Jesus Says the Father is the Only One Who is True God, While Jesus is Someone Else
We are instructed by Christ to believe in two distinct entities, one who is God, and the other who is someone else. God, for Jesus and his Apostles, is always "the Father."
Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father… This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; Believe also in me.”
“I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other."
"Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we exist through Him."
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
Jesus cannot be the one and only God himself and also truly have a God the way the disciples do.
Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'
Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
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.
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
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.
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.
…so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort…
