[Working Draft] 

Throughout the ages there have been many debates in regards to religion. Even within Christianity there have been debates both big and small. In the year 325 AD the Council of Nicaea fought and won on the matter of the Trinity against Arianism; According to my knowledge of history it was the Roman Emperor Constantine I who made the final verdict as he was becoming frustrated by deliberations. Those that believed in Arianism were banished, sentenced to prison or killed. Is the Bible really than unclear that we must debate in courts to settle a matter of faith? If the Bible is that unclear maybe people should reevaluate the truth; that is unless you think the courts and the judgments of man are always correct.  

The Catholic Church has done many horrible things throughout history which Jesus would not have approved of. I believe that it is possible that he may have been very disappointed in the case of the Council of Nicaea vs Arianism, although both may have been wrong. It is possible that the Catholic Church may have been the Harlot of Babylon that the Bible refers to in Revelation. I will not be targeting out the Catholic Church in this theory, so we will keep it at that.

Some will consider my hypothesis and theories far fetched. But then again many also believe that a man was born to a virgin, died and then raised up from his grave. Note that he also ascended into the sky or “heaven.” Is is known today that as one ascends into the sky they must use of a pressurized cabin or else they will freeze and be starved of oxygen. It’s more likely that Jesus simply said, “Beam me up Scotty!” or else used something as described by Jacob:

Genesis 28:12  Jacob dreamed that there was a ladder resting on the earth and reaching up into heaven, and he saw angels of God going up and coming down the ladder.    

With this thought, I will try to put together a hypothesis and in sums a theory that attempts to explain the Bible in lite of what it tells us directly. Notice to make my theory plausible I will have to show evidence for my case and withstand any arguments against my case from within the context of the Bible. With this I hope to also tie in some ancient myths, such as the Sumerians, Mayan, Egyptians, etc that seem to support this theory. 

So, what is my hypothesis?

1. Man has been following a distorted version of Christianity made up by Romans and the early Church, that believes in an imaginary Trinitarian God dwelling in a mythical place called heaven. The orthodox God, is not the God of Judea but is closer in resemblance to Roman and Greek pagan trinitarian gods. The writters of the King James version of the Bible even went as far as to add additional text to the Bible to help reinforce the idea of the Trinity, see the commentary for 1 John 5:7-8.

2. God is: YHWH, El, ”Lord of all lord,” the Father, ”All Mighty,” the alpha and omega, the unbegotten or unborn, and dwells in the heavens or better yet space.

3. Jesus is the “Son of God,” to sit at the right hand of the Father, not one in the same but two seperate beings, his coming was planned by the Father before the creation of the wolrd, born of the virgin marry by conception of the Holy Ghost, and most likely an insemination such as those performed by many doctors today. DNA fertilization of a human embryo with God like DNA, making him half God and half human. What do you know, sounds like Arianism. Humans are close to cloning and can inseminate a women without having sex, therefore a more intelligent being or “Alien race” could do the same.

4. That Jesus did raise from the grave up into the sky to sit at the right hand of his father to one day return and claim his people and take them to a new heaven and earth before the destruction of the world. Read the Bible it’s all there. 

5. God is a Supreme Being, “Alien Entity,” a living God with physical form or even a body. The Bible claims that God is the God of the Living! He could simple be the oldest, unbegotten entity that ever lived.

   1. Deuteronomy 5:26 For what mortal man has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived? 

   2. See the following for other referrances of the “living God”: Joshua 3:10, 1 Samuel 17:26, 1 Samuel 17:36, 2 Kings 19:4, 2 Kings 19:16, Psalm 42:2, Psalm 84:2, Isaiah 37:4, Isaiah 37:17, Jeremiah 10:10, Jeremiah 23:36, Daniel 6:20, Daniel 6:26, Hosea 1:10, Matthew 16:16, Matthew 26:63, Acts 14:15, Romans 9:26, 2 Corinthians 3:3, 2 Corinthians 6:16, 1 Timothy 3:15, 1 Timothy 4:10, Hebrews 3:12, Hebrews 9:14, Hebrews 10:31, Hebrews 12:22, and Revelation 7:2….  So is God living or not?

6. Angels, Seraphim, and Nephilim are under God rule as King yet are in heaven, “sky”. Satan was one of the Angels and attempted to enlighten us with the truth of how to live eternally, but God did not want us to know, or at least did not want us to know yet.

One could hypothesize that if God created all things, he could have also have created himself a physical form beyond comprehension; the unbegotten in the sense of normal birth. Thus God could have been an advanced being such as in the book of Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 1:25-28 25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
      This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.  

Did Ezekiel see the Lord of lords?

If we go back to Genesis we read:

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image and likeness.

Could this be the likeness to which God spoke about?

Later in Genesis one reads that God was concerned that we were advanced to fast and doing great things.

Genesis 11:3-9  3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
 8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Did he feel that he would not be able to remain in control? Maybe he was afraid that we would become like himself. Scarey to think, but Satan, one who attempted to dethrone and/or change God authority may have been telling the truth.

Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

God was afraid that we might live forever like himself. Peter tells us later:

2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

By this one might understant that God still falls within the constraints of time. It is possible that maybe God was the first created.

Genesis 5:24 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. (Took him where? Others non-biblical, Jewish Pseudepigrapha text speak of the Books of the Secrets of Enoch were God took Enoch to record the history of creation for future generations.)

