QUESTION 168 : While I can readily understand the idea of God (one person) loving me to such an extent as to give his only begotten son (another person whom he loves very much --who came from his own ‘substance’) - even though he eventually got back his son in that he raised him from the dead (Gal 1:1), I find it a bit difficult to see or appreciate the love, if what happened was simply that God – Jesus Christ- who cannot die, appeared as though he were a man, pretend to die and then tells us that ‘In this was manifest the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him’ (1 John 4:9). A number of texts seem to make a distinction between Jesus and “the father,” Example:

1. Dan 7:13,14 -	“The son of man comes to the Ancient of days and receives certain things from him.”
2. John 6:38 -	“Jesus speaks of his will as being separate from the will of the one who sent him.”
3. Matt 26:39,42 -	Jesus asks for release from ‘this cup’ but says to the father, ‘nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt’ – separate wills.
4. John 14: 12 -	Jesus says “I go unto my father”- this suggests separate location at that instant.
5. John 14:28 -	Jesus says “my father is greater than I.” It is a bit difficult for me to see a person being greater or less than himself.
6. John 8:17,18 -	Jesus speaks of two persons bearing witness; himself being one and his father being another.
7. John 5:22 -	Judgment of man will be carried out not by the father but by the son - this speaks of exclusiveness of action.
8. Mark 13:32 -	Of “that day” not even the son knows, only the father – separate knowledge.
9. Mark 15:34 -	“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me.”
10. [ Psalms 2:7-12 -	“…kiss the son lest he be angry…” Apart of it is quoted in Acts 13:33.]
11. [ John 14:23 -	“My father will love him, and we will come unto him” – we suggests more than one.]
12. [ Heb 1:8-12 -	“But unto the Son he saith…”]
13. [ Mic 5:2 -	“Bethlehem …out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.”]

These examples illustrate the concern (God’s Love, Jamaica. Written to me personally after sending them the truth, then shown to Paul Dean at ‘Pentab’ and slightly edited). [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 172 : When you cross-reference Scriptures that show that Jesus is God, you then try to show that Jesus is the Spirit because other verses show that the Holy Spirit is God and you do the same with the Father. Do you see the fallacy in your interpretation? Your thinking runs as follows: 1. Jesus is God. 2. God is the Father 3. Therefore, Jesus is the Father. It is quite easy to do the same thing with any person of the Godhead and form your own belief. This is a logical fallacy. I can do this with apples and oranges. 1. An apple is a fruit. 2. An orange is a fruit. 3. Therefore, an apple is an orange. WRONG! Do you see? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 195 : “If one sends himself, he does not say I send someone, but says I will come. While the Bible states God will come, it differentiates between two persons, the one coming and the one sending.

QUESTION 198 : Oneness apologists claim that John 5:43 shows that "Jesus" is the Father's name and thus that Jesus is the Father. – “Notice that the second part of this verse insinuates that one who comes "in his own name" is not to be "received." If Jesus was actually the Father, which would literally make His name Jesus, then He would have been coming "in His own name" and it would have been wrong to receive Him. This contrast between "My Father's name" and "his own name" proves that Jesus did not come "in his own name." Therefore, "Jesus" is not the Father's name, and Jesus is not the Father. This turns out to be a proof text against oneness theology” (Pastor Roger Griffith of Bosque Farms Assembly of God, joywell.org). Isn’t that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 201 : "In Isaiah 9:6 the Bible says His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Each one of these appellations would be labeled a title by Jesus Only interpreters, but Isaiah's text calls each one a name. This is also the one verse of Scripture in the entirety of God's Word where Jesus Christ is called the Father; and still, somehow, these people are blinded to the fact that the verse actually disproves their theory concerning titles and names, simply because it gives the name of "Father" to Jesus. So I simply ask a question, according to Isaiah, isn't "Wonderful" a name? Isn't "Prince of Peace" a name?" - Jimmy Swaggart. [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 217 : Isaiah 9:6 states, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6). Some commentators prefer to translate "Everlasting Father" literally, as 'Father of eternity'. In accordance with common Old Testament idiom, the owner or possessor of a given thing is named 'father of' it: For example, Abialbon (2 Sam. 23:31), 'father of strength', means 'strong'; Abiasaph (Ex. 6:24), 'father of gathering', means 'gatherer'. As the creator of the Aeons (Hebrews 1:2; 11:3), Jesus is the ‘father of eternity’; thus, it follows that it means he is eternal.” Isn’t that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 236 : One verse reads, "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne" (Revelation 3:21). Seeing that Jesus and the father are the same person and we will see that in the resurrection clearly, does it mean we are also the father? For if Jesus sat down with his father on his throne means they are the selfsame person, then we sitting down on with Jesus on his throne would mean we are the selfsame person as Jesus, or the father. Wouldn't it, hence Jesus is not the father? [Click Here For The Answer]
