[UPDATED] JESUS IN CONTEXT – PART 2: THE GODHEAD
(Three Gods? One God? Who’s Lying? The Bible’s Unfiltered Truth on the Father, Son & Spirit)
In Part 1, we established that the Bible—confirmed by manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls—remains unchanged and wholly reliable...
Building on this trust, we now examine the Godhead (Father, Son & Spirit) purely from Scripture, affirming Sola Scriptura (2 Timothy 3:15-17) as OUR only authority...
Let us set the stage [I don’t want any excuses now…]
100% Biblical Only, ready?...
2 Timothy 3:15-17 – “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God… that the man of God may be complete.”
We rely solely on Scripture for this series—no councils, no post-biblical creeds—letting the Bible interpret itself (Isaiah 28:10). Numbers 23:19 and Malachi 3:6 attest God’s unchanging truth, so when all passages are considered, contradictions vanish.
No Reliance on Later Councils
While historical church councils attempted to define the Godhead, 2 Timothy 2:14 warns against “vain disputes.” We use all of Scripture, not extrabiblical tradition, to uncover the nature of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(It's not that we are against creeds or councils and tradition; they have their place, but the Bible is VETO… should the two ever contradict, we do not want any confusion or excuses on this matter. For that reason, and as per the biblical principle, it is strictly Sola Scriptura—Bible only.)
___________
The Godhead: One Essence, Three Distinct Persons
The God of the Bible Is One God…
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”
James 2:19 – Even demons acknowledge monotheism.
Yet the same Bible presents Father, Son, and Holy Spirit sharing one divine essence. Biblical monotheism underpins all theology: the Lord our God is one. This is not a contradiction but a consistent witness of God’s [unity and distinction].
__________
So what about this “Trinity” vs. “Godhead” I keep hearing my Christian friends talk about?
Term “Trinity”: Not in Scripture verbatim, but so is “Millennium” or “Bible.” The key is whether the text teaches one God existing as Father, Son, and Spirit eternally—not whether the term itself appears.
Term “Godhead”: Found in Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:9—referring to God’s divine nature and is the more correct biblical terminology.
Key Point: Matthew 28:19 speaks of baptizing in the name (singular) of Father, Son, and Spirit, affirming co-unity.
(Did you get that or did you miss it?.. Pay attention…)
The Significance of “Name” in Matthew 28:19
“Go… baptizing them in the name [Greek: ὄνομα (o-no-ma), singular] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Singular “Name” – Emphasizes one divine essence; “names” (plural) would imply multiple gods. (Notice in your Bible it doesn’t have the “s.”)
Biblical Usage – “Name” conveys authority, identity (Exodus 3:14, Isaiah 42:8).
Old Testament Parallels – God’s name in Deuteronomy 12:5, Psalm 54:1 underscores His presence and power; the Father, Son, and Spirit share that same unified name.
(Did you check it against the Bible? Are you still breathing?... It’s okay, allow the Bible to interpret itself, as per the biblical principle… Let us continue…)
__________
TIME TO ADDRESS SATANS STRATEGY GAMEPLAY REGARDING THIS HERESY…
Deception 1: Modalism (Sabellianism)
Claim: Father, Son, and Spirit are modes of one Person.
Bible refutes it by:
Matthew 3:16-17 – All three appear simultaneously.
John 17:5 – Jesus prays about glory with the Father before creation.
John 1:1 – “The Word was with God and was God.” (More than two mentioned in the verse.)
Deception 2: Tritheism
Claim: Three separate gods.
Bible refutes it by:
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “The LORD… is one.”
John 10:30 – “I and My Father are one.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 – One Spirit, one Lord, one God; three Persons, one essence.
Deception 3: Partialism
Claim: Father, Son, Spirit each form only a part of God.
Bible refutes it by:
Colossians 2:9 – “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead.”
John 1:1 – The Word was God, not a fraction.
Acts 5:3-4 – The Holy Spirit is explicitly called God.
