So, it is no wonder that through the 2000 years since Jesus manifested `God` to us that believers have waffled about `God` and Jesus.   

Specifically, the doctrine of the Trinity has provided the waffling space that most Christians have wandered in.   

The Doctrine Of Christ is very specific, identifying the Lord Jesus Christ as the One and Only manifestation of `God`.   

To understand the New Testament verses listed below which speak to the Lordship of Christ Jesus we must absorb the full implication of Isaiah`s prophecy regarding the Messiah.   

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. Isa 9:6 This conflicting description of a single being could not have come from a rational mind.     It came from the Holy Spirit who would fulfil these words in Christ Jesus.      Jesus was born of woman and His Holy Spirit and so He is the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father.     This means that the Father begat Himself!      The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.     Jesus is the body of the Holy Spirit.     We are made in the image of our Creator.     We are Spirit Soul And Body and so also is our Creator.     His name is Jesus.

Now we are in position to receive the revelation of Christ Jesus as the fulfillment of that prophecy.   

In the beginning was the Soul, and the Soul was with the Holy Spirit, and the Soul was the Holy Spirit. Joh 1:1 What does it mean by in the beginning was the Word ?         → A `word` is an expression of an idea.         → An idea comes from a mind that is self-aware and able to think.         → When a word is spoken it has a purpose and it often has an intensity or emotion connected with it.         → Mind, will and emotions constitute a Soul.      So, the Soul Of God existed in the beginning.      What does it mean by the Word was with God ?         → God is a Spirit    → A spirit is the qualitative aspect of a being.     It represents the nature and value system of that being.         → The spirit of a being is the essence of that being.         → So, the Soul Of God was with the Spirit Of God in the beginning.      What does it mean by the Word was God ?         → It means that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God constitute one divine being.      Joh 1:2 emphasizes the fact that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God existed in the beginning.      Joh 1:3 tells us that this God who is Soul and Spirit created all things.      Joh 1:10 tells us that Jesus made the world.      Joh 1:14 tells us that the Soul Of God, the Word, was made flesh and dwelt among us.     Now we have the Body Of God.     This is Jesus.      Heb 1:3 tells us that Jesus is the express image of God.      So, God is a single being who is Spirit Soul And Body just as man is who was created in His image Gen 1:26.         → the Soul Of God,    → the Spirit Of God and    → the Body Of God constitute one God as is emphasized in Deu 6:4.      Word Creator

Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not the Holy Spirit.     He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Holy Spirit and His Son. 2Jn 1:9 If a person believes in some god other than the Lord Jesus Christ, such a person has left the Doctrine Of Christ.      Satan has attacked the church, specificaly with the doctrine of the Trinity which says that God is three persons.      Three persons are three people and that equates to three gods.      The Doctrine Of Christ is that    → Jesus is Immanuel - God with us    → Jesus and His Holy Spirit Father are One    → Jesus has all power in heaven and earth    → Jesus is Mighty God    → Jesus is Everlasting Father    → Jesus is the express image of His Holy Spirit    → Jesus is the Righteous Judge    → Jesus is the Spirit Soul And Body of our Creator

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him farewell: 2Jn 1:10 Reject any minister who does not confess Jesus Christ as Mighty God, crucified and raised from the dead.      Reject any minister who implies that Jesus defers to any other being.      Jesus is the One and Only True And Living God who manifests    → the eternal Spirit and    → the eternal Soul in    → the eternal Body.      Jesus is the Spirit Soul And Body of our Creator.      This is the Doctrine Of Christ.

For he that bids him farewell is partaker of his evil deeds. 2Jn 1:11 To agree with or to be passive toward a minister who denigrates the Lord Jesus Christ by placing Him in subordination to another being is to participate in their error.      Do not support a ministry that does not confess that Jesus is    → Mighty God,    → crucified,    → raised from the dead,    → holder of all power in heaven and earth and    → Righteous Judge.      Do not allow `God` to replace the Lord Jesus Christ upon the Throne Of Majesty.     To do so is denial of the Lord Jesus Christ as Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Saviour, King and Lord of all.

I can imagine the pressure that the original Jewish Christians had upon them.   As a matter of fact, the book of Hebrews represents Paul`s attempt to keep the Doctrine Of Christ pure.   

Essentially, the synagogue has always been the center of Jewish life.   Since the hierarchy of Judaism categorically rejected Christ Jesus as Messiah, much less as I Am, they would not let the name of Jesus be used in the synagogues.   

So, what do people do when they are put under pressure?   They compromise.   

True Christians know that Jesus is the physical incarnation of YHVH.   The term `Son` with respect to Jesus only indicates that His physical birth was begotten by His Holy Spirit.   It in no way indicates subordination to the Father or any other being.   

Because Jesus manifested His Holy Spirit Father perfectly, His body was glorified and embued with all the power of His Holy Spirit Father.   

Can I call Jesus, YHVH, and that be just as good as calling Him Jesus?   No.   See the following verses which attest to this answer: Act 4:12 Joh 14:13,14 Joh 15:16 Joh 16:23,24,26,27

So, talking to God or YHVH or Jehovah or Elohim or Adonai or any other `name` is unacceptable.   He only hears us when we come to Him in His name, Jesus.   

Back to the Jewish believers who wanted to stay in the synagogue.   They compromised and stopped using the name of Jesus and instead used the more palatable name `YHVH` as the rabbis and priests did.   

After all, YHVH is the Father of Jesus they argued or rather Satan argued to them.   Accordingly, the Jewish Christians began to believe in Father and Son as separate persons.   

But what about the Holy Spirit?   They were baptized with the Holy Spirit and knew that He was the Spirit Of God.   So, there must be three persons, or so they reasoned.   

Not acknowledging Jesus as the One and Only True And Living God enabled the `believing` Jews to stay in the synagogues (not be ostracized).   

And then there were the gentiles who had long histories of polytheism.   To convince them that there was only One God was virtually impossible.   

So, teaching them that God was multiple persons sort of fit into their pagan history.   

Not having been there and not being privy to the actual thoughts of the people involved I can only speak to these things from spiritual insight.   

Regardless of the details of how things came about, the bottom line is that there are very few people who are willing to say unabashedly that Jesus is the Creator of all things, the Almighty God, the only Savior, the only Righteous Judge, the only Lord and King of all.
