The God and Father OF Our Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus has a God. 

Jesus has a Father. 

Jesus is not the God. 

Jesus is not the Father. 

Jesus is the Son of God. 

Jesus was begotten of God.

Begotten: brought into existence by or as if by a parent.

The Trinity doctrine is unbiblical, meaning it was not believed or taught in the early church and never recorded in the pages of Scripture. If your church and your Bishops have presented an unbiblical doctrine only devised after a couple of hundred years of church councils, your faith may be on sinking sand.

"And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand..."

There Is Only ONE God- Yahweh

Intellectual integrity may save your reputation.

Spiritual integrity may save your soul.

The Trinity doctrine is not Biblical.

Does that matter to you?

 Shouting "heretic!" without doing the research is shameful. 

"Be diligent to present yourself approved before God,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly handling the word of truth."

"The Athanasian Creed says, 'The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.' The apostle Paul says, 'But to us there is but one God, the Father' (1 Corinthians 8:6). Who are we to believe? Paul or the Creed? The Creed says, 'But the whole three persons are coeternal, and coequal. So that in all things, as aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshiped. He therefore that will be saved, let him think of the Trinity.' Jesus, while praying to the Father, who Jesus himself identified as "my God" multiple times throughout the Scriptures (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34, John 20:17, Revelation 3:12), said, 'And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God' (John 17:3).' So who are we to believe? The Creed or Jesus?" (Little Known Facts About The Trinity, by P. Stein Kohl)

Is Death Separation of Body and Soul?

"Many mainstream Christians claim that at death, only the body dies while the soul lives on, consciously entering the presence of God. In this view, believers never really die—they skip over death entirely by transitioning instantly into eternal life.

There is no place in the Bible that defines death as the separation of the soul from the body.

So where did this concept come from? From Plato. The idea that "death is the separation of the soul from the body" comes from Greek philosophy, especially Plato.   In his dialogue Phaedo (also called On the Soul), Plato, through the voice of Socrates, taught that: “Death is the separation of the soul from the body... and the state of being dead is the soul’s being alone by itself, apart from the body.”— Phaedo 64c, 67d

In this podcast we explore some implications of the Platonic "death is the separation of the soul from the body" claim on mainstream Christianity."

The Big Lie: “Death is the Separation of the Soul from the Body”

How to Get Kicked Out of the Orthodox Church

Do you want to know how to get kicked out of the Orthodox church? Ask your priest and bishops these ten questions and do not accept the quippy statements, "Because the church says so" or "It's a mystery". Scripture always trumps doctrine- even in the Orthodox church.

(Borrowed)

Question #1: If Jesus is God, how could he die for our sins?

1 Timothy 1:17

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

God cannot die, yet Jesus was killed and then resurrected (Acts 5:30). The Bible does not say that only his “human nature” died; it says that Jesus died, which would include all of Jesus (100%).

1 Corinthians 15:3

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #2: How can Jesus be “God” and have a “God” at the same time?

The God of the Bible is the Almighty, the Creator, the Most High, and no one compares to Him. Jesus Christ cannot be “God” if he says that our heavenly Father is his “God.”

You cannot be the “Most High God” and be in submission to the “Most High God” (1 Cor.15:28) and say that He is your God. This makes no sense.

If words truly have meaning, then one cannot be “God” and have a “God” at the same time.

Check out the verses below that clearly show that our Father is the “God” of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 1:17

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Romans 15:6

…so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort…

Ephesians 1:3

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

1 Peter 1:3

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

The above verses are very clear. Jesus Christ has a God. Who is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ? Ephesians 1:17 very clearly says that this God is our glorious Father.

Jesus Christ himself called our Father his “God” and Father many different times in Scripture.

John 20:17 (KJV)

…I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

Revelation 3:12

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.

Revelation 3:21

To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #3: If Jesus was sitting at the right hand of God in heaven when the book of Revelation was written, why does Jesus continue to make such clear statements that our heavenly Father is his “God” if he himself is God?

Revelation 1:6

…[Jesus] has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father-- to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Revelation 3:12

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #4: If God cannot be tempted by evil, yet Jesus was tempted in every way we are, how can he be God?

James 1:13

For God cannot be tempted by evil.