Deception 4: Subordinationism
Claim: Son and Spirit are lesser in nature than the Father. (In other words, Jesus and the Spirit are not as important as God the Father…)
Bible refutes this in:
Philippians 2:6 – Jesus is equal with God, though He humbled Himself functionally.
Hebrews 1:3 – The Son is the “express image” of the Father’s essence.
John 10:30 – Unity, not inferiority.
1 Corinthians 2:10-11 – The Spirit searches the deep things of God, indicating equal divinity.
(Have you noticed a trend yet?... You didn’t think we were done, right? Far from it—take notes, class is in session! (tongue in cheek chill...)
Where the confusion lies…
Some aren’t aware that Jesus came to this world as GOD, implying He existed elsewhere. We need to establish Jesus’ role in the biblical narrative. (It’s okay if you don’t understand—just follow along and pray for the Spirit to give you understanding…)
__________
JESUS ROLE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE INCARNATION
(“Incarnation” means the bodily, physical human form of the Messiah—Jesus…)
Jesus BEFORE the Incarnation
The Word (Logos) – Eternal Voice of God (John 1:1, Genesis 15:1)
The Angel of the LORD – Christ in OT Theophanies (theo - God, Phanies to appear) (Exodus 3:2-6, Judges 13:18-22)
The Rock of Salvation – Christ as Source of Life (Psalm 18:2, 1 Corinthians 10:4)
The Commander of the LORD’s Army – Divine Warrior (Joshua 5:13-15)
The Son (Messianic King) – Enthroned by the Father (Psalm 2:7, Hebrews 1:5)
The Branch (Tsemach) – Messianic King-Priest (Zechariah 6:12, Isaiah 11:1)
The Everlasting Father – Christ’s Divine Nature (Isaiah 9:6)
The Messiah (Anointed One) – Prophesied Deliverer (Isaiah 61:1, Daniel 9:25-26, Luke 4:18-21)
JESUS DURING the Incarnation (Fun fact: the name “Jesus” was given to Him only when He became human.)
Philippians 2:6-8 – Though in God’s form, Christ humbled Himself to redeem humanity.
Luke 22:42, John 5:19 – His submission is functional, never a statement of inferiority (John 10:18).
Jesus AFTER the Resurrection
Matthew 28:18 – “All authority” is given to Christ. (Note: The Father—God—gives ALL authority to Jesus.)
John 17:5 – He returns to the glory shared with the Father.
1 Corinthians 15:28 – He hands the Kingdom to the Father, showing unity, not a lesser nature.
(Bible seems crystal clear on this… Jesus’ incarnational or human humility, or to put it simply, He chose not to tap into His God abilities while on earth, relying instead on the Father. That does NOT mean He was lesser…)
SO JESUS = GOD?... THE BIBLE JUST PROVED IT!
What about the Holy Spirit? Could He be God too?
Let’s explore His Personhood and Deity via the Living Word.
__________
The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
Genesis 1:2 – The Spirit hovers at creation.
Numbers 11:25-29 – Empowers leaders.
Psalm 51:11 – “Do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
Isaiah 63:10 – The Spirit can be grieved.
Ezekiel 36:27 – Enables obedience.
The New Testament Clarity on the Spirit
Acts 5:3-4 – Lying to the Spirit = lying to God.
John 16:13-14 – He “speaks,” “guides,” “glorifies” Christ.
Romans 8:11 – Raises believers from death (…wait, what?).
Ephesians 4:30 – He can be grieved, reaffirming personhood, not a force.
(So, based on the Bible, the Holy Spirit is clearly mentioned. Is the Holy Spirit relevant? Isn’t it all about Jesus and the Father?)
THE SPIRIT'S ROLE IN REDEMPTION & SANCTIFICATION IS KEY TO YOUR SALVATION, MY FRIENDS...
Applying Christ’s Atonement
John 16:7-11 – Convicts of sin, righteousness, judgment, guiding souls to Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:11 – “You were washed, sanctified… by the Spirit of our God,” enacting Christ’s work in believers.
Titus 3:5 – Regeneration and renewal by the Spirit, making salvation real for you.
