Jesus Has a God

Jesus not only had a God, but God was his Father. It is impossible that Jesus could be the same person as his Father. The disciples had a God who they differentiated from Jesus. Jesus was known by the entire universe that he was the Son of the most high God and never the most high God Himself.

Probably one of the most striking proofs that Jesus and His Father are not the same person is his presence at the Throne of God. The New Testament tells over 40 times that Jesus would sit or is sitting at the right hand of God on the throne of God. If he is literally at God’s right hand on the throne of God, it would be ridiculous to think that he is also God.

Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. (Luk 22:69)

Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. (Act 7:56)

How Many Gods?

Those that defend the doctrine of the Trinity use verses to prove that since there is “only one God”, then Jesus must in fact be capital “g”: God. (Just for reference sake, when I say “person” in this article I am not referring to a human being but a person in the grammatical sense of the word or as an entity, especially since God is a spirit, or whatever he is, and not human.)

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me no God… Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any]. (Isa 44:6-8)

I [am] the LORD, and none else, no God beside me… (Isa 45:5)

…and no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; none beside me. …Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and none else. (Isa 45:21-22)

…and thou shalt know no god but me: for no saviour beside me. (Hos 13:4)

The Word was God

But the reason he is known as the Word is that what was taught to Jesus by his Father was the only thing that came out of the mouth of Jesus. He lived, breathed, taught, lived and died for the Word of God that he received from his Father.

This was a very fitting metaphorical title to apply to Jesus. Jesus is called the Word of God. Literally speaking, the Words of God are the words spoken by God, that proceed from the mouth of God. Being a metaphor, what Jesus has in common with the the Word is that he learned the Word of God from his Father; he came to earth with a message that was the Word that he brought from His Father; he lived the Word of God; he taught the Word of God and risked his life for the Word of God.

The phrase, “Jesus is the Word of God” is obviously not literal. It is used as a metaphor because of what he was, who he was, and what he did. Jesus and his Father are not one and the same. Continue reading

What the Early Christians Really Believed

The early first century Christians were radically different than what we are taught about them. They had their own gospel and rejected any alterations of the truth and even the letters of Paul. These Jewish Christians held teachings about Jesus and God that were much, much different than those of modern Christianity. The only difference between Jewish Christians and the traditional Jews was that they believed in and practiced the teachings of Jesus… only. Continue reading

Earliest Jewish Believers: Ebionites Part 1

The very first believers in Jesus were not Christians. Christianity was not in existence yet — Christianity was a creation of St Paul. There were many names for these believers, but as Epiphanius writes: “Ebionite was at first… a common name for all Christians” (Epiphanius Adv. Haer., xxix. 1). Continue reading
