1. But they are confuse, sometimes they say that Jesus is god... but people say he is the son of god, from that one can conclude that he is his own son.

Looking at you.
In Christianity, there is 3 Gods, they do different jobs. God the son, stands between God the father and humanity, God the holy spirit works through humans to do the will of God the father, and God the father is the judge of the world.
It's looked like the aspects of an egg....an egg has 3 parts, but it's only 1 egg....
The idea of a trinity goes way back. It's roots are older than Christianity..I think the idea of the trinity was added sometime later by, you guessed it.....The Roman Catholic Church.....
Well it's more 3 parts of the one...It's based on paganism...It's been around for centuries and was blended into the Christian faith, but like many other faiths. Though many other faiths keep them separate...

Re: How many gods do Christians believe in?
There is only one God. He came to earth as Jesus. Jesus walked the earth for somthing like 35 years, was hung on the cross and died. He came back after 3 days and walked it for fourty days, then he ascended back into heaven.
Now comes the confusing part, just remember God is not restricted by what humans call impossible. Eventhough Jesus is God, God never left heaven. But I just said that he came to earth as Jesus, but I also said that he is NOT restricted by what humans call "Impossible". God can be in 2 places at once, be 2 people at once, and the holy gost is Gods 3rd person. The Holy trinity is One God, 3 persons.
All Pagan religions from the time of Babylon, have adopted in one form or another a trinity doctrine or a triad or trinity of gods. In Babylon it was Nimrod, Semiramas, and Tammuz; In Egypt it was Osiris, Isis, and Horus; within Israel pagan gnosticism it was Kether, Hokhmah, and Binah; In Plato's philosophy it was the Unknown Father, Nous/Logos, and the world soul. But in Old Testament Judaism there was only One God, a numerical ONE. The difference between paganism and God's people has always been the Oneness Monarchian Message reinforced by the First Commandment that prohibits any theory of a plurality.
In our study, we will use a few verses to give a flavor of the One God message, and then give a lot of quotes concerning the trinity message. The true Apostolic Church rejects all the decrees and creeds of the Councils. For this reason we reject the trinity doctrine because it is not in the Bible but in the Creeds of the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Our Creed of One God is plainly in the Bible, the Oneness Message.
What God Says About His Oneness
EXO 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
ISA 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
ISA 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
ISA 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
ISA 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
REV 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
