Proclaimer,
LU: If the YHVH Unity were a family, then just as Jesus is the Son within the YHVH family, his Father is the Father within the YHVH family.
PC:I could make the same argument that they are aliens too.
But a wise person sticks to scripture and doesn’t let their imagination run wild with things they really know nothing about.

Carmel,
Have you got any suggestion when Jesus was begotten on earth in relation to the scriptures hereunder:
Acts 13:33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the SECOND PSALM also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Psalm 2 7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto m…

Carmel,
They are one WHAT?
ONE GOD! NO?
22I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one— 23I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united,
They are one, i.e. perfectly united.

Carmel,
Also, is the church “God” because the head of the church is “God?”
Which scripture declares that
“the head of the church is God”
1 Cor 11:3
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

Thanks Berean, another beautiful performance. I have never heard of a panflute.
God bless you too,

Proclaimer,
PC, you write this (without understanding or merely not wanting to understand, idk): If God was a family then just as Jesus is the Son of God, the Father would be the Father of God.
This is more accurate if the YHVH Unity were a family:

Carmel,
Carmel: the title GOD is equally related to the Father and the Son; they are ONE!
They are one WHAT?
Also, is the church “God” because the head of the church is “God?”

Carmel,
He is the Firstborn of the One he calls his father, not of every creature.

Proclaimer,
PC: How can God be his head if Christ is God.
Two persons are identified as God, one is the Father of the other. Jesus says they are ONE.
In the Jones Family (for example), there are more than one person. The “Jones” that is the father, is head of the “Jones” that is his son. Understand?
Both are “Jones”, they are one family unity,…[Read more]

Proclaimer,
You asked: But if your doctrine is not a Binity (while clearly it is), then what name do you give this doctrine?
It is simply a Unity.

Carmel,
So you don’t think that it was the Father that established the plan for the Son to become the Messiah, the sacrificial lamb?
The Son did not establish the plan, He was willingly obedient though, to follow His Father’s plan.
The Fayher gives the vision, the Son carries out the vision, imo.

Proclaimer,
You’re welcome. I look forward to your response.
Also, please remember that I do not teach the trinity doctrine.
I teach the Unity of YHVH, with the Father who is within the UNITY, as the head of the UNITY, His Son within the UNITY as the only begotten son of the Father, and the Holy Spirit which comes from them as one Spirit.

John 10

God chooses and man chooses.
14Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers serv…[Read more]

@Proclaimer
You asked:
So what is he (Jesus) then?
The Father identifies the Son as YHVH, see here:
Hebrews 1:10-12
O Lord (the Son),
You (the Son) laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands (the Son’s hands).
11They will perish, but You (the Son) remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
