God SET His HUMAN Son on His Throne AFTER the Cross!
Let me just say right off that I do, indeed, believe that Jesus is CALLED God by TITLE after the cross and resurrection.
And I also believe that Jesus BECAME Deity after the cross and resurrection by being HIGHLY EXALTED by his God and Father as the joy set before Jesus to endure the cross, according to Hebrew 12:2.
So then, I do, indeed, teach that Jesus is Deity! However, I do NOT believe in the DEITY of Jesus in the same way that the ORTHODOX main-stream church denominations teach like the Oneness Pentecostal Christians and the Trinitarain Christians teach.
I will explain why I believe that the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the human Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME “a” Deity to JOIN his God and Father on his Father’s throne throughout this study in God’s word.
And after reading this study, then you will see WHY I can no longer believe in the doctrine of the Trinity and why I will NEVER believe the Oneness Pentecostal teaching that Jesus is the Father.
And I might add that we ALL believe what we believe because we were TAUGHT to believe what we believe.
In other words, I doubt very seriously that any unsaved person picked up a Bible having never been told about God or His Son Jesus and they became a true-born again Christian by UNDERSTANDING God as three separated persons in one God.
And then, after becoming a Christian, the Holy Spirit dwelling in them would lead and guide them into the understanding that Jesus is the second person of a Trinity Godhead.
In other words, I do NOT believe that ANY Christian who has NEVER heard of the Trinity doctrine, can read the Bible ONLY and interpret the Scriptures all on their own without being influenced by other Christians to come up with either of the following three man-made church doctrines.
For you see, nowhere in the Bible ITSELF is the doctrine of the Trinity stated as fact with no interpretation needed.
And neither is the doctrine of Oneness, also called Modalism, which teaches that Jesus is one and the self-same being as the Father stated as fact in the Bible ITSELF.
And, as a matter of fact, the TWO natures at the SAME time doctrine of the Deity of Jesus during the days of his FLESH is NOT found anywhere in the Bible ITSELF.
For you see, one has to READ INTO the Scriptures all three of those man-made doctrines.
So then, here is what I have COME to believe over many years by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Let me just briefly state what I have come to believe, then I will state how I came to believe this truth in God’s word.
And then, I will give all the verses of Scripture to prove my belief as being a sound Biblical teaching with no contradictions to any other part of God’s word.
The Deity of Jesus According to the Bible ITSELF!
WHY the doctrine of the Trinity CONTRACTS the Scriptures!
SECTION ONE
I believe that Jesus pre-existed ONLY as an IMAGE that God Himself formed within Himself to bring forth into a literal existence in the future.
In other words, I do not believe that the WHOLE word of God teaches us that Jesus literally pre-existed AS an already SEPARATE divine eternal being who was WITH the God AT the God’s SIDE in the eternity past.
But rather, I believe that God’s Son came into existence as the FULFILLMENT of God’s spoken word of PROPHECY where the ONE God in ONE person performed His own spoken word of prophecy.
So then, to me, as in, what the Holy Spirit taught to me, is as follows.
In the beginning or more correctly at ANOTHER beginning when God RESTORED the earth in order to create MAN to STILL His ENEMIES is one of the KEYS to understanding the Bible in SIMPLICITY.
For you see, the first creation in the eternity past, before anything was created, there was only ONE true God in ONE being and in ONE person all by Himself being ALONE.
And then, the ONE God in ONE person, alone and by himself, created the entire universe, which I believe has existed for billions of years
Now, I view God as creating everything PERFECT when God first created the universe billions of years ago. And my view is that it remained perfect for billions of years.
But then, around 15,000 or so years ago, one of the angels rebelled against God’s throne of authority wanting to do things his OWN way. Over time, that angel who was once a good Elohim drew one third of the angels to rebel with him.
And those fallen angels or fallen Elohim waged a literal WAR against the other side of heaven, according to Deuteronomy 4:32 and Psalm 8:1-6.
And that is WHEN Almighty God, the highest Elohim devised a PLAN to END that inter-galactic WAR in heaven or in outer space in the universe.
