What's the Difference Between 'the Father" and God?

Question

If "God" is triune, did Jesus include himself when he used the word "God"? If yes, why Jesus prayed to himself and did not want to be called "good"? If no, why was it not triune for him?

Answer 1

the trinity is totally false. there is God the father and Jesus the son. just like there is you and me. only Jesus felt very close to his father both in thought and action. so much so that he could say "if you have seen me you have seen the father also." in other words, he would imitate his father so well from loving him so much and being around him so much that it would be like seeing the father. just like a human child would literally imitate their father. believe me, if you use what i said here every scripture will make sense. jesus prayed to a father he cared about and did not want to displease. the father spoke to his son to reassure him and comfort him. jesus did not want to take any glory for himself but offered it all to his father. please try this. it makes sense every time.

Answer 2

Those are everlasting questions. But yes Gog is Triune. The Son is the Father. The Father is the Son. The Son is God.
The Father and God in essence they are the same, in His economy The Father is source of everything and God is the creater of everything. The Father gives life and so also the Son gives life.

Answer 3

He did not pray to Himself. He prayed to the Father, Who is also God. And He sent the Holy Spirit, Who is likewise God. Because God is three separate and distinct Persons, any one divine Person can converse with any another.

Answer 4

Jesus normally used "God" for "the Father." It is wrong to say that he did not want to be called "good," however. In the passage He was challenging the rich young man's idea of what good is. He did not follow up "Why do you call me good?" with "Guess what? I'm not!"

However, Jesus did call himself the Son of God. The son of a man is ... a man. The son of a dog is ... a dog. Thus, the son of God is ... God.

Answer 5

The Father is God and Jesus is God. Does that mean that Jesus cannot talk to the Father and call Him God? You talk to another man that calls you "Man" even though you have another name. Just because they are equal in majesty does not mean that they are still three distinct beings.

Answer 6

In heaven, as deity, Jesus was God. He gave up His throne to come to earth as a human. He was physically separated for the Godhead. So it would make perfect sense for Him to refer to only God the Father as good. And He prayed to His Father in heaven, not to himself. Upon His death and resurrection, Jesus was reunited with His Father.

Answer 7

God is the Father and Jesus his son.
He didn't pray to himself read the book.

Answer 8

They're all the same: imaginary.

Answer 9

I am a Christian and I DO NOT worship the trinity or a triune god. I worship the one true God, Jesus Christ. We read in Isaiah 9:6 the following,
"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, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." This the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah about the future birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Note He is called the Mighty God and the Everlasting Father.

John1:1-5 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

In John 8:51-58 Jesus declares to the church leaders the following, " Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."

The Lord God of the Hebrews told Moses that He is the great I AM. Christ declared that He is the I AM. I believe that Jesus is the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in regeneration, but ONE GOD who manifests Himself in three ways. I believe in being baptized in Jesus Name because that formula was commanded on the day of Pentecost by Peter. There are a total of four times in the book of Acts where we read of someone being baptized in or into the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Whe Jesus commanded His disciples to "...go ye therefore into all the earth baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" He was not speaking that formula. Notice He said the NAME not the NAMES. The NAME is that of of the one true God, Jeshua, Yahweh, Jehovah. The NAME that is above all names, Jesus.My Creator, Saviour, and Redeemer. Praise His holy NAME!

Luke2:34 tells us that this child Jesus was chosen by God.. (but isn't He the son of God even b4 creation?)

Not only does John 1:1-4 state, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

We read also in John 8:44-58, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

In this particular passage Jesus himself told the religious leaders that He was God, because He pre-existed Abraham. There is only One who could do this and that was God.

Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ yesterday, today and forever!
