Unitarians have it correct IMO: God is Singular, One, Unique, Separate Person, from his Creation!

The concept of ONE God permeates the thinking of many intellectuals of our past. Isaac Newton, Linus Pawling, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Howard Taft, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Clara Barton, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Whitney Young, among hundreds more, all viewed God as singular and not part of a Trinity. Is it now time for the general body of Christianity to accept this thinking?

John 10:30 – Nontrinitarians, such as Unitarians, believe that when Yeshua said, "I and the Father are one," he did not mean that they were actually "one substance", or "one God", or co-equal and co-eternal, but rather that he and the Father have a "unity of purpose", and that the context indicates that Yeshua was saying that they were "one" in their goal (ie, promoting the Kingdom of God).

1 Timothy 2: 5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Comment: Jesus is Yeshua (in Hebrew) and God was Yahweh during his lifetime. Can God be removed by man's choice or words or traditions?
Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, I am He, And there is no God besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand. Comment: this represents the God of Israel, Yahweh. God is Source of negative and positive events (realities).
Isaiah 43:10

Verse Concepts

“You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me." Comment: Lord is another word for Yahweh. God is Yahweh. His personal 'name' in Hebrew is Yahweh.

Isaiah 44:6

Verse Concepts

“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and Israel's Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.

Isaiah 45:18

Verse Concepts

For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited),
“I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Mark 12:29

Verse Concepts

Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord. Comment: Yeshua recognized that his God was the God of Israel (Yahweh).

Ephesians 4:6

Verse Concepts

One God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

It is obvious, to me, as I read scripture that God uses the personal pronoun 'I' many times to make clear that he (God has no gender) is singular (ONE). Yahweh (Yah) says that his reality is the I AM that I AM. This implies a singularity and a oneness (unique to all others). Hear O'Israel, the Lord, our God is ONE is repeated daily by believing Jews and those within the tribes of Israel. 

Is it now time for believers on planet Earth to recognize the REAL God of history and experience. Yes, God has angels and mediators who act as 'agents' of his WORD. But the God of Israel sits on his THRONE as a Singularity. The Trinity concept needs to be REJECTED as flawed and invalid. This concept creates three god person's and three unique personalities. This should be viewed as Idolatry.

This is the voice of Yahweh (also called our spiritual Father)!

Actors often get worshiped by many innocents who can not discern Idolatry. Did Jesus during his lifetime seek worship of himself? He was a Jew who knew his God as Yahweh. He said that his Father was Greater than himself. Witness the behavior of this servant of Yahweh at Gethsemane! What does this reveal about this messenger? It seem clear to me!

I think we have ample evidence (from the behavior of Yeshua during his lifetime) that his God was 'other' than himself. This Jew viewed his God as the God of Israel and also the Creator of man. His scripture was the Torah. His disciples were fellow Jews (Israelites). His message was to promote the Kingdom of his God. Isn't it time to recognize these obvious spiritual realities? Can mankind avoid the REAL God of planet Earth by worshiping a messenger (agent)? Think on this as you read this missive. Who is GOD? Where is GOD? Does GOD still RULE this planet (world)?

Thomas Jefferson was the main author of our Declaration of Independence. According to Jefferson, we are all endowed by our Creator (God) with special (unalienable) spiritual rights!

Is it now time for One Planet Under God? I think so!
