But According to the Bible there is Only ONE TRUE God and it is YHWH and no one else, and Jesus himself said so.
But Isn’t Jesus called God in the Bible?
Yes, Jesus is called god in a couple places like Hebrews 1:8 and John 20:28. However, “god” is not an exclusive title, but rather a context of power; el means power-authority. The Bible calls many men god because they represent the Almighty as YHWH's exclusive agents. For instance, Moses is called “elohim” twice (Exodus 4 and 7), and in the law, the government officials were called ‘elohim’ (Exodus 21 and 22). The kings of Judah were called ‘elohim’ (Psalm 45, which is quoted in Hebrew 1:8), and as Jesus quoted, all “to whom the word of God came” were called gods (Psalm 82, quoted in John 10). Does this make Moses, and the Judges, and the Kings all deity as well, or is there something greater we should consider regarding the Divine Nature of God?
And what about the Devil? Isn't Satan referred to as the God of this World? We see this in places like 2 Corinthians 4:4, and the words ho theos or ὁ θεός are used, so then shall we assume that Satan created this world? While that's a foolish notion to most calling themselves Christians, this argumentative position is no different logically than applying the context of Jesus' elohim-ness to be the same, or equal to God the Father.
Certainly there is a biblical precedent to call someone “god” who represents the Almighty on earth, and Jesus is obviously far more worthy of such preeminent honor above all others, before and after him, which is what defines his unique nature. But more distinctly, there are references only used for YHWH who is the God of our fathers. The first is his name: “YHWH”. YaHoWaH, or YaHuWaH, is alone attributed to the one who is named YHWH, whereas the Son's name is NOT YHWH, but rather includes the name of YHWH (YHWH-YSH, pronounced YaHoWshuaH, or YaHushuWaH). There are also titles for YHWH alone, which include the Almighty and the Most High, and they show up in both the Old and New Covenants. No one else possesses these titles. No one!
Jesus (YaHoWshuaH) is called god "rarely" to imply his representational authority, just as Moses was, and the Judges, and the Kings, and the Angels (messengers), and the ones who receive the word (the Prophets) are also called god. But Jesus is never called “the God (with definite article)”, or "the Almighty", or "YHWH", or "the Lord God", etc. These are reserved for “The Only True God”, just as Jesus prayed in his prayer to God the Father prior to his execution.
Furthermore, YHWH-God is not 3 persons, or two. God is not even a person in the sense that we usually define a person. God is not a Man for sure. If you believe that God is a Man, then you have thrown all logic out the window. I know I know..."John 1:1"...I've heard it more times than you can imagine...for decades. If you are pushing John 1:1 as the proof text for Jesus being God, then You are a byproduct of the Logos Magic (magick); one of the greatest tricks in the History of Mankind!
If you don't believe the Bible, then I understand that you have a reason to be deceived about what the Bible says. But if you say the Bible, or Tanakh, Pentateuch, Old Testament, Law, Writings, and the Prophets, New Testament, or whatever you call it...if you say this is the foundation of your faith, then you better place your faith in what's written and quit messing around! Otherwise you are deceived, or a hypocrite, or worse a wolf if you know what's going on with all the deception and you are still pushing the lies anyway.
So God is not a person, nor 2 persons, nor 3 persons. And God is not a Man. God is also not an Angel. Seriously, you can't be "the LORD" and be the "LORD's Angel" at the same time. That's just not smart. Logic-out-the-window thinking is what that is. God is Spirit!
God can Only be One, otherwise that One who is God would not be Almighty. That presents a HUGE problem for One who must be Almighty to be self-existent, for if there is more than One that is Almighty and self-existent, then neither of them are truly Almighty.
Certainly, I will prove this from the Scripture as a whole, but for now, let's see if you can believe a couple of "DIRECT OBJECTIVE STATEMENTS" in the Bible that need no interpretation at all:
God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. 1 Samuel 15:29 [The Strength of Israel is YHWH and YHWH is written 28 times just in 1 Samuel 15]
Job 9:32: he (God) is not a man, that I might answer him or go to court with him.
Hosea 11:9-10: I am Elohim and not a man says YHWH.
These also contrast God with a man: Genesis 2:5, 18, Genesis 6:3.
For I [am] YHWH, I change not... Malachi 3:6
The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of YHWH blows upon it: surely the people [are] grass. The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our Elohim [God] shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:7-8
So what does the WORD of YHWH Elohim that stands forever really say about himself and His Son?
There are so many different versions of God in Christian churches these days that we need a Pantheon to store them all. However, what was written is as clear as a bell.
Do you believe Paul, Peter, and John, the directly selected Disciples and the Apostles of Jesus Christ, or do you believe your Pastor?
The bottom line is Your Pastor does Not agree with the Apostles!
