GOD amongst gods...?!
- About John 1:1 -

Starting with the Roman-catholic church all churches have developped a trinity-godhead; justified by trinity-godhead-teachings in which this churchgod consist of three parts or persons.

The fact that:
A>the Gospel contradicts these churchteachings in John 3:16-18, because GOD sent us Jesus ...
B> Jesus contradicts these churchteachings in John 20:17 saying 'his father and GOD is our father and GOD'...
C> The Bible tells us, that Jesus was created by GOD in Psalms 2:7 ...

doesnot stop the churchtheologians, churchleaders, churchspeakers and churchmembers; they continue to teach and preach their self-fabricated godhead-teachings against the Teachings of Christ. They quickly pass the words of Christ and immediately try to deny his words by misusing the translated words of John 1:1 in order to support their fabrications.

The Bible says the following about doctrines not according to the teachings of Christ... :

No time like the present to put John 1:1 under the magnifying-glass with the original Greek Scripture; of course also comparing and examining all other information from the Bible about 'multiple gods'.


John 1:1 - The Word was with 'the Highest God'?!
Churches and their theologians/translaters have translated the Scriptures in the direction of their churchteachings; in that way supporting their fabrications. Underneath you will find a very important and relevant example of such translating-methods:

In Joh 1:1 it says 'that the Word was with GOD and was GOD'.Still: the original Greek Scripture says something quite different...

What everyone can gather from the Scriptures under strongnumbers <3588> and <2316> is, that should be translated 'was with the Highest GOD' instead of 'was with GOD'.

Moreover: the part that says 'was God' clearly misses 'Ho' before the mentioned 'Theos', which tells us that the correct translation of that part should be: 'was God' only. Clearly The Word -meaning Jesus- is not (equal to) the most High GOD. Evidently there are 'multiple gods', but also 1 Most High GOD!

About the Most High GOD and His gods
The Bible makes it unmistakebly clear, that there indeed are multiple gods, but also makes it very clear that there is one Most High GOD over all.

Not only the Old Testament speaks of 'multiple gods' on several places, but also the New Testament does:

1Cor8:5

In the following verse - 1Cor 8:6 - a restriction is added to that multitude of gods in Heaven:

1Cor8:6

Clearly we are told there are indeed many gods, but amongst them there is only 1 GOD ánd 1 Lord called Jesus Christ.

Also John 1:2 shows the difference between GOD and Jesus
The original Greek Scripture also backs-up in John 1:2 what already was concluded from John 1:1; the same difference between Jesus and GOD can be found there as well. The Word was with 'Ho Theos' says the Scripture; Jesus was with the Most High GOD. Again the translated Bible doesnot say that...

Evidently the church-translaters/theologians have done their utmost to hide 'the Most High'- part from us, so they could establish a 'multiple-persons-trinity-churchgod' instead of 1 GOD ánd 1 Lord according to 1Cor8:6 and John 20:17...

'Multiple gods'; isn't that 'blasphemy'?!?!
When the Bible speaks about 'multiple gods in Heaven' and about 'GOD being in the midst of gods', it cannot be a blasphemy at all; not even when the Bible says in Exodus 20, that 'there is only one GOD'.

The restriction of keeping the Commandments of GOD concerns, that there is only 1 GOD you may worship as your GOD; also being the Creator. And equal restriction is made in 1Cor8:6 in which we are taught there is only 1 GOD, but also 1 Lord (=the High Priest before GOD = Jesus Christ).

All Heavenly creatures are called 'gods or lords', what actually is quite right too, because they are eternally living persons, meaning 'devine creatures', because they are connected to the One Eternal GOD in Heaven. Amongst the creatures in Heaven is also Jesus, so it is right from that perspective to call Jesus 'a god' too.

Also biblical Christians are connected to GOD after the laying on of hands after they have become a temple in Christ after the baptism; so they may be called 'gods' as well. It is simply what the Gospel is all about!

John 10:33-36 clearly shows that not only the current churchpriests and churchmembers have difficulties with the fact there are multiple gods and children of GOD, but also the Jewish priests and the Jews had major difficulties with that; they even wanted to stone Jesus, because they thought Jesus made himself equal to GOD, but Jesus didnot do that at all!

Jesus does the opposite of making hmiself equal to GOD, because he teaches and says:

Also Jesus says plainly in John 14:28 the following:
' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.'

In short: Jesus NEVER made himself equal to GOD at all. Also he didnot claim to be the Most High GOD either; simply because his father is his Most High GOD (John 20:17) and his Most High GOD is in command over him (John 12:49). GOD sent us Jesus the Gospel says...

GOD works through all His Children by means of His Spirit and in that 'Spiritual-working-connection' His Children (amongst them Jesus!) become one with GOD, but certainly not equal to GOD and not the person called Eternal GOD either!
