WHY I No Longer Believe in the Trinity Doctrine!

There are many different beliefs that Christians have as to WHO or WHAT the Holy Spirit is. 

But which belief is the truth?

Is the Holy Spirit the THIRD PERSON of the “TRINITY” as some Christians teach? 

Or is the Holy Spirit of Almighty God just a FORCE or a POWER that is sent forth FROM Almighty God as some other Christians teach?

or is the Holy Spirit the SELF-SAME ETERNAL SPIRIT of the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the Father HIMSELF?

What does the Bible teach us as to who or what the Holy Spirit is in the light of the whole word of God?

Let us begin this study in God's word by first explaining a little of these first two beliefs I just mentioned before we examine the Scriptural evidence for the third belief.

#1. Is the Holy Spirit the THIRD PERSON of the TRINITY?

The doctrine of the “TRINITY” states that there are THREE SEPARATE PERSONS in ONE God. 

That is to say, there is God the FATHER, there is God the SON, and there is God the HOLY SPIRIT, who are SEPARATE PERSONS in ONE God. 

In other words, the doctrine of the Yrinity does NOT say that there are THREE SEPARATE Gods.

But rather, it states that there is only ONE God in THREE SEPARATE PERSONS, who are CO-EQUAL and CO-ETERNAL. 

And CO-EQUAL means that none of the three persons are LESS than nor GREATER than the other.

Also, CO-ETERNAL means that ALL THREE have ALWAYS existed for all eternity and NONE of the three persons have a BEGINNING nor an ENDING.

#2. Is the Holy Spirit simply a FORCE or POWER?

Some Christians teach that the Holy Spirit is just a force or a power of Almighty God the Father that he sends forth to do his will and that the Holy Spirit is NOT a PERSON of the Godhead.

#3. Is the Holy Spirit the SELF-SAME eternal Spirit Almighty God the Father HIMSELF?

In other words, this third option means that the Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father is ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING as Almighty God the Father HIMSELF. 

That is to say, the Holy Spirit is NOT a SEPARATE PERSON from Almighty God the Father.

But rather, the Holy Spirit is ONE and the SAME PERSON as Almighty God the FATHER. 

To say this another way, the Holy Spirit is the FATHER and Almighty God the Father is the HOLY SPIRIT.

So then, now that the three different points of view have been briefly explained let us now begin this study in God’s word to see which view best fits the EVIDENCE from the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible. 

Please read Ephesians 4:30 where we are clearly and plainly taught that the Holy Spirit can be GRIEVED.

Ephesians 4:20. 

“And GRIEVE NOT the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

Grief is a FEELING or an EMOTION that an impersonal FORCE or impersonal POWER does NOT possess. 

Therefore, this one verse alone should prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the Holy Spirit is a PERSON or more precisely the Holy Spirit is the divine being of Almighty God HIMSELF with FEELINGS that can be GRIEVED.

But sadly, some Christians who do indeed see ONLY TWO DISTINCT PERSONS being Almighty God the Father AND His SON Jesus being clearly and plainly taught in the Bible, then they try and make the Holy Spirit to be just a mere power or force that Almighty God the Father uses. 

For you see, in truth, a THIRD separate distinct PERSON just does NOT fit neatly within the context of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. 

So, therefore, some NON-Trinitarian Christians who simply do not know what to call the Holy Spirit have become deceived by the enemy to falsely teach that the Holy Spirit is just an impersonal force or a power that is used by Almighty God the Father to do his will.

Now, while I do agree that the whole word of Almighty God truly only speaks of TWO different persons rather than THREE different persons, I myself do NOT AGREE that the Holy Spirit is just some impersonal force or power that is used by Almighty God to perform His will. 

But rather, I myself believe that the Holy Spirit is the Father and Almighty God the Father is the Holy Spirit, as in, they are ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING the ETERNAL SPIRIT. 

For you see, there can only be ONE Almighty God that is the ONLY Potentate who alone has always been an immortal invisible being that the Bible calls SPIRIT. 

The Biblical meaning of “Potentate” means Sovereign, as in, the HIGHEST God over ALL.

This will be explained further as we continue this study in God's word. 

But first, let us read a few verses where the Holy Spirit is called by the PERSONAL pronoun of He that is in CONNECTION with the He speaking of Almighty God the FATHER as well.

Please read John 14:8-17.

“Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the FATHER, and it suffices us.

John 14:9. Jesus said unto him, Have I been with you for such a long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? (Jesus was NOT saying that he HIMSELF IS the FATHER. (But rather, Jesus was saying I have been showing you Almighty God the Father by the WORKS that I have done THROUGH the eternal Spirit dwelling in me. 

Did you think that I did these mighty works of MYSELF Philip? 

Do you not UNDERSTAND that it is the FATHER who DWELLS in me and the Almighty God Himself is the one who is doing these mighty works? 

Therefore, I say to you Philip that anyone who has seen me has seen the TRUE God who DWELLS in  me. 

In other words, they understand that Almighty God is WITH me bearing WITNESS of me that I am THE CHRIST.

The word Christs means the ANOINTED ONE of my God and Father who DWELLS in  me to do the works that you see me do)

John 14:10. Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the FATHER in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the FATHER that dwells in me, He (Speaking of Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF the eternal Holy Spirit who DWELT in Jesus) does the works.

John 14:11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the FATHER in ME: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

John 14:12. Verily, verily, (Or TRULY, TRULY) I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do ALSO; and greater works than these shall he do; BECAUSE I go unto my Father. (One of the many reasons that Jesus ascended to the Father was to present his shed blood to the Father to cleanse us from all our sins. 

This was done so that the FATHER could DWELL in us just as Almighty God the Father DWELT in His SON Jesus the Son of MAN. 

This is HOW Jesus overcame sin and did the WORKS that his God and Father SENT His SON Jesus to do. 

And these SAME works of healing shall we do ALSO because Almighty God the Father Himself now DWELLS in us as Believers in the SON of Almighty God the Father)

John 14:13. And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, THAT the Father may be glorified in the SON.

John 14:14. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

John 14:15. If you love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:16. And I will pray to the Father, and He shall give you another (Most Christians who read this think the Comforter is different than the one that dwelt in Jesus. 

The Greek word “allon” means ‘another of the same KIND’. Whereas the Greek word “heteron” means ‘another of a different kind’. 