32 Times God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ
Certainly a Salutation is a great example of what the writers believed, and fall into the category of a Direct Statement. The verses below are mostly salutations covering most of the Epistles of the New Testament
Romans 1:7, Romans 15:6, 1 Corinthians 1:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 1:2-3, 2 Corinthians 11:31, Galatians 1:3, Ephesians 1:2-3, 17, Ephesians 5:20, Ephesians 6:23, Philippians 1:2, Philippians 2:11, Colossians 1:2-3, Colossians 3:17, 1 Thessalonians 1:1 (twice in one verse), 3, 1 Thessalonians 3:11, 13, 2 Thessalonians 1:1-2, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:2, Titus 1:4, Philemon 1:3, 1 Peter 1:3, 2 John 1:3
The above italicized verses are close in proximity to verses that are highly misused to say Jesus is God the Creator (like Philippians 2:6-7, Colossians 1:16), yet these italicized nearby verses say that Father is God. So then we must conclude that either Paul is contradicting himself, and therefore we should seriously consider if we can even take Paul seriously, or Paul's direct statements are just what he meant, and his indirect statements are being taken out of context.
For example, 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 is full of very Direct Statements, just like the other bolded verses in the list above. Likewise, John agrees with Paul in Direct Statements. If John believed that the Word that was God is Jesus, then why does he write a contradiction in 2 John 1:3: Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. These bolded words have very specific meanings, and every time Your Pastor claims Jesus Christ is the Creator-God of the Universe, then Your Pastor strips the meaning right out of these words, giving Glory to Jesus that is only due to the Father, and according to YHWH Elohim that's a big "NO NO"!
As YHWH said "You shall have no other gods before me (Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 et al).
If you make out Jesus to be the Creator of the "Original Creation" then you have a massive logical fallacy on multiple fronts, including primarily that there are Two Gods that are Father and Son.
Everyone is trying to dodge this logical fallacy in Pastordome and Christianity by claiming that these multiple persons make up One God, but that reasoning defies sound doctrine, because if the Father is a person like the son is also a person, then neither of them are God by themselves, whereas the most basic definition of a One True God must be "Almighty". Based on the repeated interpretation, either there are Two Gods in John 1:1 which are Father and Son, or the Father is omitted completely. And where is the third person that Pastors call out separately as the Holy Spirit in this verse?
And why is the Holy Spirit “supposedly” missing from all these salutations listed above?
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 1:7).
Had Paul and John been drinking and so they forgot the Holy Spirit?
[WARNING MODIFIED VERSE TO MAKE A POINT]
Why don't these salutations alternately say: To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit? Furthermore, if the Trinity (or the Twinity) is the truth, then why wouldn't Paul write like this: To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and God the Lord Jesus Christ (Twinity) and God the Holy Spirit (Trinity)?
Answer: because God is the Spirit (who is Most High and Most Holy), and we can clearly see this in verses like Genesis 1:2, John 3:5, Acts 5:1-11, John 4:23-24, 7:39, Ephesians 4:30, 1 Corinthians 12:3-7. That last verse is a Slam Dunk that God is the Spirit Holy!
The problem is Your Pastor is too busy hugging the traditions of men and an ancient form of idolatry to do anything else other than to continue to sow this confusion.
On a rare occasion a New Testament document will have the words God and Holy Spirit in the same sentence. For example the last verse in 2 Corinthians: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14). The reason is because the Holy Spirit is "a what" in this verse and not "a who" in the context Paul uses here.
Part of the problem is translators capitalize words "out of context". This is what's called translation bias and it's all over English Versions of the Bible. The holy spirit is what God shares with his son Jesus which unifies them into a singular focus, which is why the holy spirit in this verse is contextually "a what, and not a who". If I say the Holy Spirit (God) gives Jesus his holy spirit (God's Spirit), then in the first case the Holy Spirit is a who and in the second case the holy spirit is a what. This reality is all over the text.
So I would write this verse without the explanations above just like this: The Holy Spirit gives his son Jesus his holy spirit. In this way I have defined I mean Holy Spirit as the name/epithet of God, and his holy spirit as a part of God's being given to Jesus.
Primarily we can see there is confusion in the Trinitarian mindset when 2 Corinthians 13:14 is use to "prove the Trinity" while 1 Corinthians 1:3 and 2 Corinthians 1:2-3 are altogether ignored.
Let's put this in John's own words from the Gospel of John to finish the point. Remember, this is the same John who wrote John 1:1: For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure [unto him]. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him (John 3:34-36).
And in the perspective of Jesus' words: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word (logos) of God (theos) came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say you of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though you don't believe me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him (John 10:34-36).
You'll need to go read the context of Psalm 82 to see what Jesus was talking about. In short, those gods to whom the Word of God came still die like men (Psalm 82:7). In the mean time if you think that Jesus speaks his own words instead of the Father's words, then you are like the Pharisees who do error not knowing the Scripture, and also stubborn for you refuse to believe a phrase repeated 32 times in the New Testament: God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Joseph, or David, or God the Father?
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy one which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:34-35).
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was so: When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord [YHWH] appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit (Mat 1:18-20).
