Actually, Hindus have three gods, who have multiple aspects/incarnations. If you want to call each incarnation a separate god, you'll have to apply that to the Christian trinity (YHWH, the Christ, the Holy Spirit) as well, and that blows the whole "monotheism" thing right out of the water.

I, as a Christian, recognize only one God. Jesus is the son...not equal to God. The Holy Spirit is God's active force. The scriptures need to be truly examined.
Not recognizing Jesus as God does not disrespect Jesus' position. It respects God, the Creator, as having no one as His equal.

You must be a Jehovah's Witness, or perhaps a Morman? The majority of Christians do believe in the trinity - 3 "persons" in 1 God, and so of course we say Jesus IS God.

Though I'm sure God appreciates your respect, even it it turns out to be unnecessary

It was me!! I'm someone who has read the Bible and feel that there is overwhelming evidence that they are seperate and not part of what some refer to as a Godhead...it just isn't supported in the scriptures. Of course...MY opinion.
I have had people explain it with the water/ice/vapor comparison...the family comparison...and then eventually say, "It is a great mystery". I completely understand how the trinity works, what it means...I just don't believe it. Water is water, ice is ice, vapor is vapor...a family is made up of individuals of varying degrees of authority with a united purpose.
Jesus used many illustrations to help humans understand principles. Knowing well human thinking, why would he use the relationship of father/son referring to his relationship to God? The father/son relationship has a clear undeniable connection, but also a clear indication that God is in a superior position. A better relationship that would indicate that they were on equal ground would be that of brothers or something of that nature.