(Do not glaze over this. WITHOUT the Holy Spirit, salvation isn’t applied or ACTIVATED.)
Sealing & Empowering
Ephesians 1:13-14 – The Spirit seals believers as God’s own.
Romans 8:11 – The Spirit who raised Christ will raise us too.
Galatians 5:22-23 – Produces fruit in believers, transforming them internally.
Yes, the Bible states it plainly: The Holy Spirit is fully God—eternally co-equal with Father and Son—convicting, sealing, and empowering believers daily.
__________
THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION, THE GODHEAD WORKS TOGETHER
Creation
Genesis 1:1-2 – The Spirit hovers.
John 1:3 – The Son made all things.
Job 33:4 – The Spirit gives life.
Redemption
John 3:16 – The Father sends the Son.
1 Peter 1:2 – The Spirit sanctifies.
Hebrews 9:14 – Christ offers Himself through the Spirit.
Resurrection of Christ
John 2:19 – Jesus raises Himself.
Galatians 1:1 – The Father raises Jesus.
Romans 8:11 – The Spirit raises Him.
Indwelling Believers
John 14:16-23 – The Father and Son send the Spirit to dwell within.
Revelation 14:6-7 - SEE UPDATED section after FAQ
(Is this a slam dunk for the Living Word of God again?...)
Based on the biblical texts, each Person of the Godhead participates in these divine works, affirming one essence, distinct persons.
__________
KEY TEXT MANY MISUSE TO DISPROVE JESUS DEITY: “THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I” (JOHN 14:28)
Jesus’ statement reflects incarnational humility, not permanent inferiority:
Philippians 2:6-7 – Jesus, though equal with God, “emptied Himself” for humanity’s sake.
Matthew 28:18 – Post-resurrection, He wields “all authority,” negating any idea of lesser status.
John 5:18 – He claims equality with God, clarifying that “greater” references role, not essence.
__________
Here’s another freebie…
do you recall when the devil tempted Jesus to turn the rock to bread (first temptation), to command the angels of heaven to catch Him should He jump (2nd temptation), and yet He is our example? (Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13)
Have you ever wondered why?...
I mean, unless you know someone in existence that has those abilities, I think it is universally clear, Jesus or not, but any deity with that ability would and should be considered God...
I did mention the James text earlier that even the demons acknowledge Jesus is God, and yet we have some who have only existed as human beings, who claim otherwise, even above these spiritual entities?
What would be more tempting to Jesus, to eat a burger or to use a POWER to turn the rock into a burger...
Interesting if you ask me, and one of the clearest indicators that Jesus was clearly tempted, just like us...
Everyone is tempted by something, what might be hard for one, is easier for another, and that is the point I am making. Jesus, is God, and is not below the Father in status but is on equal level and authority.

Anyways let us continue if you disagree or you're in the “let’s all stay together” Al Green gravy train heading to a very hot place, well, I’m jumping off into my own lane, you are welcome to join me and countless others otherwise I can’t help ya,..
I mean, I’m really trying but you refuse to put your bias aside and I’m not in the business of issuing baby dummies, but I can offer you some retorts to consider (“there there my child, there there”) just playing …
Ok, enough gravy and hot plates and nappies, let's move along now shall we…

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Common Objections
If Jesus is God, why did He pray to the Father?
Incarnational function (Luke 22:42), never denying unity (John 10:30).
John 17:3: Father is ‘only true God’—excludes Jesus?
John 1:1, Colossians 2:9 prove Jesus shares divine essence.
If the Holy Spirit is God, why not ‘God the Holy Spirit’?
Acts 5:3-4 calls Him God. Scripture doesn’t need that exact phrase to confirm deity.
Isn’t ‘Trinity’ a Catholic invention?
Biblical texts (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14) predate Catholic labels, revealing the Godhead.
Does Proverbs 8 say Jesus is created?
It personifies wisdom; John 1:1 clarifies Christ is eternal, not created.
If God is one, why say Jesus is ‘begotten’?
