The Father: The Only True God?

Post by Spiritblade Disciple »

The Father: The Only True God?

John 17:1-3 King James Version
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: As Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent."

True of False:
The Father is the only true God?

He Godhead. The Father, the Word, the Holy Spirit. These three are one, they agree in all things.


Galatians 4: 16, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Good to hear from you Ironman. :shock:

Do you believe that the Father is the Only True God?

Jesus WAS the Word.
It was the Word that was God.
As Jesus was no longer the Word after putting on skin and bones, He also gave up being God.
He will again be God when all things are subdued unto Him..."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." (1 Cor 15:28)

That's an interesting take.
In my mind, that's definitely different from what I normally hear, but I can sort of see how that could make sense. Though, it raises questions regarding whether or not there are any scriptures that suggest an alternative conclusion.

Here's one...
When God is finally all in all, does that mean that everything will be God at that time?

I'm not sure anything but that Jesus will be in the "all in all" of 1 Cor 15:28.
Do you feel there is more going to be added than Jesus to that "all in all" ?
Like, perhaps, us ?
I can see us being one with God and Christ, in the sense that the liver is one with the body and all its other organs.
But God the Father will always be pre-eminent.

By the way, Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas, Hill Top.

See John 17.
Jesus prayed that believers would all be one. One in the same sense that Jesus and the Father are one. One with one another and one with Jesus and the Father.

Sounds like God will be all in all, to me.