And thus, the so-called “In the beginning” in John 1:1, Proverbs 8:22-31, and Genesis 1:1-31 is ANOTHER beginning that took place some 6,000 years ago.
And that is WHEN the WORD was in the beginning in John 1:1. That is when PROPHECY began where God tells us what has happened in the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth, what has happened in the history of this PRESENT world or present AGE, and what will happen in the AGES to come.
Now, much of which God prophesied concerning His Messiah has already been FULFILLED. But there is still yet more prophecy that will be fulfilled in the world to come.
With that being said, God HID two letters in the Scriptures that seem to point to prophecies about the Messiah.
Those two letters are the Aleph and the Tav which are the FIRST and the LAST Hebrew letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
In other words, the Aleph and the Tav mean the whole Hebrew Alphabet from the first to the last letters with which God formed words that described the image in His mind and thoughts that God desired to bring forth out from within Himself to create into existence.
Again, I believe that the ONE God in ONE being in ONE person created everything that exists.
And here is just one verse as to why I have come to believe this to be the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God who ALONE is the Father.
I will highlight all the words and pronouns that refer to Yahweh who alone and by Himself is the creator in orange. And I will highlight all the words and pronouns that are hidden PROPHECY of God’s yet future Son in yellow. The other colors are for emphasis.

Please read Isaiah 44:24.
“Thus says the LORD, (Or thus says Yahweh) your redeemer, and He that formed YOU from the womb, I am the LORD (Or I am Yahweh) that MAKES ALL THINGS; that stretches forth the heavens ALONE; that spreads abroad the earth BY MYSELF;”
Not only do I believe that Yahweh the Father alone and by Himself create everything that exists, I also believe that Yahweh FORMED His Son, Jesus, in the WOMB of the Virgin Mary just like ALL the Scriptures PROPHESY.
For you see, the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7 speaks of a CHILD being born of a virgin first and then a Son is GIVEN.
And then, WHEN the government is laid upon his shoulder, the one prophesied to come into existence will be CALLED by the NAME the Mighty God.
Plain and simple, the LOGOS, the word, or the SAYING in John 1:1,14 is the God’s spoken word of PROPHECY that came out from the mouth of God that was made FLESH.
Let us go ahead and read Isaiah 9:6,7. And as you read this PROPHECY of God’s yet coming Son into existence, I want you to notice the ORDER in which the events are PROPHESIED to come to pass.
Please read Isaiah 9:6,7.
“For (Order of event #1 that has already been FULFILLED) unto us, a CHILD is BORN, (THEN comes Order of event #2 that has also already been FULFILLED) unto us a son is given: (Speaking of the HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus as the Son given as the ONE sacrifice for the sins of the world.
For you see, Yahweh provided His own Lamb that was slain in the mind of God from the foundation of the world.
Also, God chose for His Lamb to be made inferior to the angels.
And thus, God made the human race AND the Son of MAN a little lower than the angelic beings) and (Or and THEN, Order of event #3 is prophesied. But that event is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED) the government shall be upon his shoulder: (Which will be fulfilled after the WRATH of God executed by Jesus.
For you see, that is WHEN the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of God's dear Son to begin the 1000 year reign of Jesus) and (Or at that time at the coming of Jesus, will come Order of event #4 that is YET FUTURE and it is YET TO BE FULFILLED WHEN the government will be set upon the shoulder of Jesus IN the world to come.
And at that TIME of the second coming of Jesus to begin the world to come) his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, (Or more precisely, according to Hebrew 5:9, the Father of everlasting life or the AUTHOR of eternal life.
For you see, it was BECAUSE, OF the Son of man, Jesus obeying his God and Father's Will, that Jesus made it possible for whosoever believes in him shall be saved.
Jesus was MADE perfect and he BECAME the Father of eternal life AFTER the cross. For you see, the Son of MAN, Jesus, was GIVEN the authority and the power AFTER the cross to JUDGE and also to give eternal life to whomsoever he chooses.
This is why Psalms chapter 2 prophesied to kiss the feet of God’s Son whom He ordained or SET to be His King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus is also called) The Prince of Peace. (And, according to Revelation 1:5, Jesus is our Prince right now standing at the right hand of God.
