Peace,Love and Clarity

None in Christianity because its rubbish.

42.

To some confusion; to others unity!

Three in ONE perfect Being. Man is made in God's image, and "It is never good for man to be alone," therefore the concept of community is important. This Three in One Being is part of the communal aspect of God.

One plus infinity.

I believe that the New Testament teaches a concept of God as a family and not a trinity. In this God family, we have a Father and a Son, with a wife to be and many children. I understand that some of this may be symbolic, nether the less it is scriptural. In a family, we are the same as and equal to each other, yet there are different positions or roles in the family. My father had a son. I am human the same as my father is human. God the father had a son. What do you suppose His son is? God is a spirit according to John 4:24, so I would imagine that the resurrected Christ is of the same spirit as God the Father. Paul's analogy of the body of Christ, where you have the head, the feet, the ear and all parts of the body being important would also apply to the family. The Bible says there are ministers and teachers put in place to bring us all up to the "unity" (oneness) of the faith. Christ said that He wanted the disciples be "one" the same as He and His father are "one." Christ said when we marry "the two become 'one' flesh." The Bible does show that Christ was with God in God form from the beginning. John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 1Co 10:4 refers to Christ as being the Spiritual Rock that followed the Israelites in the wilderness. John 20:28 Thomas said, "My Lord My God" in referring to Christ. The trinity is not mentioned in the Bible. The Holy Spirit as a third entity in the God head is not taught in the Bible. Christ never prayed to the Holy Spirit and didn't include it in the "oneness." Paul never recognized it in His greetings and salutations as he did the Father and the Son. The Bible never says "God the Holy Spirit. God is the called the Father, yet Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, so why isn't the Holy Spirit called the Father? God is a spirit and God is Holy, so I can see the confusion. Why did people have to invent a third person? The concept definitely has pagan roots. Paganism was constantly mixed in with Christian concepts since the beginning of the Church. People do not like to give up their traditions, so they just change the names a little and call them Christian. There are indications of God being more than one, even in the Old Testament. Elohiym is the plural form of the word El. God (Elohiym) said "let us make man in our image." "Us" and "our" are plural. It doesn't say "God said to the angels." The problem comes from the understanding the concept of "one," especially in a spiritual sense. There are many members but one body. One family, many members, One Spirit, but more than one being, or many beings consisting of one spirit. Christ is the first born of many brethren. This indicates that there will be many members in the Family of God. Using the "family" analogy, where does the "Holy Spirit" fit in? So is the trinity scriptural? I do not believe it is. Is Christ the Son a god the same as God the Father is? I think so. I don't think status or position nullifies the oneness. When Christ was here on Earth, he was a man, a man is lower than the angels who are much lower than God. But now He has been raised up and sits at the right hand of the Father.

There is one God that is beyond any worldly description - our meager words and concepts can be used to generalize God but they will always fail as they are bound by a system that is earthly one can come closer to an understanding upon renunciation of all that is worldly, as various prophets and spiritual leaders have done - but will still fall short it's like trying to describe an elephant using only numbers Father Son and Spirit describe a triumvirate of traits akin to Id Ego Superego when dealing with psychiatry - they're all the same brain, but they deal with different aspects of personality and consciousness: pragmatic decision process, ideology, dreams, etc.. Human words are meager and fail in our attempt to describe the infinite, God doesn't fail for our inabilities - it is that which binds us to the worldly which brings us failure

Man cannot create a flower but creates gods by the hundreds--don't figure!

Konan the Conqueror Konan the Barbarian Konan the Lord of Krom How many Konans are there?

Wow. Which is correct, baptism in Jesus' Name or the Father, Son, and Spirit? If they're all one, it really shouldn't matter, should it? Why did God create us without the ability to understand His Nature? I don't know. Perhaps His Nature is simply incomprehensible, no matter who looks. Part of His Infinite Nature. As to the problem of 'God' the Father, 'God' the Son, and 'God' the Holy Spirit, I think I'll stick with my Conan the Barbarian theory: If there is a Conan The Barbarian, and a Conan The Conquerer, and a Conan who battles against Krom, how many Conans are there? Just the one.

In what religion.