The exact same Eternal Spirit who dwelt in Jesus dwells in all believers. 

Also, as a side note, E-Sword, in my opinion, is not correct when it says different, as in, to be different in EVERY application)  Comforter, that He (Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF being the eternal Holy Spirit Himself through the EARNEST of His self-same Spirit) may abide with you forever;

John 14:17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees HIM not, neither knows HIM: but you know HIM; for He dwells WITH you, and shall be in you.”

So, here in this passage of Scripture it is made blatantly CLEAR to us that Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF DWELT in His SON Jesus.

And it was this SPIRIT of TRUTH who was the one who was actually doing the WORKS by the HUMAN VISIBLE HANDS of the Son of MAN, Jesus the CHRIST, the ANOINTED ONE of Almighty God the Father. 

We also learn that this SELF-SAME SPIRIT of TRUTH shall DWELL in us as believers as well. 

Jesus said that the Spirit was WITH them, but after the cross, the Holy Spirit would dwell in believers. 

So, the word “ANOTHER” comforter does not mean a THIRD separate person from the Father being FILLED with the Holy Spirit and power after the cross.

Rather, it means the SAME Father who dwelt is Jesus, NOW dwells in us as believers. 

Please read 1 John 4:9-16 where we are clearly and plainly taught that Almighty God the Father DWELLS in us as believers in Jesus Christ the SON of Almighty God the Father.

1 John 4:9-16.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God SENT his only begotten SON into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and SENT His SON to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

1 John 4:12. No man has SEEN God at ANY time. (Now, the reason that no man has ever SEEN Almighty God the Father is because the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the Father is the INVISIBLE ETERNAL SPIRIT. 

But yet many men have indeed SEEN God’s SON Jesus) If we love one another, GOD dwells in us, (Again, Almighty God the Father is ETERNAL. God is a Spirit. The ETERNAL SPIRIT dwelt in Jesus. 

And Jesus identified the one dwelling in him as being the FATHER. 

So to me, Almighty God the Father is the Spirit of truth, the God of all comfort who DWELLS in us as believers. 

In other words, Almighty God the Father HIMSELF dwells in us by giving us an EARNEST of His Spirit. 

God is SPIRIT. God is HOLY. So then, the Holy Spirit Almighty God the Father Himself dwells in us) and His (The Father's) love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:13. Hereby KNOW we that we dwell in Him, (Almighty God the Father the eternal Holy Spirit) and HE (Speaking of Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF DWELLS) in us, because He (The FATHER) has given us of His Spirit. (In other words, we KNOW that Almighty God the FATHER DWELLS in us, as Christians.

For you see, Almighty God the Father has given us an EARNEST of His very own SELF-SAME ETERNAL SPIRIT to DWELL in us as believers in His SON Jesus)

1 John 4:14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the SON to be the Savior of the world. (Almighty God did NOT send HIMSELF to be the Savior of the world. 

But rather, Almighty God the Father SENT His spoken word of PROPHECY that He would bring to pass to have a HUMAN SON who was BORN of the Virgin Mary without and earthly father.

This would be a SIGN that the one born of a Virgin would be the one PROPHESIED to come. 

In other words, God conceived His human Son in the womb of the Virgin Mary first by PERFORMING His word of PROPHECY. 

Then God ANOINTED the Son of MAN with His very OWN SELF-SAME eternal Holy Spirit to EMPOWER His SON, Jesus, at his baptism by John the Baptist. 

And thus, it was the earnest of God’s eternal Spirit was the one who actually did the WORKS through the Son of MAN, Jesus, that his God and Father SENT His SON OUT into the world to do. 

It was the FATHER HIMSELF dwelling in His SON Jesus who was the one who actually did the WORKS that men saw Jesus do. 

Jesus always gave all the glory to his God and Father as the one who did the WORKS saying, the SON can do NOTHING of HIMSELF it is the FATHER in me who does these works)

1 John 4:15. WHOSOEVER shall CONFESS that Jesus is the SON of God, (Then) God (Speaking of Almighty God the FATHER himself through His very OWN SELF SAME eternal Holy Spirit and NOT a so-called THIRD person of a so-called Trinity God called God the Holy Spirit. 

But rather, it is the EARNEST of the ONE eternal Spirit who) DWELLS in HIM, and he in God. (Now, Oneness Christians argue that Jesus is the Father because Jesus was in the Father and the Father in him. 

But this verse here in 1 John 4:9-16 teaches us that God is in us and we are in Him and that does NOT make us be Almighty God the Father)

1 John 4:16. And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in HIM.”

So then, these passages of Scripture that we just read clearly teach us that Almighty God the Father and His Holy Spirit are ONE and the SELF-SAME ETERNAL SPIRIT BEING, who is INVISIBLE and who DWELLS in us as believers in Jesus being the SON of Almighty God the Father the ETERNAL Holy Spirit. 

You see my dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are taught in God’s word that the SPIRIT of Almighty God the Father is ETERNAL. 

And, therefore, there is no need to fabricate a so-called THIRD person of a so-called Trinity Godhead. 

Please read Hebrews 9:14 where we see Jesus overcome sin THROUGH the eternal Spirit who dwelt in him during his ministry that started at his baptism by John the Baptist.

Hebrews 9:14.

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, (Speaking of HUMAN Son of MAN, Jesus, the SON of Almighty God the Father whom Almighty God ANOINTED or EMPOWER by DWELLING in His SON Jesus) WHO (Speaking of Jesus the Son of MAN in whom DWELT his God and Father the ETERNAL SPIRIT. 

That is to say the anointed Son of MAN, Jesus) THROUGH the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, (In other words, Jesus the Son of MAN, the HUMAN Jesus lived his life WITHOUT sin THROUGH the power and strength that he received by his God and Father who DWELT in him to live his life without sin. 

The Holy Spirit also strengthened Jesus to overcome his own will and chose his God and Father’s will to die on the cross for our sins. 

And not only for our sins but also for the sins of the whole world, so that WHOSOEVER believes might be saved. 

And NOW this SAME Holy eternal SPIRIT that DWELLS in YOU as a believer shall) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

Here in this passage of Scripture we learn that the Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father is an ETERNAL SPIRIT. 