Genesis 6:1-8 1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. 5 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

 

Genesis 18 1 The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. [What did he see of the LORD, there is not description.] 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. 3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord [Who are these men that he calls lord?], do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”
      “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” 6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread.” 7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. 9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him.
      “There, in the tent,” he said.
 10 Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” [Was one of these lords, the actual LORD? How was Abraham able to be in the presence of the LORD?]
      Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
 13 Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.” [Obviously the LORD knows all things and is the worker of miracles.]
 15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.”
      But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
 16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”
 20 Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”
 22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
 26 The LORD said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
 27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?”
      “If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”
 29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”
      He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”
 30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”
      He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
 31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”
      He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”
 32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”
      He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”
 33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

Genesis 19:1-29 1 The two angels [Note: There are now two angels and the lord is gone, was it Jesus or a physical representation of God the Father?] arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”
      “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” 3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? [Note: lords, Angels? look like men?] Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” 6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.” 9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. And they said, “This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. 10 But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.
 12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”
 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
 15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”
 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”
 18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! 19 Your  servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
 21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar. )
 23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. [Note: Some type of nuclear bomb? There are many guesses as to what might have happened.] 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
 27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
 29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

Genesis 28:12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. [Note: This whole verse is an interesting depiction.]

Genesis 22  2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” …
9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
      ”Here I am,” he replied.
 12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” … [Abraham then offered up a ram] …
 15 The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” 

Exodus 7:1 1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.” [Note: Could this be a future resemblance of what he’d do to Jesus? It seems very similar to Jesus and John the baptist.]

Daniel 7:13-14  13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, [a referrance to Jesus the Christ, Messiah in the old testament] coming with the clouds of heaven. He [Jesus the Christ, Messiah] approached the Ancient of Days [God, the Father] and was led into his presence. 14 He [Jesus the Christ, Messiah] was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him [Jesus the Christ, Messiah]. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Isaiah 14: 5 & 12-14 5 The LORD has broken the scepter of evil rulers
       and taken away their power. …
12 King of Babylon, morning star, you have fallen from heaven,
       even though you were as bright as the rising sun!
    In the past all the nations on earth bowed down before you,
       but now you have been cut down.
 13 You told yourself,
       “I will go up to heaven.
    I will put my throne
       above God’s stars.
    I will sit on the mountain of the gods,
       on the slopes of the sacred mountain.
 14 I will go up above the tops of the clouds.
       I will be like God Most High.

Ezekiel 1:4-28 4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.
 10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.
 15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
 19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
 22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. 23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
 25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
      This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

Matthew 24:1-41 1Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2?Do you see all these things?” he asked. “I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
 3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
 4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
 9?Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
 15?So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time. [So others will have abilities like Christ?]
 26?So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
 29“Immediately after the distress of those days
   ” ‘the sun will be darkened,
      and the moon will not give its light;
   the stars will fall from the sky,
      and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
 30?At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
 32?Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36?No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

John 18:31-37  “But we have no right to execute anyone,” the Jews objected. 32This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled.
 33Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
 34?Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
 35?Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
 36Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
 37?You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
      Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

John 19:7-12  7The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
 8When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10?Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
 11Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
 12From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”

Hebrews 1 1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
 5For to which of the angels did God ever say,
   “You are my Son;
      today I have become your Father”? Or again,
   “I will be his Father,
      and he will be my Son”? 6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
   “Let all God’s angels worship him.” 7In speaking of the angels he says,
   “He makes his angels winds,
      his servants flames of fire.” 8But about the Son he says,
   “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
      and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
 9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
      therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
      by anointing you with the oil of joy.” 10He also says,
   “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
      and the heavens are the work of your hands.
 11They will perish, but you remain;
      they will all wear out like a garment.
 12You will roll them up like a robe;
      like a garment they will be changed.
   But you remain the same,
      and your years will never end.” 13To which of the angels did God ever say,
      “Sit at my right hand
   until I make your enemies
      a footstool for your feet”? 14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Hebrews 5-18 5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified:
   “What is man that you are mindful of him,
      the son of man that you care for him?
 7You made him a little lower than the angels;
      you crowned him with glory and honor
    8 and put everything under his feet.” 
    In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
 10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. 12He says,
   “I will declare your name to my brothers;
      in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises.” 13And again,
   “I will put my trust in him.”[d] And again he says,
   “Here am I, and the children God has given me.”
 14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 3:1-6 1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.

Revelation 1:4-19 4John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
   Grace and peace to you from (1) him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from (2) the seven spirits before his throne, 5and from (3) Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
   To him [Jesus the Christ] who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.  [I believe it is important in that Jesus simple states "his God and Father." Clear this shows a distinction.]
 7Look, he is coming with the clouds,
      and every eye will see him,
   even those who pierced him;
      and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
 8″I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” 
 …
 12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,”dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
 17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. [Jesus is claiming his right to deity, he is the first and the last and only Messiah.] 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
 19″Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 

Revelation 21:1 1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

So then, now that you have read the scripture revealing the nature of God, what about Thomas?

John 20:26-29 26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
 28Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
 29Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”.

Note that Thomas makes the distinction “My Lord” and “my God”. He now believed in the Messiah and God the Father. Think if I were claiming my children as my own, “my son” and “my daughter.” Does this make them on in the same. No it doesn’t. Notice that Thomas doesn’t say, “My Lord, God.” He again says, “My Lord” and “My God.” The idea of a Heavenly Father and his chosen anointed Son, Jesus Christ, had been revealed and he finally understood the truth that the Lord and Messiah had been talking about. Notice this was a hard concept to grasp as it still is today by most Christians. Jesus had been appointed the Lord of heaven and earth, but the God of the Ancient of Days is still the One and only true God.