But at his second coming, Jesus will SIT on the right hand of Yahweh to rule and reign FOR Yahweh in Yahweh’s NAME as the Lord of the Sabbath for 1000 years.
And at that time, the kingdoms of this present world will become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. And)
Isaiah 9:7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Also, please notice WHO is doing the PERFORMING of His own spoken word of PROPHECY that came forth OUT FROM His mouth.
It is Almighty God Yahweh the Creator who is performing His own word. So to me, Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of the spoken word of PROPHECY.
To say this another way, the Son of God began as a THOUGHT in God’s mind as God's secret plan of salvation some 6,000 years ago and NOT in the eternity past as church TRADITION wrongly teaches.
Also, understand that God’s PLAN is NOT just the plan of salvation of mankind that He had not yet created.
But God’s plan also included the RESTORATION of the entire universe back to being at PEACE having no WAR.
For you see, the VERY REASON that God created the human race was to put an END to evil.
Please read the studies under the heading **WHY Are We HERE? - Is God at WAR?**
So then, I believe that DURING the days of his FLESH, Jesus was 100% a MAN from his birth to the crucifixion.
And at his baptism, his God ANOINTED him with the Holy Spirit and power. Then God SENT His Son into the world, and God was WITH His Son, according to Acts 10:38, John 3:2, John 8:29, John 16:32, and many other verses of Scripture.
But when Jesus was a child, God VISITED the Son of MAN, Jesus, morning by morning, teaching him the Scriptures, according to Isaiah 50:4-9.
Now, the Greek words that are translated as God SENT His Son almost always means God COMMISSIONED His human Son, Jesus.
And the other Greek word means SENDING, as in, Jesus was being LED by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit drove or SENT the human Jesus into the wilderness to FAST for forty days. And after the forty days, the enemy of God came and tempted Jesus.
The word “commission” means to GIVE power and authority to a person to empower them to accomplish that task that they are called upon to do.
And that is ALSO one of the meanings of the Greek word translated as “Christ”. For you see, the word Christ means ANOINTED and also means Messiah or Savior.
So then, Jesus was ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit and power from on high at his baptism in the River Jordan by John the Baptist.
And that was WHEN his God “sent” the Son of MAN, Jesus, into the world to accomplish the task God called him to do.
According to the prophecy in Isaiah 42:6, Jesus was CALLED to walk in righteousness and not sin.
And the first thing that the Holy Spirit SENT Jesus to do was to FAST for forty days and forty nights.
And THEN, Jesus was TEMPTED by the devil. Please read the Verse Study called Matthew 4:1 & 6:13 Did God LEAD Jesus to be Tempted? The short answer is NO!
For you see, according to James 1:13, we know that Almighty God Himself can NOT be TEMPTED and NEITHER does God TEMPT man with evil.
But yet, according to Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in all points, like as we are tempted, yet without sin.
And, according to Hebrew 9:14, the ANOINTED human Jesus accomplished not sinning THROUGH the Eternal Spirit DWELLING in him, which is the SAME Holy Spirit who now DWELLS in us to empower us to live without sin.
For you see, there is but ONE Spirit and that ONE eternal Holy Spirit is the Father, the ONE and only true God in ONE person who is a Spirit. Please read the study called WHY the Holy Spirit is the Father!
Now, according to Philippians 2:8-11, it was AFTER the Son of man became obedient to do all his God and Father's will, even to die on the cross, that God resurrected the Son of MAN from the dead and HIGHLY exalted him to BECOME DEITY.
And the REASON for why God did that is to JUDGE the world by the MAN whom He ordained and raised from the dead, according to Act 17:29-31.
For you see, when a MAN made a little LOWER or inferior to the Elohim, rules and reigns FOR Yahweh in the NAME of the Creator during world yet to come without any WAR, then that will CLEAR God’s name being blasphemed by the ENEMY, according to Psalm 74:18 and Psalm 51:4,5.
So then, it was AFTER the cross that Jesus was given a NEW name that is ABOVE every other name except for the name Yahweh. And God did that, so that at that NAME every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the GLORY OF Almighty God the FATHER, according to Philippians 2:8-11.