Hebrews 4:15

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

The Bible never says that Jesus’ “human nature” was tempted, it says “Jesus” was tempted. Nowhere does it say that “part” of Jesus was tempted; it was “all” of him. If Jesus is God, this is a clear contradiction. Fortunately, Jesus is the human Son of God, so there is no contradiction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #5: If Jesus is God, then why does he pray to God and call Him “the only true God” in John 17:3?

John 17:3

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

In this verse, Jesus Christ makes a clear distinction between “the only true God” and himself. Jesus called his Father “the only true God,” and that doesn’t leave any room for Jesus to also be “God.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #6: If Jesus is God, why did he pray at all?

Luke 6:12

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

He would have been praying to himself, or another “part” of himself. Did he do it for our benefit alone? To be an example for us? If Jesus were praying to himself, or another part of himself, then he was just “acting.” It wasn’t real prayer (the way we know it), because we don’t pray to ourselves, we pray to God.

Was Jesus just “acting” when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying to God that there be another way, that “if it is possible, that the cup be taken” from him? He was asking God if there was another way (i.e., another way beside dying a horrible death on a cross). If Jesus is God, then all of his prayers “to God” make him look rather ludicrous.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #7: If Jesus is God, why did he say to his disciples: “Trust in God; trust also in me”?

John 14:1

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”

Notice that Jesus didn’t say “the Father,” he just said “God.” Jesus once again makes a clear distinction between himself and God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question #8: According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father and Son are co-equal. If that is true, how can the Father be (in any way) greater than Jesus?

John 14:28

“I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”

Mark 13:32

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

1 Corinthians 15:27-28

(27) For he (God) "has put everything under his (Jesus) feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him (Jesus), it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

(28) When he (God) has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him (God) who put everything under him (Jesus), so that God may be all in all.

Clearly, 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 nullifies the idea that Jesus is God. It says: “Now when it says that ‘everything’ has been put under him (Jesus), it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.”

How could God make it more plain?

Then it goes on to say: “Then the Son himself will be made subject to him (God) who put everything under him (Jesus), so that God may be all in all.”

Right now Jesus is exalted at the right hand of God, given all authority in Heaven and on Earth, and is “functionally” equal with God. But after Jesus has finished the job of restoring paradise, he will eventually be “made subject” to God, so that God may be all in all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The doctrine of the Trinity states that Jesus is 100% man and 100% God. Logically, you can’t be 100% of one thing and then even “a little” of something else. That is, if words and numbers have definite meanings.

Question #9: How can Jesus “be like us in every way” and still be “100% man and 100% God”?

Hebrews 2:17

For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

If Jesus is God and also “like us in every way,” that means we are all 100% man and 100% God. This makes no sense. Either Jesus is not God and truly like us in all ways (a man), or he is God and so are we.

What makes more sense?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Devil and demons call Jesus the Son of God.

Question #10: If Jesus is God and God cannot be tempted, why would the Devil tempt Jesus?

The Bible says that “God cannot be tempted” (James 1:13) and we know that the Devil knows Scripture because he quoted it while trying to tempt Jesus (Matt. 4:6). The Devil is totally evil and persistent, but he is not dumb.

Why did the Devil continue to ask Jesus “if you are the Son of God…” when he was tempting him?

Wouldn’t the Devil (Lucifer) and his demons know if they were speaking with the Almighty Himself?

In fact, he tauntingly said to Jesus:

Matthew 4:3

…“If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

Matthew 4:6

If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down.

The Devil knew that Jesus was a man, the Son of God, and the promised Messiah, and that is why he did his best to try to get him to sin. The Devil knew that if he could get Jesus to sin one time, he could not be the perfect sacrifice that was necessary for the forgiveness of our sins.

We believe that Jesus Christ is a unique man because he is the only man who was born of a virgin, who is the Last Adam, who by his free will choices to trust God lived a sinless life, always doing the will of his Father. He died as the perfect sacrifice for our sins so that we too could have a relationship with God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior, our Lord, and our Brother. Because of his obedience, God promoted Jesus to the highest place possible – "Lord" over heaven and earth (Acts 2:36; Matt. 28:18). He is now the Head of the Church, working with us to make known God’s love and truth on this earth. He is our Lord and we love him.

Does "God" have a god?

"Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, because I have not yet gone up to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them,

'I am going up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’"

 Hey Trinitarians! Does God have a god? Jesus has a god.

Scripture calls Jesus/Yeshua the son of God, not God the son. He is called the son of David, the son of man, the long-anticipated Messiah, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. He is the immaculately *begotten sinless human mediator between God and man. "The MAN Christ Jesus." He grew and learned. He only did what he heard HIS Father say do. He only said what he heard HIS father say speak. He did nothing of himself but only as he was empowered by HIS Father and God. He did not, nor does he now, have all knowledge. He does not know the hour or day of his return. Only the ONE GOD knows, the God to whom he is subject. Jesus sits at the right hand of HIS God and FATHER, awaiting the trumpet sound.

* “his only begotten Son.” Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This is one of the strongest and clearest arguments against the doctrine of the Trinity. That Jesus is the Son of God and therefore not God is a simple concept backed up by clear texts and simple biblical vocabulary. There are many clear texts expressing that Jesus is not God. For example, Jesus called God “my God” both before and after his resurrection (Matt. 27:46; John 20:17). Jesus referred to the Father as the only true God (John 17:3). Jesus said the Father was greater than he was (John 14:28). Just as Christ is the head of the man, God is the head of Christ (1 Cor. 11:3). God made Jesus “Lord,” he was not “Lord” on his own (Acts 2:36). Jesus was “given” his authority, he did not have it by virtue of being God (Matt. 28:18). God does not “inherit” anything, He is the creator. Instead, He gives an inheritance to His created children, which is why Jesus is an “heir of God” and a “joint heir” with us (Rom. 8:17). In the future Kingdom, Jesus will be subject to the Father (1 Cor. 15:28).

The doctrine of the Trinity is unbiblical, and when it was created by the Church it caused problems that cannot be solved with simple and straightforward logic and the vocabulary in the Bible. Almost all of the Ecumenical Church Councils dealt with problems created by the Trinity, and most ended with the people who held the majority position declaring that the minority were “heretics.” Instead of seeing the problems the Trinity was causing and admitting its error, the orthodox Church typically did two things: it called the unsolvable problems it created “mysteries,” and then it attempted to solve (or at least explain) them by technical language that is usually unbiblical and actually “explains” nothing. (REV Commentary)

"Three-faced god"

JTO Editor final comment: ...And the Ecumenical Church Councils threw in the holy spirit around the 6th century, completing the false doctrine that God is three persons in one being. A blatantly pagan concept.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved before God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." 2 Tim 2:15

Did Jesus Raise Himself From the Dead?

Acts 2:32 (NASB) “This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. (emphasis added)

Acts 3:26 (NASB) “For you first, God raised up His Servant and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.” (emphasis added)

Acts 4:10 (NASB) let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. (emphasis added)

Acts 17:30b-31 (NASB) …God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” (emphasis added)

Clearly, someone called “God” raised Jesus from the dead. But who is this God? Scripture specifically identifies the one who raised Jesus from the dead as God the Father:

Galatians 1:1 (NASB) Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead) (emphasis added)

Ephesians 1:17 and 20 (NASB) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory…which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places (emphasis added)

1 Thessalonians 1:9b-10 (NASB) …how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. (emphasis added)

"So, Jesus’ resurrection is presented, not as Jesus’ act, but God’s… Actually, a survey of all the NT references to Jesus’ resurrection will confirm this pattern, in which it is posited as the crucial act of God, not the act of Jesus. To portray Jesus’ resurrection as his own act demonstrating his inherent divinity is a gross misunderstanding of what the NT texts assert.”

FROM: Who Raised Jesus From the Dead? - One God Worship- FULL ARTICLE

JTO Editor Note: Hey, wait, Trinitarians! I thought Jesus was fully God and fully man. How dare the scripture continually call him a MAN. Can God die? Jesus died. God the father raised him from the dead. Why didn't Jesus raise himself? Another Orthodox "mystery"? The only mystery is how one can continually trust the doctrines of men for the salvation of their souls. There is ONE God- the Father and his sinless human son, our messiah and Lord through whom we enter the Kingdom of God.

It's not "all about Jesus". Jesus Himself would beg to differ and did, many times in the scripture, direct us to the Father- God - Yahweh. It's all about God! The resurrection is about the power and the Kingdom of GOD. In the Kingdom to come, the man, Christ Jesus will reign as our Lord for 1000 years, then hand the Kingdom back to HIS God and our God. Read the scriptures, not the corrupted Church Councils!

