GOD: The God ánd Father of Jesus
The Bible clearly tells us -by statements in it of Jesus and the apostles- who GOD is. Still: I am under the impression that most churchmembers -because of their 'trintity-god-teaching'- do not read their Bibles at all. If they would read their Bibles they would immediately step away from this teaching, because what God says through HIS WORD goes above all words or teachings!

Who GOD is according to the Bible? Please read with me:

GOD IS:


John 20:17 - According to Jesus: his GOD and Father, but also our GOD and Father
'I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God'.

Efeze 1:17 - The God ánd Father of Jesus
' I pray 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'.

1 Peter 1:3-5 - The GOD ánd Father of Jesus; GOD resurrected Jesus from the dead!
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, unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

John 4:24 - Spirit
'God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."’

John 17:3 - The Person that sent Jesus to us
[Jesus says:] 'And this is life eternal: that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.'.

Hebrews 8:1 - The Majesty in Heaven
'Now of the things of which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such a High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens'.

1 Corinthians 11:3 - The head/leader of Christ
'But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.'.

Philippians 2:9-11 - The Person that has given Jesus a name above all names
'Therefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. '.

Hebrews 1:8-9 The Person that anointed Jesus and therefor calls Jesus 'his God'...
'Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows'.

1 Cor 15:28 The One that Jesus will be subjected to
'And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.'.


ONE True GOD (The Father) AND one High Priest (the Son of GOD) before this GOD...
Of course the Bible says much more about GOD, but from these Bible-verses we learn that there actually only ONE GOD, who is also GOD over Jesus; just like GOD is our GOD as well.

So there is no 'trinity-god' or 'trinity-godhead' at all! Our Bible tells us there is only ONE TRUE GOD ánd a High Priest before this GOD: Jesus. Jesus has been given devine powers; still with that powers Jesus is our High Priest; not our GOD, because there is only ONE GOD: The Father of Jesus.

1 Cor 8:5-6 tells it very clearly:
'For though there be what are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we in Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things, and we by Him.'.

So the Bible tells and learns us: there is ONE GOD ánd ONE HIGH PRIEST before this GOD
