God has a god.

[Checkpoint]

Scriptures tell us that God the Father is the God of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Anyone who has a god is not, by definition, God.

Therefore, Jesus Christ is not the one true God.

God the Father has no god.

He is therefore, by definition, God Himself, the only true God.

What say you?

Jesus is God, Why? Because His Father is God. Just like you and me are human, and or child also is human. Jesus is not THE GOD, HE IS THE GOD SON. The book of John also confirms that Jesus is God. John 1:1......

God (Almighty God the Creator YHWH) has no God, as he is supreme ruler of the universe.

Jesus (who identified himself as the SON of God) does if scriptures are to be believed have a God.

It is an anthropomorphism. That part of Adonai that was manifest in human form is Yeshua and was restricted to human capabilities. Before and after that, Yeshua is spoken of in a father/son relationship to provide us with a way having a limited understanding of the nature of Adonai, which is beyond our understanding.

John 1:1 does not say Jesus is God.

It says the logos WAS God.

The First Source is GOD in that all that is, derives from The First Source.

No consciousness within form is GOD, but can represent The First Source as an aspect of The First Source consciousness within form.

The further into density aspects of The First Source consciousness divests itself, the more likely it is that those aspects of The First Source consciousness lose sight of the true nature of The First Source.

We are extremely deep within the density and thus have lost sight of the true nature of The First Source and are confused by duality.

Individuals such as Yeshua - through willful determination - come to understand the true nature of The First Source, and pass this information on.

Those who - through willful determination - apply themselves to this quest also come to understand the true nature of The First Source, and pass this information on.

Essentially, we are all aspects of The First Source, and some of us are remembering that and aligning ourselves with that realization.

That in itself is the true idea of 'Worship.' Worship has nothing to do with coin or ritual or sacred spaces, thrones, idols, symbols, books, et al.

Worship - in truth - has to do with aligning ourselves through willful determination with the realization that we are all aspects of The First Source Consciousness and learning to understand the true nature of The First Source, and passing this information on through everything we externalize into the physical universe.

Yeshua was and is a unique individual, who passed on a unique message, the good news of the kingdom of God.

He would call your information that of the voice of a stranger, and says his sheep do not listen to the voice of strangers.

Excellent, Checkpoint, and irrefutable. I think that if anyone objects to these Scriptures they are grasping at straws, petrified of going against family traditions, friends' displeasure, etc., and certainly no concrete reasons. These are clear, understandable statements, where no "mystery" need be referred to.

John 1:1 is translated differently than any other Scripture that has a noun without a definite article, which this verse also has. Do some research on John 1:1. A good place to start might be Professor Jason BeDuhn's book Truth in Translation, pp.113-133.

In the beginning existed the Word, and the Word existed with the God, and the Word was a god.

Jesus is not God, except in some twisted versions of the scriptures. In addition to my post above, which I trust you carefully regarded, I would like to post the website for some excellent information on John 1:1:
