Jesus Christ the Father
Jesus Christ (Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ יהוה Yahweh Mashiyak)[1] as God the Father is a theological subject that turns up in the minority nontrinitarian branches of Christianity, which include Oneness Pentecostal denominations such as the United Pentecostal Church.[2] This viewpoint is to be distinguished from the non-trinitarian Christian heresies such as Unitarians, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, which believe that Christ is not God.[3]
In the Bible[edit]
One of the New Testament's quotes supporting the doctrine that Jesus Christ is God the Father is found in the Gospel of John:
"I and the Father are one."
The Jewish Messiah is mentioned in the Old Testament Book of Isaiah using the adjective Father:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
History[edit]
The early Christian Church saw Christ as not only a member of the Godhead, but the Creator himself appearing as a man.[4] Scholars refer to this type of supernatural phenomenon as a Theophany. [5][6]
Those who believe in Jesus Christ the Father accuse the Roman Catholic Church of pushing the Trinity despite textual evidence to the contrary.[7][8]
They believe that later Greek platonic pagan influence distorted the early church's view of Christ into the more popular trinitarian model which is subscribed to by most branches of Christianity today.[9] In the trinitarian branches, Christ is seen as a coeternal person distinct from the Father, rather than being the Father himself.[10]
In the few modern branches of Christianity where Christ is worshiped as God the Father, speaking in tongues and miraculous healings are often reported.[11][12][13]
