Jesus Has a God

Did you know that Jesus himself has a God, a Supreme Being, who is Supreme over him?

(Scriptures from the American Standard Version unless stated otherwise.)

Micah 5:4 - And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

Matthew 27:46 - And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Mark 15:34 - And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

John 20:17 - Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

Romans 15:6 - that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.

Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

Ephesians 1:17 - that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

Colossians 1:3 - We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.

1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Revelation 3:2 - Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.

Revelation 3:12 - He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.

Prophetically, Jesus is depicted as referring to the Lord Jehovah as "our God" in Isaiah 61:1,2. He includes himself in "our". He does something similar when he includes himself as a member of the children of Israel and speaks of Jehovah as being the God of the children of Israel. -- Matthew 4:7,10; Luke 4:8,12.

One states, however, that we assume unitarianism. There is not much to assume, since no scripture at any time ever presents any idea that Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is more than one person, etc. The real assumer is the trinitarian, who keeps creating assumption after assumption in order to have their doctrine appear to be supported by scripture.  There is no scriptural reason at all to imagine and assume that the "one God of whom are all" is more than one person. Indeed, he is presented as being only one person in 1 Corinthians 8:6. We have no scriptural reason at all to imagine, assume, add to, and read into, the scriptures that Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is more than one person. The default scriptural reasoning is that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is only one person, not to imagine, assume, add to, and read into, the scriptures that he is more than one person.

From Genesis to Revelation, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:14,15), is presented as only one person who raised up the prophet like Moses from among the sons of Israel, and who raised that prophet from death. (Deuteronomy 18:15-20; Acts 3:13-26; Hebrews 1:1,2) The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not even once presented as being more than one person at all anywhere in the Bible.

Nowhere in the Bible is Jesus presented as being the "one God of whom are all." (1 Corinthians 8:6) Only the God and Father of Jesus is ever presented as being the "one God of whom are all."

Jehovah, the God and Father of Jesus (Ephesians 1:3), is the only one who is the source of all (1 Corinthians 8:6), and hence the only one person who is the Supreme Being, Jehovah is He who anointed and sent Jesus (Isaiah 61:1; John 17:1,3), prepared a body of flesh for Jesus (Hebrews 10:5), and made Jesus a little lower than the angels so that Jesus could offer that body of flesh with its blood to Jehovah his God for our sins. -- Matthew 26:26-28; Luke 22:19; Romans 3:25; Colossians 1:14; Ephesians 5:2; Hebrews 2:9; 9:14; 10:10; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5.

Yes, the default reasoning is that Jesus is not Jehovah, in whose strength and name he stands and feeds the sheep who his God, Jehovah, has given to him. -- Ezekiel 34:2-24; Micah 5:4; John 10:11-17,29; 17:1,3,6,9; Ephesians 1:3.

Blessed be the one person who spoke to and through his prophets of old, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus. -- Hebrews 1:1,2.

It is claimed that if we "do not embrace the Trinity this place [sic] is you outside of the Christian church."

Believing the son of the one person who is the God and Father of Jesus died for our sins, and that the one person who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, raised Jesus from death, even though the trinitarian sectarian leadership may proclaim that those who believe are not part of their created sectarian church, it definitely does not mean that our Lord and Savior and his God does not recognize us as enrolled in heaven as a member of HIS church. -- Acts 3:13-26; Romans 10:9; 14:4; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Hebrews 12:23.

More to be added later, God willing.