Jesus said that he is the Lord of the “SABBATH”. The Sabbath is during the SEVENTH day. And one day is as a thousand years.
So then, the “Sabbath” that Jesus is referring to is the seventh 1000 year long day of the Millennial reign of Jesus during the world yet to come.
And that is when Jesus will be called by the NAME or by the TITLE the Mighty God to rule as the Lord of the “SABBATH”, which is the seventh day of Yahweh’s rest, while His now glorified Son rules FOR Him in Yahweh’s NAME, the name above every other name.
Now, just briefly, I will recap or review what we have covered thus far.
In the VERY beginning in the eternity past, there was God ALONE.
And the one God in one person created the entire universe alone and by Himself billions of years ago.
Then around 15,000 years ago, one third of the angels that He SET to be gods over different galaxies rebelled and waged a WAR against other galaxies, according to Deuteronomy 4:32.
And it was at that time that God devised a PLAN to end that WAR.
In other words, Almighty Gd having WITHIN Himself a DESIRE to have a creation of RULERS who will NEVER rebel against Him like the fallen angels.
And also in His plan to END the WAR in heaven God had a human Son in His mind, who He Himself would train up and empower to be His Savior.
God would then give His human Son as a ransom by which Yahweh would reconcile the world back to Himself.
And for God’s plan to not fail, God chose to DWELL in His human Son to empower him.
And thus, it was the Father dwelling in His Son that was the one actually doing the works as His human Son OBEYED his God and Father.
So then, Jesus LEARNED obedience by the temptations that he suffered.
And Jesus suffered greatly in the Garden of Gethsemane sweating great drops of blood to bring his OWN will into submission to do his God and Father’s Will.
Again, God’s plan of salvation was devised at “A” beginning or at ANOTHER beginning after Lucifer rebelled to make war against God to try and take over His throne.
Then, the ONE and only true God in ONE person, alone and by Himself, recreated or RESTORED the heavens and the earth that BECAME void during the Luciferrian war against God.
And therefore, the Genesis 1:1-31 account, the account in Proverbs 8:22-31 and the account in John 1:1 refer to ANOTHER beginning to RESTORE of the earth to be inhabited once again.
Let me say this one more time, Almighty God the Father ALONE and by Himself restored the earth having a PLAN of salvation in His mind as He said to the Elohim, the angels, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness”.
And while God said those words, He encoded a SECRET message to His yet future human Son that TOGETHER his God and a MAN made LOWER than the angels would make fallen humans in their own image after FIRST making His FIRST begotten Son in His own image AFTER the cross.
NOT a God/man, but rather, God DWELLING in a MAN, TOGETHER, they are still making fallen man in THEIR IMAGE.
You see, according to the prophecies and according to the prophecies that have already been fulfilled, God STARTED with a HUMAN Son whom He VISITED morning by morning to TEACH that the Scripture testify of him, according to Isaiah 50:4-9 and Psalm 8:4.
Also, see Hebrews 2:5-10, which is how the very Apostles of Jesus understood Jesus to be. They did NOT see Jesus as being Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
Then, God ANOINTED the Son of MAN with the Holy Spirit and power at his baptism according to Acts 10:38 and Luke 4:1-22.
Jesus is called Immanuel, which means God was WITH us BY God DWELLING IN the Son of MAN to EMPOWER the Son of MAN to accomplish all that his God gave him to do.
AFTER the Son of MAN overcame the enemy to lay down his life by dying on the cross, THEN God highly exalted the Son of MAN to become a God or DEITY to rule and reign FOR Yahweh on Yahweh's throne for 1000 years during the world to come.
Again, I give all the verses to prove what I just said in the many Bible studies that I gave links to and will continue to give links to throughout this study.
But I will cover some of the verses of Scripture further on in this study right after my personal testimony of how I came to believe this truth of the whole word of Almighty God in section two.
SECTION TWO
And here is my personal testimony of HOW I came to believe what I now believe and teach.
Being one, who has been born and raised in church, so to speak, I have heard and have been taught many things about God by the Roman Catholic Church first and then other church denominations later on in my adult life.