One God, many forms and interpretations :-)

The Father on the throne is indescribable and full of glory.. There are the 7 Spirits of God that burn like blazing torches in front of the throne. By His Spirit He replicated Himself as the only begotten Son to infiltrate the darkness and save our souls. See Revelation chap 1 describes Jesus right now. Revelation chaps 4 and 5 the Father and the 7 Spirits and Jesus. So, 1 Father + 1 Son + 7 Spirits = let me get my calculator = 9 and they are all Him. Understand Power and Glory.. flesh and blood does not enter His kingdom. This isnt a zombie vampire fest. See who else is present there, other glorified beings, angels and The 24 Elders innummerable. Representing ALL from the 12 Tribes of Israel and ALL from the 12 Apostles. Also known as The City of God, New Jerusalem. Altogether this is the Kingdom of God.

1) "In Hinduism there are said to be 330,000,000 gods. Perhaps a really staunch atheist, who believes with 100 per cent conviction that there is no god, could count as a negative god (as opposed to the more common sceptical agnostics). How many such atheists are there? Well, if there were 330,000,000 of them, this would give us your "most likely" average of zero." Source and further information: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19125641.200-how-many-gods-are-there.html The article and its feedback contains an interesting discussion about how to count trinities, demi-gods, and the like. Here another excerpt: ""The deities would thus be rational - a considerable relief as there are obvious dangers associated with an irrational god." He goes on to reach a startling conclusion: "Since no gods can be irrational, none of them can be transcendental."" 2) "The Christian doctrine of the Trinity teaches the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead.

There's just one. But omnipresence can make it tough to keep track of the guy.

At least zero! Depends on who you ask.

"god" is a word denoting a spiritual being...and not necessarily the supreme being. There is ALMIGHTY GOD the singular supreme being, the one who creted everything and Jesus' father. Only he is called ALLMIGHTY. Jesus is a 'god', even being called 'mighty god' but NEVER ...ALLMIGHTY GOD. Even Satan is called 'a' god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. So being termed a 'god' does not denote the supreme God.

Since the question refers seemingly to the God of the Christian and Judaic faiths (not sure about Islam here), I'll address it from that point of view. There are several different 'doctrines' across varying religious groups regarding the nature of God. The most common mainstream doctrine is that of the Trinity, or the 'Godhead'. This is interpreted as one (and only one) individual God who has three distinct aspects or 'personages' of himself. There is also the doctrine that Jesus - the Son of God - is a separate and subservient deity to God the Father. There are doctrines in other 'christian' and pseudo-christian religions that there are other gods besides this one. For example, if I am correct, Mormon doctrine has been cited as saying that humans can become gods, or at least 'god-like'. Again, not intimately familiar with that particular doctrine. The answer you receive from us mere mortals will vary depending on our doctrine and beliefs, and at this point, only God Himself could give you an absolute, irrefutable answer. That's the short answer. *** I personally do believe in God, and I choose to believe in a Triune God (one God, three aspects), for varying reasons. If you look at the bible, especially John chapter 1 and other similar scriptures, you find something interesting. I don't believe John 1:1 - 14 refers to Jesus at all. It is talking about someone (or thing) called "The Word of God" (Greek word 'logos'). It does not mention Jesus at all. This has some implications to theologies that use this verse as a point of argument. What we find if we read this literally is that: "In the beginning was *the Word (of God)*, and *the Word (of God)* was with God, and *the Word (of God) was (a) God." Note: logos - Word of God. Not Jesus. So arguing the point that Jesus is God or *a* God based on this passage is erroneous. What does this mean? To me it means we need to investigate the nature of the Word of God, to put this passage in its context. Who is this 'Word of God', or 'logos'? Well - There are many passages that refer to the Word of God, but not many that give a tangible description. However I personally believe we've been given a good clue in ourselves. If, as the bible says, we are made in the exact image of God, then we can look to ourselves to find similarities between us and God. --- Where does the 'Word' come from? Well according to Jesus, "out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks". I take this to mean that the source of our own 'word' is inside our heart. Is it logical to then assume that the source of God's Word is in his heart? --- Can the 'Word' exist independent of God? Well, can my 'word' exist without me? Nope. If Neil Armstrong had never been born, we would not have his immortalised words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". Another astronaut may have said the words, but they would not be Armstrong's words. If I cease to exist, then my 'living' word (that is alive within me) also ceases to exist. --- Can the 'Word' act independent of God? Can my 'word' act independent of me? Nope. My words can only ever do what I tell them to do. Then can never ever 'knowingly' contradict my meaning. My word can only do what I will it to do. Because it is a part of me, my 'word' cannot do anything apart from me... It cannot even exist apart from me. Can we logically then extend these attributes to God and His Word? I believe so. His own Word could not exist apart from him, nor could the Word do anything apart from the Father (bible scholars - sound familiar?). --- Was 'the Word' created? Well I developed my 'word' as I grew from infancy, and there's really no way I can measure whether my 'word' has existed for as long as I have, however... If we look to God, the bible says that He created everything in existence. How did he do so? Well, the bible says that, apart from man, it was through His Word. He 'spoke' His Word and the universe came into being - so the bible says. Let me ask this: if God's primary method of creation was through His Word, could His Word be created? If God did not always have His Word, that would mean at some stage in the distant past He was mute. If that's the case, and he creates by His Word, how did He create His Word? Sign language? Logically, looking at His nature according to the bible, His Word has to be a part of Him, and a part of Him for as long as He has existed. --- I say these things to try to show why I believe the Word of God in John 1:1 *is* God. Why? Further down in John 1 it says this: "And the Word became flesh, and we beheld his glory; glory as the Father's only begotten Son..." Okay, this is a shift of direction. The Word now becomes flesh (i.e. a physical, mortal being - most likely human), and is identified here as 'the Father's only begotten Son'. Jesus is called the 'only begotten Son of God' many times in scripture (or at least 'the Son of God'). Is this a contradiction? Are there two Sons of God? Or is Jesus in fact the Word of God manifested in the flesh? I'm going to say something here that may upset mainstream Christians, but bear with me. I don't believe that the physical human Jesus of Nazareth always existed. He had a beginning - at the point of conception in the womb of the maiden Mary, some 2000 or so years ago. If the physical human being Jesus always existed (or as some say, was created at some point before the immaculate conception), why did he need to be conceived in a new human body? Where is his old body? Why did he not just come down in his original body? Which body does he inhabit now? I don't believe there was an old body. Jesus of Nazareth did not exist as a physical human being prior to the conception. So who was he before-hand? Simple. He was the Word of God - and still is, just now with a (glorified) human body. To quote 1st John 5:7 (KJV) - "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." How is this different to "Father, Son, Holy Ghost"? The two terms are the same if you believe that the Son is the Word made flesh: "Father, Word (made flesh in the Son), Holy Ghost". --- Hopefully this has not been too long or confusing, but I don't believe that Jesus can be a separate being to God, or a lesser deity - not by my interpretation of the scriptures. Just my belief, nothing more.

