If Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are co-equal?
Couldn't Christians just worship the Holy Spirit and it would have the same effect?
So... some are created more co-equal than others?
Please, if you are going to tell me that Jesus said to worship him, give me the verse along with one verse +/- of context as proof of this.

If they are co-equal, it shouldn't make a difference. But it makes a difference because they are not co-equal.

Yes, but this is true for both the Father & the Son also. It is not possible to worship any one Person without worshiping the other two automatically. Jesus is God only as a Son who has the same uncreated Divine Nature of His Father with the Holy Spirit proceeding from this intimate relationship.

The Bible does not support the Trinity....
Jesus said at John 14: 28 "the Father is greater than I am". In regards to the true nature of holy spirit- a footnote at Genesis 1:2 in the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References states: “Besides being translated ‘spirit,’ ru′ach [Hebrew] is also translated ‘wind’ and by other words that denote an invisible active force.” Just as wind is invisible but exerts force, so the immaterial, impersonal holy spirit is unseen but produces effects. This spirit is energy from God projected and exerted on people or things to accomplish his will.

Adam commits the sin and God's only son, Jesus comes to die to pay for the sin? AND.......no one will enter Heaven if they do not accept this????????
The most nonsensical idea you can get now becomes more nonsensical. The Christian catechism goes as follows: The Father is God, The son is God and the holy spirit is God, but not three god but one God. The Father is a person (meaning personality), the son is a person and the holy spirit is a person, but its not three persons but one person.
What cr@p is this? They have clarified in the Bible that the father is like an old father Christmas with a grey beard and the son like that movie "King of Kings" with blond hair and blue eyes; and the holy spirit like a dove. If any one Christian brother and sister say to me that they see the three as one, they lying to me.
Brothers and sisters, you lying to me!
The stuff they taught me at Catholic School.

Jesus told us to come in His authority before the Father. We are not to tag, "in Jesus name" to our prayers. As joint heirs with Jesus we have been given the authority to ask for the Word of God to be fulfilled in our lives. Faith is knowing what God's Word is and speaking it into existance. We are to worship all three but it is the Holy Spirit that teaches us how to pray to the Father. They are equal and all three are God but they are not the same. 1+3+2=6 but so is 2+2+2 and 5+1.

First off your question is invalid because there is no such thing as three persons of the godhead the trinity satan calls it. Now that said understand also that THE BIBLE is an code book into which is hidden the word of GOD. Often times THE WORD OF GOD shows up in what wasn't said.You have to chose whom you will worship. Did Thomas not call JESUS my LORD my GOD. Notice JESUS did not rebuke him for saying that.So there you have it JESUS said HE was GOD.Therefore there is no co-equal as there is only one.Does THE BIBLE not say THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
JESUS BLESS YOU

1 John 14:15-17 says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."