And even though I was taught about God from an early age, I never had what some call a personal relationship with Jesus, until I began dating the girl that I would someday marry.
Looking back, I am fully persuaded that it was her rock solid, unshakable faith in God, and her prayers that caused me to take a closer look for myself at what I was taught to believe to see IF what I was taught by church denomination agreed or disagreed with what the Bible ITSELF teaches.
For you see, my faith or church upbringing had failed me, and I was no longer going to church at the time when I first met my first wife to be.
Sadly, she died at the young age of forty-five, but joyfully God brought to me another wonderful wife, two and a half years later.
As I said, before I met my wife, I was born and raised in a church, that is to say, more precisely I was raised in a religion based home.
My mother was a devout Catholic, who had me baptized in the Roman Catholic Church as a baby.
And being a Catholic, I myself was taught from a very young age that I was never to question the priest or the nuns who taught me about God.
Over and over I heard this almost warning and almost threat, NOT to question what I was taught about God.
All my life as I was growing up in the Catholic faith, I was taught never to question what I was taught to believe.
But then, one day while I was in a high school class at church, the priest began to teach on the doctrine of the Trinity.
He began to explain the Godhead as being three persons and yet still one God. All three persons were God, meaning that there was God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, but yet there was only one God.
He went on to say that it is sort of like water which has an element called H20. He explained that water or H2O can be a liquid or water, can be a gas such as steam and a vapor like we see our breath in cold weather, and water can be a solid like ice and snow.
He said, yet all three forms that water can have even at the SAME time are still the ONE element called H20.
Now, I already knew all of this, because I had heard it all my life.
However, this particular priest said something I never heard before.
He then made a statement that really made me think, I mean really made me think for MYSELF.
He said to us, “Are there any QUESTIONS”….a seemingly long pause…Then he went on to say, “It is alright to question your faith. He then said, I know some of you have some questions.”
From that point on I could not tell you one word that was said after that. I was deep in thought, in my own world, so to speak.
I almost could not believe my ears. All this time I had been taught that it was wrong to question my beliefs, or what I had been TAUGHT about God and His Son, Jesus, in the Roman Catholic Church.
And now this particular priest is telling me that it is ALRIGHT to QUESTION what he was teaching. Now here is what came out of this deep thought.
It was like I was set free to think for myself. I always feared to ask any questions about God, because I was always taught that the Pope was infallible, which means the Pope could not make an error in writing the doctrines of the church.
And since I was TAUGHT by the priests and the nuns that all the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church that were handed down from the Pope himself through the chain of those in leadership, the cardinals, the bishops, the priests, the nuns, and then ultimately to us, the laity, no Catholic is to ever QUESTION the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.
To be honest, my knowledge of God and the Bible was next to none at the time that I accepted Jesus as my personal savior at the age of 22.
I cannot tell you the exact time and day, but only the season that I came to the knowledge of the truth and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It was a four to five months before I got married.
Anyway, as I was saying earlier, my soon to be wife’s unshakable faith caused me to closely examine my own beliefs for MYSELF using only the Bible.
The only thing I knew for an absolute surety at that time was that all the Christian beliefs, no matter which church or the denomination there was that they all used the Bible as their foundation for what each of these different church denominations believed.
Yet, I knew that they all taught something different and that is why there was not just ONE church denomination? But which church denomination was teaching the truth.
Were any of the church denominations teaching EVERY thing as being the truth? I felt deep inside that the ONLY way to know for sure was to see for MYSELF what the Bible ITSELF teaches.
So I purchased a five dollar award Bible and held it up before God. And from all the sincerity of my heart I prayed this prayer.
“God I want to know the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT the TRUTH. I do not care who is right or who is wrong, all I want to know is the TRUTH.”
I knew in my heart that the Bible was the word of TRUTH, even though I had never previously owned a Bible of my own before and never heard or read those words for myself from the word of God. I just somehow knew in my heart that the Bible was the word of truth.
It was then that I began to read the Bible from cover to cover. Well, to make a long story short, God led me to the Scripture that was keeping me from trusting Him fully.
