Who was Jesus praying to?

Matt 15:29- And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
30- And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,
31- so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Notice they didn't glorify Jesus- but 'The God of Israel"?
They knew who gave Jesus that power & authority!
 
Matt 16:26- What good will it be for you to gain the whole world, yet forfeit your soul? Or what can you give in exchange for your soul?
27- For the son of man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward everyone according to what they have done.

Notice Jesus says he will come with his FATHER'S glory & Angels?
The Trinity will never come!
 
Matthew 21:33- Hear another parable~
A man who owned some land planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it. He dug a pit for a winepress in it. He also built a lookout tower.
He rented the vineyard out to some farmers. Then he went away on a journey....
34- When harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the renters. He told the servants to collect his share of the fruit.
35- But the renters grabbed his servants. They beat one of them. They killed another. They threw stones at the third to kill him.
36- Then the man sent other servants to the renters. He sent more than he did the first time. The renters treated them the same way.
37- Last of all, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said.
38- But the renters saw the son coming. They said to each other, 'This is the one who will receive all the owner's property someday.
Come, let's kill him. Then everything will be ours.'
39- So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard. Then they killed him.
40- When the owner of the vineyard comes back, what will he do to those renters?

The "Man who owned some Land" didn't come; He sent his son!
When He does return- He will do so in Fury- thus "the Day of Fury" referred to in the Bible!
Back to the subject: NOTHING in the Bible says God came in the flesh
(altho He became "manifest" or KNOWN in the flesh, thru Jesus)- everywhere it tells us He sent His Only-Begotten Son!

The Churches rejects that with passion!
 
Matt 20: 23- Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

No "Co-Equality" seen here, as well.
His Father- his GOD- has ULTIMATE authority!
No Ghost is mentioned, either.

Just WHERE is the 'Trinity' in Jesus; teaching???
 
After foretelling the things that would happen in the Last Days, he said-

Matt 24:36- But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the son, but the Father only.

No Co-equal 'Trinity'...
The Father is the One True God- Jehovah, the God of Jesus Christ!
 
Matt 26:63- But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the son of God.
64- Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65- Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
66- what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

Jesus doesn't say he will be or IS Almighty- but, instead, "sitting at the Right Hand of Power".
A meaningless statement if he was one of the Almighty Gods of Churchianity's Trinity Dogma...
(By the way, for those of you expecting Christ to be circling the Earth thousands of times on a cloud-
or maybe as a Giant for only hundreds- note that he said they would "see" him coming on
the clouds, from that moment ON (henceforth)!
 
THIS is the first scripture Trinnies usually go to in their spasm to 'PROVE' the Trinity!

Matt 28: 18-And Jesus coming up spoke to them, saying, all power has been GIVEN me in heaven and upon earth.
19-Go [therefore] and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit;
20- teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have enjoined you. And behold, I am with you all the days, until the completion of the age.

All Power wasn't RETURNED to Jesus, it was GIVEN!
There is that reference to the "name of" the holy spirit...but... IT doesn't HAVE a "name" for us to use!
"Stop in the name of the Law!" has a similar ring- God's holy spirit is the basis of Christian work!

Carry out your ministry under the guidance and of God, Christ, and the Power they send us- the Holy Spirit!
 
Mark 1:8- I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the holy spirit.
9- At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10- Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the spirit descending on him like a dove.
11- And a voice came from heaven: "You are my son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

Now for those of us that have actually read the Bible thru many times, and have relied on this spirit to guide us-
we KNOW it to simply be, as Gabriel told Mary- "the POWER of the Most High God".
But not when we blindly believed what the Clergy taught us; that the Holy Spirit was a ...GHOST
(altho they avoid that term now- but teach the SAME THING!), a third God of the Triune Godhead...)

Think on what happened. Jesus KNEW his Father- God- approved.
So God both spoke, and had the spirit SEEN for a witness to all that Jesus was the REAL Messiah- for many False ones had appeared, making that claim.

Now- if God wanted all to know He and 'Them' as the Trinity- why did He have the Holy Spirit take the form of a DOVE, and not a person?
John describes it as being LIKE a dove- doves shimmer white in the sunlight.
The holy spirit is ALWAYS seen as a glowing light.
It WASN'T the Third God sent by the First God to the Second God!
Otherwise, it WOULD have appeared in the form of a person, like the angels.
So, God had it manifest in this way so all could know IT WAS an IT; His Power.
At pentecost it appears "like" tongues of flame- not as little faces!

The holy (clean) spirit (breath) of God!
 
John- the First Chapter!
The Desperate Raft (with a leak) that churchoids try to stay afloat in!

John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [or "divine'].

[They try to ignore that he was "WITH" God (mentioned TWICE)- for that means he wasn't LITERALLY God (unless he was a SECOND God).
Moses, too, was "God"- Ex 7:1-"I have made thee God to Pharaoh"- Darby]
The "Word" here means Spokesman- one who SPOKE for God as the context clearly shows.

2- The same was in the beginning with God.
3- All things were made through him; and

[Notice "THROUGH" him?]

without him was not anything made that hath been made.
10- He was in the world, and the world was made through him,
and the world knew him not.
14- And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld
his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full
of grace and truth.

HOW was God "BEGOTTEN"?
 
John 1:18- No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him

Many thousands saw Jesus!
 
John 1:33- And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,
The man on whom you see the spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the holy spirit.
34 -I have seen and I testify that this is God s Chosen One.

Not God.
Not 'God-the-Son'.
God's Chosen one!

(And no 'Holy Ghost'!)

35- The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
36 -When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, Look, the Lamb of God!

Not, "Look! It's GOD!" , nor, "Look! It's God-the Lamb!", not 'God-the-Son'!
The Lamb >>> OF <<< God.

49- Then Nathanael declared, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.

NOT Rabbi, you are God-the-Son; you are the king of Israel.
NOT Rabbi, you are God; you are the king of Israel!

EVERY Jew knew what a "son" was!
