So how do you know who to worship? Like for example, if someone wanted to worship the Holy Spirit, Jesus, or God the Father, would worshipping certain ones be wrong? Cause they all are essentially God correct?
That’s right you worship the one God, it includes all His persons. As Jesus told us “no one comes to the Father except through me.”

So if I told you “I worship Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ” that’s ok to do cause he’s still God?
Right worship requires knowing what you are worshipping so no.
Ok, so how is worshiping Jesus Christ wrong? Doesn’t he say that He’s God?
It isn’t “wrong” to worship Jesus knowing He is God at all.
Ok cool…I think you’re the first Catholic I’ve run into that has a problem with worshipping “just Jesus” and that’s it. So I guess the next question I have is, where is it in The Bible (or maybe even in a book) that says that there’s nothing wrong with worshiping Jesus and only Jesus? Cause this is news to me.
Wow! I would hope all mainline Protestants, Catholic and Orthodox Christians “have a problem” with denial of the triune nature of God. It is a foundation of our faith. As an example, this is why Jesus commanded the Apostles in Matthew 28:19 to use the names of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in baptizing all nations. Groups that baptize in Jesus’ name only (such as Oneness Pentecostals) often hold a modalist view of God, meaning they reject the distinct co-existence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Hmmmm…good to know. I guess maybe in this instance I’m asking about Roman Catholicism in particular cause that’s the religion I was raised with. But, again, good to know that there’s at least one branch of Catholicism that is ok with just worshipping Jesus. Interesting…I learn something from this forum all the time.
