Could Revelations 1:6 be saying god has a father.?

Question

Rev1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Answer 1

The commentary above is right on target. I would suggest you continue your line of questioning. Consider, Revelation is not about world events, or how to stack angels. It is about what happpens in us. The child, is the father of the man in all of us. How can we raise ourselves? How can God raise himself? The answer is Ressurection. The Ressurection was God, is God, and will be God. This is a mystery, worth pursuit.

Answer 2

Revelation Chapter I verse 5&6
All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.He has made us a Kingdom of Priests for God his father.All glory and power to him forever and ever!Amen.
It doesn't say unto God and his Father.It says for his Father.
But God is a trinity.
God the Father
God the Son
And God the Holy Spirit.
He is God alive in perfect harmony and all three are perfectly united by the Holy Spirit as one.
When the Father created his son he gave his son everything.
Everything including his Holy Spirit and his very Nature which is Almighty and Holy.
The name Jesus means 'God saves' which considering what Jesus did for all of humanity is an appropriate name for him.
During the first passover the Hebrews were made safe from the Angel of death by placing the blood of a lamb over the door to their home.
When the angel of death saw the blood it passed over without harming anyone.
But did you know there will also be a second passover?
When we stand before God the Father on Judgement Day he will see the blood of Christ on us and will not judge us because death did not claim us instead the blood washed us clean and made us innocent before God thereby we recieve life eternal.
Read Hebrews chapter 10 verse 16 to find out the new law we live by that was given to us because of God Saves.

Answer 3

Yes, that is exactly what it says and that is exactly what it means. Everybody has a Dad, God included. The Prophet Joseph Smith and other modern Prophets have confirmed this truth. God once was a man like us and He became perfect and became God. We too may become perfect through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and attain all that the Father has, including all of His attributes of perfection and godhood. We will always be His children and we will never be above Him, but biblical study bears out, along with further modern revelation, that God is a perfected man. This is one of the most beautiful concepts imaginable. We have a very real and personal Father in Heaven who wants for us to inherit all that He has. Just as we want our Children to grow in wisdom and stature, so does God want the same for us. Who among us wish for our children to always be less than we are or for them to never attain the levels of wisdom and knowledge that we have attained? God, our Heavenly Father wants us to become like Him and to have all that He has. I love this doctrine! My Father in Heaven has made a way for me to become as He is and to gain all that He has!

Answer 4

Yes. It's an odd expression to call Christ God and then note the Father but Christ Himself also prayed to, and identified His Father in Heaven.

Answer 5

God refers to Christ. And Father is God the Father.

Answer 6

From Mathew Henry commtary on that portion of scripture.There can be no true peace, where there is not true grace; and where grace goeth before, peace will follow. This blessing is in the name of God, of the Holy Trinity, it is an act of adoration. The Father is first named; he is described as the Jehovah who is, and who was, and who is to come, eternal, unchangeable. The Holy Spirit is called the seven spirits, the perfect Spirit of God, in whom there is a diversity of gifts and operations. The Lord Jesus Christ was from eternity, a Witness to all the counsels of God. He is the First-born from the dead, who will by his own power raise up his people. He is the Prince of the kings of the earth; by him their counsels are overruled, and to him they are accountable. Sin leaves a stain of guilt and pollution upon the soul. Nothing can fetch out this stain but the blood of Christ; and Christ shed his own blood to satisfy Divine justice, and purchase pardon and purity for his people. Christ has made believers kings and priests to God and his Father. As such they overcome the world, mortify sin, govern their own spirits, resist Satan, prevail with God in prayer, and shall judge the world. He has made them priests, given them access to God, enabled them to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices, and for these favours they are bound to ascribe to him dominion and glory for ever. He will judge the world. Attention is called to that great day when all will see the wisdom and happiness of the friends of Christ, and the madness and misery of his enemies. Let us think frequently upon the second coming of Christ. He shall come, to the terror of those who wound and crucify him by apostacy: he shall come, to the astonishment of the whole world of the ungodly. He is the Beginning and the End; all things are from him and for him; he is the Almighty; the same eternal and unchanged One. And if we would be numbered with his saints in glory everlasting, we must now willing submit to him receive him, and honour him as a saviour, who we believe will come to be our Judge. Alas, that there should be many, who would wish never to die, and that there should not be a day of judgment!

Answer 7

Yes this means that Jesus Christ is God and the Father in Heaven is God as well and whole point is that they are whole in one. It just depends at how you look at it."My wife Kimona says that the long answer is exactly on point"

In my version it is clear that John speaks of Jesus Christ, and removes the word 'and' between god and his father.