FROM The One God, THROUGH The One Lord Jesus

1 Corinthians 8: 4-6 

Therefore, concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that “no idol in the world really exists,” and that “there is no God but one.” For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we are through him.

"This verse clearly distinguishes between Jesus and God. There is one God and Father, and there is one man, Jesus, who is our “Lord.” This verse shows how God and Jesus work in unity to get the Church what it needs. God gave Jesus all authority and made him head over the Church, so now we get what we need “through” Jesus. Some Trinitarians say that this verse supports the doctrine of the Trinity because it says that all things came through Jesus Christ. But what the verse actually says is that all things came “from” God, “through” Jesus. That stands in contradiction to Trinitarian doctrine because it places Jesus in a subordinate role to God. According to this verse, Jesus is not “co-equal” with the Father; the Father is “God” and the ultimate source of all things, and Jesus is not called “God.” The context is the key to understanding what the phrase “all things came through him” means. There is no mention in either the immediate or the remote context about the creation of the world such that the “all things” refers to the original creation of Genesis. This verse is speaking of the Church. God provided all things for the Church via Jesus Christ." REV Commentary

A Hell Of An Idea!

By the way, where is the hell where disembodied spirits go immediately when they die? For that matter, do you still believe in the immortality of the soul? Where in the Scripture may that be found? Answer: It can't. Man only receives eternal life after the resurrection at the final judgment if he is counted as one of God's elect. All others perish. No human is innately immortal. The immortality of the soul is Greek mythology that you were told was a Christian doctrine. 

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him will not PERISH, but have life in the age to come. 

To study further or to prove that the JTO Editor is a heretic, prove this commentary wrong:

 Appendix 4: Annihilation in the Lake of Fire, REV Bible and Commentary

Plato or Paul- Whom Will You Believe?

"Furthermore, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and gathered fish of every kind. When it was filled, they dragged it up on the shore, and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. So, it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous and will throw them into the furnace of fire where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

So... if Jesus says the wicked will be thrown into the furnace of fire at the end of the age, where did you get the idea that when a wicked person dies, their "soul" immediately leaves their body and goes to "hell"? Where, for that matter, did you get the idea that a believer's "soul" immediately goes to heaven upon their death?

Is it possible that you have bought into the Platonic influence as the church did in the third century? Do you believe that man has a body that contains a soul or that the soul is the entire man? At death, does that soul pop out of the body and float away somewhere, awaiting the second coming? If so, what is the purpose of the bodily resurrection when Christ returns? You know, "the dead in Christ will rise first." Are you trapped into believing that the disembodied soul waits in heaven or hell only to be reunited with the resurrected body when it is raised? You will not find that anywhere in the scripture, so why would you believe it? Because that is what your Bishops told you?

"The far-reaching effects of Greek philosophy on the Christian faith are described also by G.A.F. Knight in his book, Law and Grace (pp. 78, 19):

“Many people today, even believing people, are far from understanding the basis of their faith… quite unwittingly they depend upon the philosophy of the Greeks rather than upon the Word of God for an understanding of the world live in! An instance of this is the prevailing belief amongst Christians in the immortality of the soul. Many believers despair of this world; they despair of any meaning in a world where suffering and frustration seemed to rule. And so they look for release for their souls from the weight of the flesh, and they hope for an entry into the “world of the spirit,” as they call it, a place where their souls will find blessedness they cannot discover in the flesh… The Old Testament, which was of course the Scriptures of the early church, has no word at all for the modern or ancient Greek idea of “soul.” We have no right to read this modern word into Saint Paul's Greek word psyche, for by it he was not expressing what Plato had meant by the word; he was expressing what Isaiah and what Jesus meant by it… there is one thing sure we can say at this point and that is that the popular doctrine of the soul's immortality cannot be traced back to a Biblical teaching.”

It remains an astonishing fact that the messages of comfort heard constantly at Funeral services in which the souls of the departed are said to be already in heaven reaffirm a central tenet of Greek philosophy which cannot truthfully be called Christian at all.” (Sir Anthony Buzzard- What Happens When We Die?)