In the Encylclopedia of Religion and Ethics: "In the New Testament we do not find the doctrine of the Trinity in anything like it's developed form, not even in Pauline or Johnnine theology". Encyclopedia International: "The doctrine of the Trinity did not form part of the Apostle's preaching, as this is reported in the N.T." The New Bible Dictionary: "The word trinity is not found in the bible, and, though used by Tertullian in the late 2nd century, it did not take place theologically until the 4th century". Dictionary of the Bible: "The Trinity of God as defined by the church (Catholic) is belief in God are three persons in one nature. This belief as so defined was only reached by the 4th and 5th centuries and not explicitly and formally a bible belief". The New Encylclopedia Brittanica: "Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament. Nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema of Deut6:4 "Hear O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord"... The doctrine was gradually developed over several centuries. It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single Orthodox doctrine of one essence in three persons...By the end of the 4th century..Took the form substance of which we have today". So easily we can see either by A.Hislop's book the Two Babylon's or historical accounts that there was a compromise in many churches to accept the trinity as teaching.It took a while over four hundred years to bring in this Greek doctrine, brought in by Tertullian, from Plato's work of Timaeus, though he twisted it to his means. He even believed in only a two god system simular to what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe today. The babylonian's created a triad, though once only worshipping one God only. This in turn was adopted by Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans in some form or another. Also Hindu's have it as well-The Creator, Destroyer, and Sustainer. Many of the ceremones involved in this system are seen in many cultures in one form or another. Only Jewish people and minority of Christians believe in a single God with many attributes but yet is one only.Sure Muslim's believe in one but it is a Moon God variation.So technically they are more right in the oneness of God belief than trinitarians who have adopted many Pagan ideas to bring them in the fold, at great compromise to the word of God.The word will judge us in the last day.God will not care who was your Pastor or association but rather did you obey his word to the max or not, See Matt 7:1-27, Revelations 22:17-18, and Zach 14:9, among many others. Have a great day!

I heard a very good analogy for this recently. The Christian God is similar to water; it can be a liquid, solid ice, or vapor, but it's still water. So, that's how God is, I suppose. Of course, that doesn't mean much since there is so God to be in any of his three forms, but that was a good way to explain it.