Now let us read 1 Timothy 6:13-16 where we are clearly and plainly taught that Almighty God the Father ONLY has IMMORTALITY.

1 Timothy 6:13-16.

“I give you charge in the sight of God, (Speaking of Almighty God the Father) who quickens all things, (Or who makes alive all things or who gives life to all things) AND before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; (Again, we see ONLY TWO separate persons, NOT THREE. And the TWO separate persons are Almighty God the Father AND His SON CHRIST Jesus or the ANOINTED ONE Jesus. 

In other words, the vast majority of the New Testament ONLY speaks of TWO, the Father, AND His SON Jesus whom we must believe in BOTH. 

For if we do NOT have the SON then we do NOT have the FATHER.

 And many of these verses are important verses to NOT include the so-called CO-EQUAL third person of the so-called Trinity Godhead. 

In truth, the reason that a so-called “THIRD” person is not included is that there is NO THIRD person. 

God is NOT a “Trinity” God. But rather the true God is one God in ONE person and that one person is the Father ALONE. Paul gives us CHARGE before Almighty God the Father and His Son)

1 Timothy 6:14. That you keep this commandment (The word translated as commandment here in this verse means principle or TEACHING. 

So then, we are to keep this TEACHING in these verses of Scripture) without spot, UNREBUKEABLE, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

1 Timothy 6:15. Which in his times he (Speaking of the first and second comings of Jesus that Jesus the SON of Almighty God the Father) shall SHOW, WHO is the blessed and ONLY Potentate, (In other words, Jesus the SON of Almighty God the Father came to SHOW us the FATHER, who is the ONLY SOVEREIGN Almighty God, who reigns over ALL including reigning over His SON Jesus. 

To say this another way, Jesus came so that we might KNOW the FATHER as the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who is) the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (Now I know many of us have been taught that JESUS is the King of kings and the Lord of lords and this is true,

But it is NOT the WHOLE TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. 

The TRUTH of the matter is that Almighty God the FATHER is THE ETERNAL KING who is King of ALL kings including being King, Lord, and God OVER His SON Jesus who the Father has made the Son of MAN, Jesus to become a King of kings and a Lord of Lords. 

Please read the study 1 Timothy 6:15 WHO Is the King of Kings? 

That study will give you all of the Scriptures such as Revelation 14:17 and Revelation 19:16 that teach what I just said concerning the HUMAN Son of God BECOMING Yahweh’s King of kings.

But for now, just know that the WHO that Jesus came to SHOW us is the FATHER)

1 Timothy 6:16. WHO ONLY has IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; WHOM no man has SEEN, NOR CAN SEE: (Here we are CLEARLY and PLAINLY taught that the WHO that Jesus came to SHOW is the INVISIBLE ETERNAL SPIRIT, whom Jesus calls the FATHER and it is the FATHER the ONLY SOVEREIGN ALMIGHTY God, who ALONE has IMMORTALITY) to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.”

So then, since ONLY the INVISIBLE God whom no man has ever seen, nor can see is the ONLY ONE who is ETERNAL or IMMORTAL and that this INVISIBLE God is ALSO the ONLY one who is SOVEREIGN.

 And this means that ONE being who is Sovereign is OVER and above ALL, in that, He is the ALMIGHTY and the MOST-HIGH or the HIGHEST God. 

And that means that the FATHER is the one who is being spoken of in this passage of Scripture.

Now since there is ONLY ONE who is IMMORTAL or ETERNAL who is an INVISIBLE SPIRIT seeing that God is a SPIRIT, then we must conclude that Almighty God the FATHER is the ETERNAL SPIRIT who DWELT in His SON Jesus. 

In other words, we have ONLY TWO and NOT THREE separate persons as those who teach the false doctrine of the “TRINITY” dogmatically demand. 

Rather, the Bible itself really only speaks of TWO separate persons, and we must believe in BOTH to have eternal life in the world to come.

The word of TRUTH clearly and plainly teaches us that Jesus the SON OF Almighty God the Father did NOT possess ETERNAL LIFE or IMMORTALITY UNTIL his God and Father GAVE His SON Jesus the same eternal or immortal LIFE that the Father HIMSELF has always possessed from all eternity. 

Please read John 5:15-32, which clearly teaches us that Jesus did NOT possess eternal life UNTIL his God and Father GAVE to His Son Jesus the same eternal life that the Father himself possessed within himself.

John 5:15-32.

“The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

John 5:16. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to SLAY him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day. (Here again we see the Jews wanted to KILL Jesus, but this time it was because to them Jesus SUPPOSEDLY broke the Sabbath day.

At least that was the reason in the eyes of the Pharisees when Jesus healed a man by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father on the Sabbath day)

John 5:17. BUT Jesus answered them, My Father WORKS hitherto, and I work. (In other words, Jesus is saying BUT I am ONLY OBEYING what my Father is SHOWING me to do. 

Further down in this study you will understand that this means that the Father through His Holy Spirit was showing Jesus what to do and when to do it. 

And Jesus simply OBEYED the leading of the Holy Spirit. 

In simple words, Jesus was saying I am only doing what Almighty God my Father told me to do)

John 5:18. Therefore, (Or for this REASON) the JEWS sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said ALSO that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (In other words, the JEWS incorrectly interpreted the words of Jesus and FALSELY ACCUSED Jesus of making himself EQUAL to Almighty God. 

But as you will plainly see as you continue to read the CONTEXT that Jesus ANSWERED in his DEFENSE the FOLLOWING)

John 5:19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do NOTHING OF HIMSELF, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise. (In other words, Jesus is saying, I am NOT making myself EQUAL with my God and Father, because the SON can do NOTHING of HIMSELF. 

But I must OBEY my God and Father to do whatever my Father is DOING. 

That is to say, whatever Jesus the Son of MAN saw in a dream or in a vision or in the written word of God, and whatever Jesus heard the Father say to do by the inward voice of the Holy Spirit, then Jesus simply OBEYED what he knew that the Father was telling him to do. 

This is what Jesus meant when he said his Father was WORKING on the Sabbath day, and so I also must work the same works that I see my father doing. 

Now to me, this DEFENSE that Jesus makes right after the Jews FALSELY ACCUSE him of making himself EQUAL with God, clearly teaches us that Jesus was in no WAY claiming to be the great I AM nor was Jesus making himself to be EQUAL with Almighty God the Father. 