He showed me the TRUTH that I was seeking, even though I did not know at the time that I was seeking this particular truth.
And this is the truth God showed me that day which set me free to truly trust Him in all areas of my life. And that TRUTH is that God never intended for there to be divisions or different denominations in the church.
When I read the words of Paul the Apostle in 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 that divisions in the church ought not be so, I was set free.
From that point on, it was like a light was turned on inside of me and God began revealing many things to me from His word.
And even though the reason I prayed that prayer to know the truth was that I could not understand all the divisions and fighting in the church.
I did not yet understand the fighting and arguing between church denominations, until that time that I saw in God’s word that His WILL is that we all speak the SAME thing.
I was set free to fully trust God and His word that it was all the man-made church doctrines that caused all the divisions in the church.
But the thing is, that even today, some forty years later God is still honoring and answering that prayer of my desire to know the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
Well, that was just a brief summary of my personal testimony as to how I overcame the FEAR to never question any church doctrine that I was taught. In section three we will cover some of the QUESTIONS that I had.
SECTION THREE.
Now this brings us to the question or questions that I myself had that I was struggling with after I recently became a true born-again Christians at the age of 22.
And I know that if I had these questions, then other Christains might also struggle with these same questions.
One of the first questions that I had was concerning the TWO nature doctrine of the Deity of Jesus.
#1. “Is the teaching of the Deity of Jesus, that Jesus is God, being FULLY God, as in, Jesus being fully THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God Himself in the FLESH during the days of his FLESH while at the same time being fully human have TWO natures, one divine, and the other human?”
I wanted to know if Jesus did the works that he did as Almighty God Himself, as the SON OF Almighty God, or as the Son of MAN.
For you see, as I was reading the Bible it did not seem to be saying that Jesus did the work of healing AS being Almighty God Himself.
So, I was seeing a CONTRADICTION between what I was TAUGHT and what I was reading in the Bible ITSELF. So, I asked God if I was reading the Bible correctly.
And also, this first question brought another question to my mind.
#2. “Is the doctrine of the Trinity that there are three persons or three beings in one God. Where these three different persons are co-eternal and co-equal with each other?”
For you see, what I was reading in the Bible was NOT agreeing with what I was TAUGHT by the doctrine of the Trinity.
For you see, the doctrine of the Trinity teaches that God and Jesus are co-eternal. In other words, co-eternal means that each of these three persons have always existed without beginning or having an end.
And co-equal meaning, according to the doctrine of the Trinity that I was taught in the Roman Catholic Church is that each person is equal in every way where none is less than nor greater than the other.
To say this another way, the doctrine of the Trinity teaches that all THREE, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have always existed without beginning and have always been equal in every WAY, in power and in knowledge.
But yet, that is NOT what I was reading in the Bible ITSELF.
So again, I asked God, am I understanding the Bible correctly and the doctrine of the Trinity is in ERROR? Or am I misunderstanding what I am reading in the Bible?
So then, the purpose of this study in God’s word of truth is to see if either of these teachings are SOUND BIBLICAL teaching having NO contradictions to ANY part of God's word.
In other words, “Are these ‘Orthodox’ Christian doctrines, that are widely accepted church DOCTRINES, the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God”
“Do these teachings contain a portion of what is true? Or are these two doctrines completely man-made doctrines of men that contain errors of interpretation of the Scriptures?”
Let us take a CLOSE look at the word of God and let the Scriptures interpret the Scriptures.
In other words, let God’s word be the SOLE foundation on which we base our beliefs.
Now, as many of you already know, the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible.
However, I can definitely see the plurality and the unity between Almighty God, the Father, and his Son, Jesus clearly SEEN in the Bible.
In other words, there is definitely a distinction made between Almighty God the Father and His Son Jesus, but yet, they are united and they work together as one in UNITY.
However, I do NOT see the same kind of relationship between the Holy Spirit of Almighty God and the Father.
To say this another way, I do NOT see that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that the Father and the Holy Spirit are two separate persons from each other.
But rather, to ME, I myself see that the Holy Spirit is the Father, as in, ONE and the SELF-SAME divine eternal Spirit and not simply UNITED in agreement as one.
