Jesus prayed to himself

So Jesus went and prayed to himself.

Remind me again - how is Christianity NOT a polytheistic religion?


@MVP

Jesus prayed to the Father.

To remind you again: Jesus and the Father are one:

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Deuteronomy 6:4

cf. Mark 12:28-34

There is one God, and God is revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Spirit.

One God, three persons.

The three persons of the Godhead are manifested in relationship to one another. For example, the Father sends the Son, the Son prays to the Father, the Father and Son send the Spirit.

This idea of "one God, three persons" is an idea that we may not be able to fully comprehend, but it is an idea that we can apprehend.