Jesus HIMSELF clearly and plain said that the SON can do NOTHING of HIMSELF. 

Further on you will learn that it was the Father DWELLING in Jesus the SON who actually did the WORKS that the SON could NOT do of HIMSELF)

John 5:20. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all things that Himself does: and He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

John 5:21. For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.

John 5:22. For the Father judges no man, but has COMMITTED all judgment unto the Son:

John 5:23. That (Or so that) all men should HONOR the Son, EVEN as they HONOR the Father. He that honors NOT the Son honors NOT the Father which has SENT him. (In other words, the Bible teaches us that we must believe and have BOTH the Father AND the SON in order to have ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come. 

But yet, the doctrine of the Trinity WRONGLY dogmatically demands us to believe that Jesus is the I AM, as in, Jesus is ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING as the GREAT I AM that I AM, Yahweh Himself. 

Yes, there is absolutely no doubt that Jesus came OUT FROM the one true and only ALMIGHTY God. 

But this by no means that Jesus is the one true and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. 

You see, THE ALMIGHTY God has no beginning and has NOT been BEGOTTEN.

However, Jesus, the SON of Almighty God, was BEGOTTEN, or brought into existence. 

Yes, there is no doubt that Jesus came OUT FROM Almighty God by or through the spoken WORD of Almighty God.

The ORIGIN of the Son being brought into existence is FROM Almighty God.

But again, this does not mean that Jesus is Almighty God, Yahweh Himself. 

You see God said, “I AM THAT I AM”, which LITERALLY means that Almighty God said “I SHALL BECOME who and WHAT I am BECOMING”.

Now, this could very well be INCORRECTLY interpreted that Almighty God HIMSELF literally BECAME a HUMAN BEING. 

But in the light of the WHOLE word of God, we understand that God created all things by His very own spoken WORD calling what He desires into existence.

So AGAIN, please read Book 6 Chapter 6, Philipians 2:6 The TRUE Meaning! 

In that book, the TRUTH shows the ERRORS of interpretation made by Trinitarian Christians who CLAIM that the Word laid aside all the divine advantages that he had to BECAME FLESH, a HUMAN BEING and God man having two natures at the same time)

John 5:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that SENT me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (All through the New Testament we see TWO in whom that we are taught to believe in, Almighty God the Father AND the SON Jesus. 

Please read the study Does HEBREWS 1:10 PROVE Jesus is Yahweh? 

That study will give you a deeper understanding that the ETERNAL SPIRIT is Almighty God the Father HIMSELF who is a SPIRIT. 

And that Jesus is the SON of Almighty God the Father, the eternal Holy Spirit)

John 5:25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (Jesus has the POWER to raise the dead because the God of Jesus GAVE His Son this authority, which you will clearly see in the context of this verse that follows)

John 5:26. For (Or BECAUSE) as the Father has life in himself; SO has He GIVEN to the Son to have life in himself; (In other words, Jesus the SON did NOT always eternally exist with or by the side of his God and Father from all eternity past, except in the mind and plan of Almighty God. 

Everything that Jesus is or has, was GIVEN to him by his God and Father the one true and only ALMIGHTY God. 

In other words, John 1:1 says that the WORD, the LOGOS or the SAYING was with God in the beginning, and NOT that Jesus or the Son was with the Almighty God in the beginning. 

Please read the study JOHN 1:1 THE WORD WAS GOD!)

John 5:27. And has GIVEN him authority to execute judgment ALSO, BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN. (In other words, all that Jesus is or has was GIVEN to him by his God and Father was NOT because Jesus is THE Almighty God. 

NOR was it because Jesus was the SON of GOD, but rather the REASON that Jesus was HIGHLY EXALTED and GIVEN a NAME above all name is BECAUSE Jesus is the Son of MAN who OVERCAME the enemy of God to fulfill God's plan of redemption for mankind)

John 5:28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (Again, all that Jesus is and all that Jesus has INCLUDING IMMORTAL LIFE and the AUTHORITY to raise the dead, and give to whom so ever Jesus wills eternal life was GIVEN to him BY HIS God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God. 

Remember that Almighty God said I AM THAT I AM, or I will BE what I will BE, or I shall BECOME what or who I am BECOMING. 

The WORD pf PROPHECY BECAME a HUMAN BEING so that Almighty God HIMSELF could DWELL in this body of FLESH of His HUMAN Son that He created for Himself to dwell in. 

It was after the cross and resurrection that the HUMAN Son of God was MADE to BECOME the ETERNAL SON of Almighty God the Father.

Please read the three-part study called WHEN Did Jesus BECOME the Eternal Son of God? Part 1. 

But for now, please know and understand that Jesus was GIVEN all POWER to raise the dead and JUDGMENT to give ETERNAL LIFE to whomsoever he wills, BECAUSE Jesus was the Son of MAN.

It was NOT because Jesus was FULLY God and fully man at the same time. 

Nor because Jesus was the SON of God. But rather, it was BECAUSE that Jesus was the Son of MAN a HUMAN BEING that OVERCAME the enemy by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God that DWELT in Jesus. 

This is what the WHOLE word of God clearly teaches us)

John 5:29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation,

John 5:30. I can OF MY OWN SELF DO NOTHING: (Simply ask yourself the question HOW can the TRUE God can do NOTHING in and of HIMSELF? 

I mean THINK this through for yourself. If so be that Jesus was truly fully Almighty God HIMSELF in the flesh, then HOW is it that THE Almighty God Himself in the flesh can do NOTHING in and of himself? 

The TRUTH of the matter is that Jesus is NOT the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God, who is the FATHER ALONE, who DWELT in HIS HUMAN SON Jesus.

It was the TRUE God dwelling in the Son of MAN, who actually did the WORKS through the human hands of His SON Jesus OBEYING his God and Father) as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek NOT my OWN will, BUT the will of the Father which has SENT me. (Now, in all honesty, does this sound like Jesus is saying that he himself is the great I AM or that Jesus is saying that he is EQUAL to Almighty God the Father? 

Absolutely NOT! Jesus himself clearly and plainly said with absolutely NO interpretation needed that he could do NOTHING in and of himself. 

