In John 20:17, Jesus refers to his “Father” as “my God.”

In the background image for the texts and conclusion, Jesus Christ, leaning back on some large rocks and holding a staff in his left hand, contemplates a great, brilliant white light the rays of which penetrate starry space, reflecting, as we interpret the scene, on where he came from and from whom he received the glorious, powerful, beautiful GOSPEL that he is in the process of communicating to human beings during his earthly ministry.

The Being in the scene is very definitely not the Father God himself incarnate but rather his Son who, while with his Father in Heaven and before coming down to Earth, heard and saw up there, learning it, the Gospel that his Father commanded him to go down and speak to the world.

The conclusion expressed in teal green, based on the eight verses in the Gospel according to the apostle John, says, copying it here: If Jesus DID NOT speak on his own, if all he said was from the Father, if the Father taught him the Gospel, commanding him to go down to Earth and preach only what he heard from him, then, obviously, they are two distinct beings: the Father and Teacher who originated the Gospel; the Son and Disciple who learned it from him in Heaven, then going down to Earth and communicating it to human beings. Naturally and logically, they are not two faces of the very same divine Being.

In truth, correct and adequate knowledge of the Bible, and, in particular, of the New Testament which is the part of the Bible in force as the divine “perfect law that gives liberty” during the present Common Era (James 1:25), dissipates, in the objective, receptive mind full of “spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9), the exotic, intricate, wordy, irrational-sounding mythologies and theologies about gods and goddesses with two, three, or more heads, bodies, presences, identities, etc. For example, the illogical, mystical, and mythical intertwined meanderings of 4th-century bishop Athanasius, of Alexandria, Egypt. It replaces them with natural and logical perceptions of true Deity as clearly stated by Jesus Christ and the apostles he personally appointed.
