Isaiah 44:6 - "Thus says the LORD...
there is no God but me."
Isaiah 45:5 - "I am the LORD and there is no other, there is
no God besides me."
Isaiah 45:6 - "Men may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD,
there is no other."
We all know that God the Son has a Father (God the Father). But the question that must be asked and answered is: can God the Son have a God? Every pastor that I have ever asked this question to has always said "Of course not!" But is that the answer given in Scripture? No, on the contrary. As you will see, the prophesied Messiah in the Old Testament is said to have a God. Then you will see that Jesus the Messiah fulfills those prophesies because he most definitely has a God. If you come to the conclusion that Jesus has a God, then it might be time to rethink and research the Doctrine of the Trinity.
Because if God the Son has a God, then there are TWO GODS!
To make this as simple as possible, I am not going to list the huge amount of Scriptures which have God (not "Father") and Jesus in the same sentence, or Scriptures that have God speaking to Jesus, or Jesus speaking to God.
We will only be concerned with Scriptures that prove that Jesus has a God.
OLD TESTAMENT MESSIANIC PROPHESIES
Psalm 89:26-28 - "He (the Messiah) shall say of me. "You are my father, my God, my rock, my savior". And I will make him the firstborn."
Micah 5:3-4 - "
He (the Messiah) shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD, in the Majestic name of the LORD, his God."
Psalm 22:10-11 -
"To you I was committed at birth. From my mother’s womb you are my God."
NEW TESTAMENT
Jesus Speaking:
John 20:17 -
"I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."
Matthew 27:46 -
"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
Revelation 3:12 -
"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God."
Revelation 3:2 -
"for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God."
Paul:
Ephesians 1:3 -
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 1:17 - "
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father..."
2 Corinthians 1:3 -
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 11:31 - "
The God and Father
of the Lord Jesus Christ knows, He who is blessed forever, that I do not lie."
Peter:
1 Peter 1:3 - "Blessed be
the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ."
John:
Revelation 1:6 -
"To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father."
When one reads the preceding verses, there is one thing that is a fact. That Jesus Christ has a God. Jesus speaks of his God, Peter Paul and John mention the God of Jesus Christ.
So why do we never hear a sermon or anything else on the God of Jesus Christ? The reason is that people who believe in the Trinity cannot explain this obvious fact. They have absolutely no explanation for it. They claim that God the Son cannot have a God because that would mean that there are two Gods.
But there it is in black and white. Jesus has a God.
"Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (John 17:3).
Jesus’ own words.