Ice, water, Steam...3 parts 1 liquid Mind, body, soul - 3 parts...1 person. God, son, spirit - 3 parts 1 being. God as our father...(creator, almighty, love) God as the son (our teacher on earth) - and how to live God as the spirit - guidance in our hearts (right/wrong)

One. Allah.

There are as many gods as man chooses to make up.

I answered this question, but I then thought about it and decided to delete it and to refrain from arguing about a doctrine that has probably caused more grief than any other.

One day, god is so boring and he come up with an idea to create something called human to entertain him, but he is dissatisfied with their performance so he wipe them out and start from scratch again. This time he is director of the opera - Jesus Christ Superstar. Poor Judas is the chosen person who will make the betrayal. It is part of the plot so his son can die for the sins of human and become the holy spirit XD

1,2,3,4,5..................there's so many of them :P

it used to just be God the Father & God the Son, but then He thought that maybe more people would believe in Him if He were scarier, so He made the Holy Ghost

One god in three persons. In the beginning was the Word. The Word was god. The Word was with God.

apparently not enough to make the world a better place. People and there thousand-upon-thousands of religions kill me! and the thing is any given person always KNOWS that there religion is THE one! (sigh)

God is one and formless. You can visualize (that is the best part) God in whichever way you want. If you do nto want to follow any particular religion, it's fine too. God still is there as formless omnipotent, omnipresent. God should be personal. Many organized religions will do the visualizations for you and probably make you think alike, so that they can organize it properly and make a business out of it.

42. Or (4+2)/2=3. Or 3/3=1. Or Easy-E>MC Hammer.

Only one, the grand Creator. “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ". John 17:3 http://www.watchtower.org/e/200602b/article_01.htm

Any one who even knowns nothing about Math would say THREE gods, no matter how the trinitarians would try to deny this simple fact 1+1+1 = 3. I can help them if they don't mind: They may try this 1+1+1 = 1.zip :) There is no word "Trinity" in the Bible in any version of any language. The Trinity pagan dogma was introduced to the Christian faith around 320 A.D. (about 300 years after Jesus!). ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)" Jesus in this verse is clearly giving exclusivity to GOD Almighty when he said "alone". If Jesus was truly part of GOD Almighty and/or the trinity lie was true, then Jesus, to say the least, would not have said that. Moreover, if belief in the Trinity was such a necessary condition for being a Christian, why didn’t Jesus teach and emphasize it to the Christians during his time? How were those followers of Jesus considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity? Had the Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus would have emphasized it on many occasions and would have taught and explained it in detail to the people. Remember that Jesus (PBUH) had spoken openly to the world and spoke nothing in secret as he said in the bible: “Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.”[John 18:20] ======================================= The Origins of the 'Trinity' Pagan Doctrine: The New Encyclopedia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropedia, Vol. X, p. 126. According to the Catholics themselves.... The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299. John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.” —(New York, 1965), p. 899.

Several hundred thousand, actually.

ONE God made of three components.

Again, there is but one. Here is a video to help you decide what is right. Nobody has to believe something just because it was enforced politically upon a population. Here in the U.S. we still have the right to worship a whatever way a person likes. So, you alone must decide for yourself after looking through the facts what is true. Have a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ.

As many gods as man kind can imagine.

If you were a religious person, you would not be asking this question.

Tertullian was the first to speak of the Godhead as a trinity 197AD (trinitas), and did not hesitate to describe both Son and Spirit as persons (prosopon). He used Pagan Plato's work of Timaeus but twisting it, as any good former lawyer would do, to explain his perception of God. Constitiuion framer and one time U.S. President Thomas Jefferson denounced the trinity in a letter to John Adams in 1813, here are his words. "It is too late in the day for men of sincerity to pretend they believe in the Platonic mysticisms that three are one, and one is three; and yet that the one is not three, and the three are not one . . . But this constitutes the craft, the power and the profit of the priests. Sweep away their gossamer fabrics of factitious religion, and they would catch no more flies. We should all then, like the Quakers, live without an order of priests, moralize for ourselves, follow the oracle of conscience, and say nothing about what no man can understand, nor therefore believe".

Its called The Holy Trinity and they are only one.

apparently not enough to fix the ways of the world

1 creator god... 1 egg = 1 yolk- 1 white- 1 shell. 3 parts of the same egg.

According to my faith, frickin millions :P

Since the existence of god is unprovable we'll never know, but there are many man made gods.

none