For all the verses of Scriptures that, to ME, prove without a doubt that Almighty God the Father is the ONE eternal Holy Spirit please read the study WHY The Holy Spirit Is The FATHER!
But for now, here are some examples of what I mean by some verses that SEEM to teach us that God is plural and thus it is INTERPRETED by ONLY Trinitarian Christians to mean that God is a triune or Trinity God Godhead.
One of those most popular Trinitarian verses of Scripture in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:26 where God says, “Let us make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness”.
Please read Genesis 1:27a.
“And God said, Let us make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness:…”.
Now, if one focuses only on this one Scripture without any knowledge of the rest of the word of God it would seem relatively clear and certain that God is more than one person who is talking to at least one other person and both of THEM together making man in THEIR OWN image.
And, obviously, Trinitarian Christians, “interpret” the plural pronouns as being THREE separate persons as opposed to only TWO separate persons.
Notice that I highlighted the lower case “a” in the Scripture reference and the three dots after the word likeness… This is to let the reader know that ONLY the first part of verse 26 is being quoted.
And this is called taking a verse OUT of its CONTEXT and cherry-picking only parts of verses of Scripture to build a church doctrine upon.
So then, is the Trinitarian interpretation of the plural pronouns as being THREE persons. And thus, they READ that INTERPRETATION of God being PLURAL into every verse of Scripture in the WHOLE word of God and DOGMATICALLY demand that this is what the Bible teaches us?
Jesus WARNED us about false teachers. So simply ASK yourself, is God indeed a Trinity God?
Or have Trinitarians Christians read into these verses their own personal interpretation dogmatically demanding that there is NO other way to interpret these verses that SEEM to IMPLY that God is plural Trinity Godhead, but yet, just ONE God.
I mean, THINK this trough for yourself! Now, if God INTENDED the meaning of Elohim is THREE persons in one God, then you would think that SOMEWHERE in the Bible, the prophets, Jesus, or the Apostles of Jesus would have EXPLAINED the complicated doctrine of the Trinity to us.
But yet, we see NO teaching in the Bible ITSELF of God being three separate persons in one God.
Before we take a look at the true sound Biblical meaning of Genesis 1:26 being LEFT in its CONTEXT, let us briefly take a look at the other plural use of Elohim translated as God and using plural pronouns.
Here are a few more verses of Scripture that also show this plurality.
Genesis 3:22a.
“And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:…”
Genesis 11:7,8a.
“Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them…”
Also, please read Genesis 18:1-33, which is the entire passage, but I am only going to focus on the verses that imply the plurality of God which are verses 1-4,17,33.
Genesis 18:1-4,17,33.
“And the Lord appeared unto him (Abraham) in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Genesis 18:2. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, THREE men stood by him: and when he saw THEM, he ran to meet THEM from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground.
Genesis 18:3. And said my Lord, (Singular) If now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from your servant:
Genesis 18:4. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest YOURSELVES under the tree…
...Genesis 18:17. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? (Then in the following verses that you can read on your own you will see that discussion between God and Abraham about the destruction of Sodom.
And the LORD that remained with Abraham is believed by ONLY Trinitarian Christians to be Jesus appearing to Abraham, because elsewhere in the word of God we are taught that NO man has ever seen Almighty God the Father.
But the real question should be, did Abraham SEE Yahweh with his physical eyes or did Abraham simply HEAR the voice of Yahweh?
For you see, Yahweh APPEARED to others and they did not SEE anything. So then, the word APPEARED can simply mean that Abraham HEARD Yaweh talking to him and then Abraham SAW the three men in the distance.
So, Abraham put out a “fleece” to Yahweh up in heaven saying to the voice he was hearing, if I have found favor with you then do not depart from me as Abraham ran to greet the three men.
Then Abraham spoke to the three angels that he thought were three men. Then when the three angels left, Yahweh was still there just as Abraham asked the Lord not to go away.
And thus, Abraham could have been putting a fleece before God to see if the voice talking with him was truly Yahweh by saying that if these three men were sent by you, then let them not refuse my hospitality, then I will know that it is you.