Monogenēs means “unique, one-of-a-kind,” not “created” (John 3:16, Hebrews 1:5).
John 14:28 => Jesus is inferior?
Functional humility (Philippians 2:7). All authority restored post-resurrection (Matthew 28:18).
1 Corinthians 8:6 => only the Father is God?
Paul reaffirms monotheism but identifies Christ as divine Lord (John 1:1).
If the Spirit is a Person, why neuter pronouns?
Greek grammar aside, He speaks, teaches, is grieved (John 16:13-14, Ephesians 4:30).
Is the ‘Angel of the LORD’ Jesus?
OT passages (Exodus 3:2-6, Judges 13:18-22) show a Divine Messenger, aligning with Christ’s pre-incarnate role.
__________
A quick Mention on Matthew 28:19’s Manuscript Evidence
Some argue Matthew 28:19 is a later addition:
Earliest Greek manuscripts (Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus) consistently contain it.
Didache (AD 70–110) references baptism “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
No credible basis exists to remove the verse. Verified by historical documents and scholarly research.

UPDATED SECTION 🔥
GODHEAD IN END-TIME PROPHECY :
The Three Angels Message You Can't Afford To Ignore In 2025 And Beyond.
__________
1. The First Angel’s Message: The Everlasting Gospel and Worship of the Creator
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.’” (Revelation 14:6-7)
The Everlasting Gospel – The Father initiates salvation (John 3:16), the Son accomplishes it (John 19:30), and the Holy Spirit applies it (John 16:8, Titus 3:5).
“Fear God and give glory to Him” – A direct call to recognize the one true God, which, in biblical monotheism, includes the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
“Him who made heaven and earth” – References Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1-3, attributing creation to Christ, while the Spirit of God is also active at creation (Genesis 1:2).
In this first angel’s message, the call for worship is centered on the true and living God—not a singular “mode” or separate deities, but the Godhead operating in unity.
Might I add this is biblical, continue…
__________
2. The Second Angel’s Message: The Fall of Babylon
“And another angel followed, saying, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’” (Revelation 14:8)
Babylon represents religious confusion (Genesis 11:9, Revelation 17:5), distorting the correct understanding of God’s nature.
False doctrines—including denying the deity of Christ or the Holy Spirit—stem from Babylon’s deceptive influence.
Rejecting the biblical Godhead characterizes a central error in Babylon’s “wine,” as many anti-Trinitarian teachings arise from doctrinal confusion tied to Babylon’s legacy.
Hence, rejecting the Godhead is not a minor doctrinal difference but part of Babylon’s corruption of the true gospel.
Once again biblical and no outside interference or additional supporting texts, continue…
__________
3. The Third Angel’s Message: The Mark of the Beast vs. the Seal of God
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God…’” (Revelation 14:9-10)
The mark of the beast signifies false worship, ultimately a rejection of the true God.
The seal of God represents worshiping the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:30 confirms that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit; denying His divinity equates to embracing a counterfeit worship system.
John 4:24 – True worship must be “in spirit and truth,” involving the Holy Spirit, not just Father and Son.
If the seal of God is tied directly to the Holy Spirit’s work (Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22), rejecting the Spirit’s deity places one in alignment with the beast’s deception—a form of Babylonian apostasy.
Wait, am I reading this right, MARK OF THE BEAST DANGER ALERT?...
You read it yourselves, oh, and Sola Scriptura, Bible ONLY!!
Are you realising why we said no excuses earlier…
__________
Final Eulogy on the Matter: The Godhead in the Three Angels’ Messages
In Revelation 14, these three messages call humanity to true worship while warning against Babylon’s doctrines:
The Father is exalted as Creator.
The Son stands at the core of the everlasting gospel.
The Holy Spirit seals and sanctifies believers.
Thus, Scripture itself shows the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—present in the Three Angels’ Messages.
Understanding this biblical truth is central to avoiding end-time deception and receiving God’s seal, rather than the mark of the beast.