Can you not see my dear brothers and sisters, in our Lord Jesus Christ, that IF Jesus were TRULY the Almighty God himself or even EQUAL with Almighty God, then Jesus would have never said that he could do NOTHING of HIMSELF)

John 5:31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 5:32. There is ANOTHER that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which He witnesses of me is true.”

To all the Oneness Christians, the word of TRUTH teaches us that ANOTHER BEING that is a SEPARATE being from the Son bears witness of Jesus as being sent by his God and Father. 

How can a so-called manifestation of Yahweh the HIGHEST God have ANOTHER God over Him? 

The Bible makes it plainly clear in SIMPLICITY that the Father is the God of Jesus. 

The truth of the matter is that everything that Jesus is or has was GIVEN to him by his God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the INVISIBLE ETERNAL SPIRIT who ONLY has IMMORTALITY until the day that He gave His SON Jesus to HAVE LIFE in himself EVEN as the Father has LIFE in Himself. 

Now only these TWO have IMMORTALITY in themselves UNTIL that great and notable day to the coming of Jesus and his Father with him, when Jesus will give eternal life to those faithful believers who have endured unto the end.

Again, the majority of the New Testament speaks of ONLY TWO, who are Almighty God the Father AND His SON Jesus. 

Throughout the New Testament the writers made very clear distinctions between Almighty God the Father and His Son Jesus, and in all the greetings, we do NOT see any mention of the Holy Spirit. 

In other words, we ONLY see TWO who are distinctly being spoken of as two separate persons.

                And the word of TRUTH, the Holy Bible ALWAYS clearly and plainly DISTINGUISHES the TWO as being Father AND Son and never as being ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING. 

Oneness Pentecostal Christians call Jesus a MANIFESTATION or a MODE of God where Yahweh revealed Himself in a different fashion of HIMSELF in human form. 

And they wrongly and incorrectly teach that Jesus is NOT a LITERAL SEPARATE person from Almighty God the Father who is ONE God is ONE person.

Please consider the many greetings given to the church clearly and plainly DISTINGUISHING the TWO as being SEPARATE persons or two separate beings.

 1 Corinthians 1:3.

“To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father AND Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Titus 1:4.  

“To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.”

Philemon 1:3.  

“Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 1:1.

“Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father AND in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Timothy 1:1,2.

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, AND Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope. 

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father AND Jesus Christ our Lord.”

1 John 1:3.

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, AND WITH His Son Jesus Christ.”

2 John 1:3.

“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ, the SON of the Father, in truth and love.”

And according to Acts 2:36, it was Almighty God the Father who MADE this same Jesus BOTH Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:36.

“Therefore, let all the house of Israel (And let ALL Christians) KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God has MADE that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, BOTH Lord and Christ.”

Now, there are a few verses in the Bible that may SEEM to teach us that there are THREE. 

But in truth, there can only be found in the light of the WHOLE word of God that there are actually only TWO separate and distinctly DIFFERENT persons. 

And those two separate persons are Almighty God the Father, who ALONE is one and the SELF-SAME being as the eternal Holy Spirit himself, AND His Son Jesus. 

Clearly, the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Jesus is a SEPARATE PERSON or being from his God and Father, who ALONE is the one true and only ALMIGHTY God that is SPIRIT.

One such verse that may SEEM to some Christians to teach us that there are THREE separate distinct persons in one God is found in 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Please read 2 Corinthians 13:14.

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”

Yes, there are three things that are being mentioned here in this verse. 

But UNLIKE all the other verses that say GRACE be to you FROM the Father and His Son, where Almighty God the FATHER and His SON are sending the ONE gift of GRACE this verse is speaking of three things. 

Let me explain what I mean. 

Here in 2 Corinthians 13:14, we have THREE DIFFERENT THINGS, GRACE, LOVE, and COMMUNION being sent from what may SEEM to be THREE different persons. 

But in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God, we see that Almighty God the FATHER so loved the world that He gave His Son so that those, who believe, might have COMMUNION with His Holy Spirit dwelling only in true born-again Christians. 

And as you have just seen in this study, the Holy Spirit and Almighty the Father are ONE and the SELF-SAME BEING. 

Always remember that any INTERPRETATION of a verse MUST, without fail, AGREE with the REST of God's word. 

And if what one concludes, or interprets a single verse of Scripture to mean, does NOT AGREE with the REST of God's word, then that INTERPRETATION of that verse of Scripture is in ERROR, incorrect and FALSE. 

Therefore, any interpretation that CONTRADICTS any other verse in the Bible must be rejected as FALSE teaching.

Jesus himself never claimed to be Almighty God nor did Jesus ever make the claim to be equal with his God and Father. 

But rather, Jesus spoke of himself as being the Son of Man and the Son of God. 

Jesus always maintained and clearly taught us that Almighty God the Father was GREATER than himself. 

The word of TRUTH clearly and plainly teaches us that Jesus is THE CHRIST, or the ANOINTED ONE of his God and Father the ALMIGHTY. 

This means that Almighty God the FATHER HIMSELF DWELT in His SON Jesus to empower His SON to do the works that the Father sent His SON to do.

The Apostles of Jesus never referred to Jesus as the Almighty God or equal with Almighty God. 

The early church was very careful to make a very clear distinction between Almighty God the Father and His SON Jesus. 

The writers of the New Testament always clearly IDENTIFIED the FATHER ALONE as being God. 

As in, the ONE TRUE and ONLY God who is THE ALMIGHTY and MOST-HIGH God over any other God including being the God of His SON Jesus. 

Please read for yourself what the writers of the New Testament wrote leaving us clear evidence that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the FATHER ALONE is THE God, THE ALMIGHTY. 

Please read 1 Corinthians 8:6 which clearly identifies ONLY the FATHER as being God.

1 Corinthians 8:6.

“But to us (Speaking of us, as Christians) there is but ONE God, the FATHER, of whom are all things, and we in him: and ONE Lord Jesus Christ, by (Again, the Greek word “dia” here also means FOR. 

So, an honest translation that AGREES with the whole word of God this verse should read FOR) whom are all things, and we by (Or we in) him.”

Now some who teach the doctrine of the Trinity have argued saying, “Well that is just ONE verse and does not prove that Jesus is not Almighty God Himself in the flesh.” 

They argue that Thomas called Jesus his Lord and his God! 