Or Abraham could have been talking to Yahweh and these three men were a DISTRACTION and Abraham said please hold on a minute, Lord, while I tend to these three men approaching my tent.
Please do not go away while I am showing them my hospitality. And when the three angels left Yahweh honored Abraham’s request to still be there after the three angels left.
And then, you know the conversation between Yahweh and Abraham while the angels went to see if it was as bad and the cry that came up to heaven.
And after Abraham got God to agree that for the sake of five righteous people God would not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah)...
...Genesis 18:33. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.”
Just briefly, I would also like to point out that Yahweh is talking to the THREE men who are actually three angels appearing in the form of three men asking the question, “Shall I [Yahweh] hide from Abraham the thing which I [Yahweh] shall do?”
Now, we all know that God is NOT an angel because God created the angels. And all Christians should know that Jesus is NOT an angel because God made him a little LOWER than the angels.
But let us ASSUME that Yahweh did appear to Abraham where Abraham literally saw Yahweh with his physical eyes.
Since Yahweh is defined by Trinitarian Christians as one Yahweh in three separate persons and Yahweh appeared to Abraham to literally be seen with physical eyes, then why is one of the angels Yahweh and only ONE of the three persons of the Trinity God and the other two angels are real angels?
In other words, was only one of the angels Yahweh, who was talking to the other two angels that He sent to come down from heaven with him? Remember that Yahweh appeared to Abraham who “supposedly” said to Yahweh, rest YOURSELVES in the plural.
So, according to the Trinitarian interpretation, then ALL THREE angels were Yahweh and NOT just one of the angels.
Or in truth, did Yahweh from up in heaven talk to all three angels that he sent on the earth while Abraham simply HEARD Yahweh and SAW three angels that appeared in the form of three men?
For a more in-depth verse by verse study of these three angels being sent to Abrahm by Yahweh please read the study THREE MEN Who Appeared To Abraham!
Then in Isaiah 6:3, we see THREE times that the word HOLY is spoken, which some say represents ONE HOLY for each person of the Trinity.
Isaiah 6:3.
“And one cried HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Again, I myself and many other Christians who call themselves Biblical Unitarian Christians believe that the Bible itself clearly teaches us that there is but ONE God in ONE person who is Yahweh, the Father ALONE.
And we believe that Yahweh brought into existence His Son Jesus as a human being FIRST whom the Father highly exalted to be MADE to BECOME a Lord and a God by TITLE to rule and reign on his God and Father's throne for 1000 years.
Stay with me and I will show you all the Scriptures that clearly teach what I just said to you either in this study or in a study that I give a link to for you to read later.
In other words, I do not cover every single verse of Scripture in every single study and this is why I give my readers links to other studies that I have where those studies focus on other verses in-depth that are only mentioned in this study and may not be mentioned at all in other studies.
I say this because I have been accused of NOT giving any Scripture to prove what I teach and I am thinking to myself that I personally do not know anyone who gives more Scripture than me to support what they are teaching.
And very few Bible teachers go into detail explaining these verses that they give only as references, as in, they simply say see Genesis 18:1-4,17. And then, they leave it to you to look them up on your own and read.
To be fair, there are some Trinitarain Christians that at times do quote a few verses of Scripture, but most of them almost always never quote the CONTEXT.
Now at times, I myself do not always quote the entire context because I want to focus specifically on the verses that Triniatarians and Oneness Pentecostal believers use to TRY and prove that Jesus is Yahweh HIMSELF before Yahweh Himself supposedly became flesh.
But the Bible ITSELF says that the “word” was made FLESH and NOT that Yahweh Himself was made flesh.
With that being stated please allow me to now teach you HOW I came to believe what I now teach in section four.
In other words, in section four in part TWO of this study on the Deity of Jesus, according to the way that the Bible itself teaches as to how the human Jesus BECAME a Deity after the cross we will get into more Scripture.
We will look at Scriptures that proves Jesus was NOT deity during the days of his FLESH and also look at Scriptures that proves Jesus BECAME Deity AFTER the cross to be MADE Lord by his God and Father, according to Acts 2:36.

And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