__________
One more freebie (feeing like a talk show host the way I'm handing these out, sheesh) anyways…
The Mark of the Beast is not a microchip, or a tattoo or an economic system (although, economy, government power and religious power is the threefold deception last play, but that is another post), but just understand, it is based on WORSHIP and WHOM you worship…
Quoting Bible not my words...
Stop losing your marbles over Covid Jabs, Digital IDs, Elons Neurolink and A.I Tech industries, those may have or play into the ultimate factions of the "Thus Saith the Lord" and the "Thus Saith the Ruling Parties" in the end times, but ultimately it is a matter of WORSHIP.
Read it for yourselves, and stop jumping to conclusions. We told you to leave your bias at the door and allow the Spirit of Truth to lead you to where it wants you to go…
Similar to what I am doing right now actually, hence the reason for this final update, which hours after posting I’m convicted to add to the post.
__________
So there you have it folks, the Living Word of God has spoken (John 1:1 FYI factcheckers, also known as the bible, Sola Scriptura)
__________
Well, where does that leave us or leave you, bruv?
Other than standing here like a deer in the headlights—pants down, fully exposed—if you’re an anti-Trinitarian, an “I reject Jesus as God” enthusiast...
Or just a casual “Jesus is a really nice guy but not divine” poser who says He’s only a prophet but not God… well, the Bible, the manuscripts, and the historical evidence say otherwise.
THEREFORE....
Jesus in Context—The Godhead Must Stand
Fact 100%... verified: The Father, the Son, The Holy Spirit is God!
When we see Jesus in context, we recognize Him as eternally one with the Father and Holy Spirit—co-equal, co-eternal. Sola Scriptura reveals one God in three Persons, each fully involved in creation, redemption, resurrection, and the believer’s sanctification...
Rejecting Christ’s full deity or the Holy Spirit’s personhood isn’t a minor difference; it’s a denial of God’s own Word across Old and New Testaments...
__________
Embracing the Bible’s clear testimony means submitting to the entire counsel of God, not cherry-picking verses or traditions.
(Did you read our post on how to let the Bible interpret itself? If not, do yourself a favor—put aside bias and check it out. Read it for yourselves; don’t take our word for it.)
__________
Call us out on it if you disagree, happy to make public apologies if you can present it otherwise, happy to be invited on to podcasts and platforms if you feel that this is incorrect and would like to challenge it publicly, but word to the wise….
Bring receipts, because in this Gospel game, the players are playing for keeps, souls are on the line and time is fleeting…
The Bible has warned for centuries. Many walked away in disappointment, thinking they’d never see these things fulfilled, yet prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in 2025...
Many with spiritual eyes open saw it coming. Stay safe—times are changing fast. Choose you this day whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15).
I’ve offered Jesus, and I offer Him to you once again, He is the surest thing in this tumultuous timeline we are merging into (for those in the know…see what we done there, let’s see if the unlazy youngin will follow the crumbs) but, don’t let the thing, become the thing…
Remember, none of that compares to Christ’s salvation!
Those who had access to this information tried to keep it from the masses, but the Spirit is preparing and calling workers for the great awakening that's coming…
Salvation is not unto the Caesar’s; it’s unto God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit alone.
Wake up and make your move, the chessboard is changing, strategize accordingly and pivot before it is too late…
Because it will be 10x harder to do so, in the midst of chaos and drama, and the world as you knew it begins changing at a faster rate than you can pull your pants back up (calm down, it’s a Winston quote)
Peace and Love

In the Next Installment (Part 3): “The Perfection Trap: Finding Salvation with No Mediator?”
We will examine how the dangerous teaching of sinless perfectionism corrupts the gospel message...
Is it possible to achieve salvation without Christ as our Mediator? Does the Bible teach that we must become “perfect” to be saved, or is this a man-made distortion of salvation?
Get ready as we break down the deception, expose the burden of self-righteousness, and bring it all back to what Scripture actually teaches—because if we could save ourselves, Jesus died for nothing (Galatians 2:21).
A crucial topic to grasp in the ongoing Jesus in Context series.