When I read this argument I thought to myself, "What Bible are they reading anyway to say that this is the ONLY verse in the Bible that clearly identifies the FATHER as the God?” 

Yes, Thomas said to Jesus, “My Lord, and my God” but you have to remember that Thomas said this AFTER the cross and resurrection.

And that is when Yahweh the Father MADE the Son of MAN to be both Lord and Christ. 

After the cross, Jesus expounded all the prophecies that spoke of him and one of those prophecies is that Jesus would be called the God of the whole earth in the world to come. 

Yahweh the Father GAVE Jesus the throne of David to be the King of Israel to rule FOR Yahweh and in the NAME of his God and Father, Yahweh the ONLY true God. 

Jesus himself calls the Father the ONE TRUE God in John 17:7 and in John 20:17 Jesus calls the Father HIS God which leaves no doubt that Jesus became a God by TITLE or by NAME under his God after the cross. 

How can an Almighty God have another God over him? Yahweh the Father is the God of Gods who He Himself APPOINTED to become Gods by TITLE to rule FOR the Creator.

John 20:17.

“Jesus said unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

The writers of the New Testament in EVERY book, with the exception of just the one book, third John, clearly identify the FATHER as being God. 

And only TWO times in the entire New Testament is the Son ever said to be God. 

The time Thomas said, “my Lord and my God '' in John 20:20 which I explain other meanings in the study JOHN 20:28 MY LORD and MY GOD!,

And the other time is in Hebrews chapter 1, verse 8, which the CONTEXT teaches us of Jesus as being a God UNDER HIS God and Father

And again, the whole word of God clearly identifies the Father ALONE as being THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who is above all including being THE God over His SON Jesus as well. 

Please read the study Does Hebrews 1:10 PROVE  JESUS IS YAHWEH?

Now both Trinitarian and Oneness Christians go immediately to John 1:1 when they hear Biblical Unitarian Christians say that Jesus is “A” God under and subject to his God and Father. 

But have you ever TRULY considered John 1:1 as a PROPHECY of the spoken word of God being FULFILLED? 

What I mean by this is that when we look at the END that was declared at the beginning we see that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was highly exalted and given a NAME that is above every name EXCEPT for the name Yahweh. 

We see the Father giving the now glorified Son of MAN a throne to rule FOR Yahweh in the world to come as the God of the whole “earth” and not the God of the whole universe. 

We see Jesus made a little lower than the angels in his first state as a human being. And then after the cross, we see Jesus OBTAINING a NAME that is more excellent than the angels. 

We see that when God brings Jesus back into the world at the second coming of Jesus that the angels will worship him. 

And then after the 1000-year reign of Jesus has ended, Jesus will commit the ruling of the kingdom back to his God and Father. 

So to me, the Bible clearly teaches us that Jesus BECAME “A” God under and subject to his God and Father who alone is the ONLY TRUE God who has always existed as the SOURCE of all other Gods that He Himself SET, or crowned to be Gods. 

Please read the study Are There TWO GODS? 

But for now let us take a look at every book of the New Testament to see what the Apostles and the disciples of Jesus, who were EYEWITNESSES of Jesus, had to say about Jesus being the SON of Almighty God the Father and the Father as being THE God OVER His Son, Jesus.

Acts 2:33.

“Therefore being by the right hand of  God EXALTED, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.”

God is identified as being the Father by which Jesus was EXALTED to sit at his God and Father's right hand and from which Jesus RECEIVED the authority to shed forth the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 1:7.

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our FATHER, AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER, and the Son of MAN, Jesus, is clearly identified as being LORD and CHRIST.

Romans 15:6.

“That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, EVEN the FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 1:3.

“Grace be unto you, and peace, FROM God our FATHER, AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 15:24.

“Then comes the end, when he (Jesus the SON of Almighty God the FATHER) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, EVEN the Father; when He (The Father) shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.”

Again, God is CLEARLY and PLAINLY identified as being the FATHER ALONE and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST, who is UNDER and SUBJECT to his God and Father the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God Yahweh even in the world to come.

 And in verse 28 1 Corinthians 15:28, you can read on your own that Jesus commits the ruling of the kingdom back into the hands of his God and Father. 

Clearly, Jesus was MADE both Lord and Christ and then became “A” God to rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME OF Yahweh in the world to come.

2 Corinthians 1:2.

“Grace be to you and peace FROM God our FATHER, AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 1:3.

“Blessed be God, EVEN the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST. Almighty God the FATHER is being identified as the Father OF our Lord Jesus the CHRIST along with being identified as the Father of mercies and also as the God of all comfort.

2 Corinthians 11:31.

“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knows that I lie not.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST. 

Also, the Father is being identified as the God of Jesus just like we read in Hebrews 1:8,9.

Galatians 1:1.

“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, AND God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)”

Some Trinitarian Christians will argue that Jesus raised himself from the dead by using the one verse of Scripture in John 2:19. 

But im TRUTH, Jesus was prophesying of raising up his “body”, the church, the dead in Jesus Christ from the dead.

 Galatians 1:3.

“Grace be to you and peace FROM God the Father, AND FROM our Lord Jesus Christ,”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Galatians 1:4.

“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:”

The Son of MAN, Jesus, obeyed the WILL of his God and Father over his own will to die on the cross for our sins. Again, Almighty God is identified as being the Father.

Ephesians 1:2.

“Grace be to you, and peace, FROM God our Father, AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:3.

“Blessed be the God AND Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST. In this verse, we ALSO see the writer of Ephesians identifying the Father of Jesus as being the GOD of Jesus. So then, the ALMIGHTY is BOTH the God of Jesus AND Father OF Jesus.

Ephesians 1:17.

“That THE God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:”

The subject of this verse is THE God of Jesus speaking of Almighty God the FATHER as being the Father of glory who gives us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of His Son, Jesus.

Ephesians 4:6.

“ONE God and FATHER of ALL, who is ABOVE ALL, and through all, and in you all.”

In this verse the writer of the book of Ephesians clearly and plainly identifies the ALMIGHTY the God, who is ABOVE ALL, as being the ONE God called the FATHER. 

So then we see here once again that there is but ONE God and but ONE FATHER of Jesus. 

