The Old Testament prophesied
concerning Christ:
Psalms 45:7
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest
wickedness:
therefore God, thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Jesus was aware of this fact and
made no secret of it.
Before his death he prayed to the
Father as his God:
Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?
After his resurrection he bore
witness to the apostles that the Father was his God:
John 20:17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I
am not yet ascended to my Father:
but go to my brethren, and say unto them,
I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
After his ascension to the right
hand of the Father he made mention of the Father as his God 4 times in one
verse!
Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar
in the temple of my God,
and he shall go no more out: and
I will write upon him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which
cometh down out of heaven from my God:
and I will write upon him my new
name.
In short although Jesus is God’s
Son by begetting and the church are God’s sons by adoption through Christ (See link: ‘Jesus- the Son of God),
Our relationship with the Father is
the same as his
though we differ in office, honour
and glory.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
is also the God of this Jesus of Nazareth:
Ephesians 1:17
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:
2 Corinthians 11:31
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
Ephesians 1:3
¶Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ:
1 Peter 1:3
¶Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
That God the Father is the God of
Jesus the Son entails the following:
Joshua 22:22
The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods,
he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if
it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this
day,)
That Jesus cannot possibly be The
Most High God
Psalms 57:2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
Psalms 82:6
¶I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you
are children of the most High.
Isaiah 44:6
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 there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5
¶I am the LORD, and there is none else, there
is no God beside me:
I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?
have not I the LORD?
and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour;
there is none beside me.
John 14:28
¶Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come again unto you.
If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is
greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
It therefore flies in the face of
scripture to claim either:
1
that the Son of God is God
Almighty
2
that they are co-equal and
co-majestic.
One is the God of the other,
therefore the other cannot be God Almighty:
1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the
Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus;