Therefore, when we see that the Holy Spirit is the FATHER, the ONE God and ONE FATHER of Jesus, who was CONCEIVED or FATHERED by the Holy Spirit agrees with the rest of God's word clearly teaching us that there is but ONE FATHER of Jesus. 

The Bible clearly teaches us that Jesus is UNDER and SUBJECT to his God and Father, who the writers of the New Testament clearly identify as being the ONE God. 

The apostles and disciples of Jesus always called Jesus Lord, Christ, SON of God, and the Son of MAN, but NEVER ALMIGHTY God himself. 

They ALWAYS made it explicitly clear that they are TWO separate distinct persons who are NOT one and the self-same being. 

Now some may argue that Jesus said that he and the Father are ONE and then INTERPRET that verse to mean that they are one and the self-same being. 

But this is NOT what that verse is truly saying in the light of the WHOLE word of God. 

Please read the study, John 10:30_I and my FATHER ARE ONE! 

But for now, let us continue the study at hand. Again, every book in the New Testament clearly identifies the one true and only Almighty God as being the FATHER except for 3 John. 

But seeing that both 1 John and 2 John identify God as being the Father then every writer of the New Testament understood and taught that ONLY the Father is the one true God.

Ephesians 5:20.

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Ephesians 6:23.

“Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Philippians 1:2.

“Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 2:11.

“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

In this verse, the writer teaches us that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and NOT that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY Yahweh HIMSELF. 

So once again, THE ALMIGHTY God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST. Also, notice that it is always TO the GLORY of the FATHER.

Philippians 4:20.

“Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

In this verse, we again see the FATHER as being God.

Colossians 1:2.

“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Colossians 1:3.

“We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,”

Again, this verse could be saying that God is the God OF Jesus and the FATHER OF Jesus, which does agree with the rest of God's word.

1 Thessalonians 1:1.

“Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father AND in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

1 Thessalonians 1:3.

“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

1 Thessalonians 3:11.

“Now God HIMSELF and our Father, AND our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.”

Here in this verse, we see the writer clearly identifying the ONE true God HIMSELF as being the FATHER.

And again, identifying Jesus as being both LORD and CHRIST. 

And, according to Acts 2:36, it was God HIMSELF who MADE Jesus to be both Lord and Christ.

1 Thessalonians 3:13.

“To the end, he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, EVEN our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

2 Thessalonians 1:1.

“Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ:”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

2 Thessalonians 1:2.

“Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

2 Thessalonians 2:16.

“Now our Lord Jesus Christ HIMSELF, AND God, EVEN our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,”

In this verse, the writer seems to go out of his way to clearly identify Jesus HIMSELF as being Lord and Christ and God as being EVEN the FATHER, as in, the Father ALONE being the Almighty God.

1 Timothy 1:2.

“Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father AND Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Once again, our LORD is identified as being Jesus Christ and our God as being the FATHER.

2 Timothy 1:2.

“To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Titus 1:4.

“To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

Philemon 1:3.

“Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

James 1:27.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

James 3:9.

“Therewith bless we God, EVEN the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.”

In this verse, like in 1 Corinthians 8:6, the writer EMPHASIZES God being SOLELY identified as being the FATHER ALONE that he says EVEN the FATHER.

1 Peter 1:2.

“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

1 Peter 1:3.

“Blessed be the God AND Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

Here again, the Almighty is being identified as the God of Jesus as well as the Father of Jesus. And Jesus is identified as Lord and Christ.

2 Peter 1:17.

“For he (Jesus the SON of Almighty God the FATHER) received from God the Father honor and glory when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved SON, in whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus RECEIVED Lordship FROM Almighty God the Father. Everything Jesus is or has was GIVEN to him by Yahweh, the FATHER, who is the God of Jesus. 

The Father MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be our Lord and our God AFTER the cross. 

Some Christians argue that Jesus is called Lord before the cross but you have to remember that the New Testament was written AFTER the fact as a record and not as a moment by moment LIVE recording. 

That is why it SEEMS that Jesus was given eternal life before the cross. 

But that would make no sense because if Jesus had eternal life before the cross then eternal life does not mean eternal LIFE. 

2 John 1:3.

“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, FROM God the Father, AND FROM the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”

Again, God is identified as the FATHER and Jesus as being LORD and CHRIST.

2 John 1:9.

“Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has BOTH the Father AND the Son.”

In this verse we clearly see that we must, without fail, believe in BOTH Almighty God the Father AND in His SON Jesus. 

Now to me, if so be that the word of God truly taught the doctrine of the Trinity, then this verse would have been the ideal place to ADD the Holy Spirit, 

and clearly teach us that we must believe in all THREE rather than believing in ONLY the Father AND the Son. 

To understand the true meaning of the doctrine of Christ please read the study JESUS THE CHRIST!

Jude 1:1.

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father AND preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:”

Again, the FATHER alone is identified as being God.

Revelation 1:6.

“And has made us kings and priests UNTO God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

In the four gospels, Jesus HIMSELF identifies the one TRUE God as being the FATHER. 

Jesus identifies God as being the CREATOR. Jesus identifies the Father as being HIS God and Father. 

Please read John 17:3 again, which is where Jesus is praying TO his God and Father up in heaven and clearly identifies the Father as being the ONE TRUE and ONLY Almighty God.

John 17:3.

“And THIS is life eternal, THAT they might know YOU the ONLY TRUE God, AND Jesus Christ, whom YOU have SENT.” 

In other words, Jesus is praying to his God and FATHER saying, THIS is eternal life or the only way to obtain eternal life in the world to come so that all who believe in the SON of God will know YOU FATHER as the ONE and ONLY TRUE God, 

AND that I, Jesus, am your SON whom YOU have ANOINTED and whom you have SENT out into the world to do your will. 

We must believe in BOTH the Father AND the Son in order to receive eternal life. 

And by claiming that Jesus is Yahweh HIMSELF is making Jesus be one and the self-same being as the Father. 

Jesus is the IMAGE of  the Father, Jesus preached in the NAME OF the Father. 

Jesus is the REPRESENTATIVE of the Father who alone is the ONLY TRUE God. Yes, Jesus is “A” God under and subject to his God who MADE him become the Lord of the Sabbath.

In 1 John 4:9-15 we can see in verse 9 that God sent his only begotten SON and in verse 14 we can see that the FATHER sent His SON, which again clearly shows us that God is the FATHER ALONE.

1 John 4:9-15.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God SENT His only begotten SON into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

1 John 4:12. No man has seen God at any time. (And clearly, many men have indeed seen Jesus) If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

1 John 4:14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the Son to be the Savior of the world.

1 John 4:15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the SON of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.”

Please notice that nowhere in the word of God are we ever clearly and plainly taught that we must believe that Jesus is the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God Yahweh HIMSELF. 

But we are clearly and plainly taught that we are to believe and CONFESS that Jesus is the SON of Almighty God the Father who SENT His SON out into the world to be the atonement for our sins.

Also, notice that nowhere in the entire word of God are we ever taught in clear plain simplicity that we must believe that God is a TRINITY, a triune being, or THREE persons in ONE God.

And nowhere in the Bible are we taught that we must believe that Jesus is the FATHER.

But again, the word of TRUTH does indeed clearly and plainly teach us that we MUST believe that Jesus is the SON of Almighty God the Father. 

We must believe that Jesus is the CHRIST, the ANOINTED one of Almighty God the Father. 

We must believe that Jesus suffered and died for our sin and that God our Father raised His Son from the dead.

So then, the ONLY book in the ENTIRE New Testament that does not clearly and plainly identify the one true and only Almighty God as being the FATHER in 3 John, which does not even mention either God or His Son Jesus.

So why then do some Christians DOGMATICALLY demand and insist on taking some isolated scriptures out of their context and try and force them to say that Jesus is God. 

As in, Jesus being FULLY ALMIGHTY God HIMSELF and fully man at the SAME time? 

Please read the three-part study called The DEITY of JESUS ACCORDING to the Bible ITSELF!

Also read Matthew 28:18 Proves Jesus became Deity and JESUS THE SON OF MAN for a deeper understanding of this controversial subject in God's word. 

Also please read JESUS THE CHRIST, and JESUS OUR FELLOW SERVANT. 

In these studies, I will address the verses of Scripture that are used by those that teach that Jesus is God in the flesh. 

My desire for you is that you be not DECEIVED and that you come to the knowledge of the TRUTH. 

And this is so that you will not be overcome by the enemy and do the works that Jesus did. 

I do indeed teach that Almighty God HIMSELF LITERALLY became FLESH and dwelt among man. 

However, I do NOT teach this sound Biblical teaching in the WAY that the mainstream churches TWIST the truth of Jesus being GOD INCARNATE. 

Please read the study What Does God Incarnate TRULY Mean? to what the Bible itself ACTUALLY teaches on this subject.

One of the reasons that I step out and teach this highly controversial subject is that I see people who will NOT even give God a chance BECAUSE of this man-made DOCTRINE of the Trinity. 

I have actually heard someone say to me personally that they would believe in God if it was NOT for this three in one and one in three Trinity DOCTRINE that they could NOT understand. 

Now, at that time, I was not yet a true born-again Christian, but rather, I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church which teaches that the doctrine of the Trinity is a “MYSTERY”. 

But yet the Bible teaches us in SIMPLICITY that the Son of MAN, Jesus BECAME Deity after the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36 and many other passages of Scripture. 

We are given to KNOW the things of God by His Spirit who leads and guides us into all truth. 

So I have to wonder if the leaders of the church who formed the doctrine of the Trinity even had the Spirit of God dwelling in them. 

For you see, it took over three hundred years to finally force their man-made doctrine upon the church. 

The truth of the matter is that even many Christians who sincerely believe and teach the man-made DOCTRINE of the Trinity do not truly understand it either. 

And they have great difficulty in trying to explain it to others. 

I have heard MANY Christians say that it is a MYSTERY and we are NOT meant to UNDERSTAND how God can be three separate persons in one God and we just have to accept this teaching by faith.

Now if a doctor would say to you that he did NOT UNDERSTAND the human body and that you just have to BELIEVE and TRUST him to operate on you, then would you just BLINDLY trust your LIFE in his hands? 

I think not! You would be more likely to seek out another doctor who did UNDERSTAND the human body.

How much more important is your reward of ETERNAL LIFE to be trusted in the hands of those who tell you that they themselves do NOT UNDERSTAND the doctrine of the trinity and dogmatically demand that YOU must believe it or die in your sins?

For me personally, if I MYSELF do not see it in the WORD of God, for MYSELF, then I do NOT blindly accept ANY teaching from any church denomination. 

So, another reason why I myself do NOT believe in the doctrine of the trinity or the oneness doctrine sometimes called Modalism, is that they are NOT clearly and plainly taught in the WORD of TRUTH, the Holy Bible, in SIMPLICITY. 

And both of these man-made THEORIES contradict many other parts of God's word.

So then, WHY DOGMATICALLY teach that Jesus is ALMIGHTY God Himself in the flesh when there are no verses of scripture in the Bible that COMMANDS us to BELIEVE that Jesus is FULLY Almighty God and FULLY man at the SAME time?

WHY go BEYOND the clear, plain, and simple word of God and dogmatically demand Christians to believe doctrines that are NOT clearly STATED in the Bible? 

Why not just say and teach ONLY what is clearly taught to us in the Bible itself, in SIMPLICITY? 

God is NOT the author of CONFUSION. So any doctrine that is CONFUSING to you beware, seeing that the DEVIL is the author of CONFUSION.

However, on the other hand, there are verses that CLEARLY and PLAINLY teach us that we must believe that Jesus is the SON of God in SIMPLICITY, 

with absolutely no INTERPRETATION needed to understand these clear statements of FACT found in the Bible. 

But my main point of focus in this study is to show that the WHOLE word of Almighty God clearly teaches us that the Holy Spirit is a PERSON, but NOT the THIRD person of the “TRINITY”. 

But rather that the Holy Spirit is Almighty God the FATHER himself, because the vast majority of the New Testament teaches us of ONLY TWO, the Father and the SON, as opposed to teaching us that we must believe in THREE in order to receive ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come.

Please consider 2 John 1:8-10.

“Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (Speaking of eternal life in the world to come)

2 John 1:9. Whosoever transgresses, and abides NOT in the DOCTRINE of CHRIST, (Or in the teaching of the ANOINTING or the ANOINTED ONE Jesus) has NOT God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has BOTH the Father AND the Son

2 John 1:10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