So if you believe the nativity narrative, then you would have to believe Jesus' Father is the Holy Spirit, because "The Holy Spirit" did the conceiving. This alone destroys almost all Christian Doctrine on the subject of the Nature of YHWH-God [Elohim] and His Son Jesus Christ [Yahowshuah ha Mashiach]. Most everyone has this wrong. Or would you blasphemously say that Two Separate Entities are the causation for Christ's conception?
To that last statement, the pastors and the teachers will probably be yelling verses from John 14 etc., but the truth is they don't know how to property interpret John 14, 15, and 16, or most all of the Gospel of John, or John's Epistles, and the Book of Revelation.
Jesus Said: These things I have spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father (John 16:25). The word here for proverb is "paroimia" which is an elaborate metaphor utilizing similes in allegorical references. Right after this profession from Jesus that he was speaking in "proverbs", Jesus Said: For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and [you] have believed that I came out from God. John 16:27
Jesus "came out of God" as the Holy Spirit "conceived in Mary" the Son of God, just as God had spoken while using his Prophets to prophesy for 4,000 years "prior to the conception". The words in Matthew 1.1 and 1.18 & 1:20 pertaining to this subject are: "genesis" which means "generation, or nature", and "gennēsis" which means "birth, or engender, i.e. offspring", and "gennaō" which means "to be born".
This is the real Jesus, having come out of the Holy Spirit and "genesis by conception" in Mary.
The whole idea that Jesus was a preexisting eternal God who transformed himself into a Baby inside Mary's stomach is an age-old slight on Jesus' God who "Fathered" Jesus. This is a Master Trick of the Devil, and Your Pastor Lies to the congregation about this, unless Your Pastor teaches expressly that Jesus is the Only Conceived and Begotten Son of God. If your Pastor teaches that Jesus is the Creator, or that Jesus preexisted as the eternal God, then Your Pastor isn't telling the truth. You may try to curse me to hell for blasphemy, of which I forgive you in advance, but if this brings up anger or mocking in your soul, maybe you should consider why this disturbs you so much.
If Your Pastor Lies on the Scripture with a Trinitarian Dogma, or Binitarian Dogma, or a Modalistic Dogma (Oneness), or any Dogma that makes out anyone else to be God beside YHWH, then tell them to stop blaspheming the Word of YHWH and seek to be sanctified by the word of YHWH.
This is what Jesus' taught: Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4. Jesus was not referring to himself when he said this at the temptation, "Man shall not live of bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God [his Father YHWH].
If Jesus was referring to his own word, then he was a babbler and a liar; otherwise he was referring to His Father's words.
Now let's advance to "Who is the Creator?" according to the Bible!
All of these are in Reference to YHWH, and No One Else, Except for a Select Few of Contrasting Verses that Serve to Prove the Point that YHWH Alone is the One True God.

Exodus 3:6, 13, 15-16 (YHWH here in these verses also refers to himself as the "God of Your Fathers", so saying that Jesus is YHWH is like claiming that Jesus is the Father of himself and Adam, which is Absolute Foolishness, for then Jesus would have had to of fathered himself in Mary and also from the dead; this is what easily makes the traditional interpretation of verses like John 8:58 ultra-false, and the basis of "theories" like the trinity and the twinity illogical).

Interestingly there are No Exact Matches to the Phrase "God of Judah" or "LORD of Judah". Although we could easily prove that YHWH Elohim is the God of Judah, because Judah is clearly part and parcel of Israel, like concerning the Blessing of Judah and YHWH being the “Voice of Judah” (Deuteronomy 33:7), and also Judah being one of the Sons of Israel, therefore being one of the Tribes. But this overwhelming lack of the use of the phrase "god of" or "LORD of" directed exclusively toward Judah quickly shuts down any argument for "the Jews alone". Was not the firstborn son of Jacob named Reuben? The Jews alone debate is not scripturally founded in any portion of the Bible except the Book of Esther, which interestingly totally excludes any mention of God and YHWH altogether...but I digress. Let us return to Who is the One True God of All.

Unfortunately, Christians have their "little pot" of go-to verses that they lean on to perpetuate the lie that Jesus is the Preexistent Creator of the Universe, but it's just not true. The verses listed in the headline above are most always taken out of context (along with "a few" others), and all of that is covered on this website.
What we must do, if we are going to adhere to the truth, is be honest with the Scripture, and humble ourselves to what YHWH has said through the Prophets. There is so much deception on Biblical Doctrine that you have to define an approach that equalizes the playing field of understanding. Even though it "seems" like there are a number of verses that point to Jesus being the Creator, none of them are Direct Statements that equal the eisegetical interpretation. Every verse that is used to prop up Jesus to be someone else besides the Christ (Messiah, the anointed one) is a misinterpretation.
If these verses that are used to say Jesus is God, and the Creator, and Preexistent were true, then the Bible would be contradicting itself constantly, especially in even redefining the most simple words like the word ONE.
To prove this, let's begin by looking at some verses that DIRECTLY STATE: YHWH Alone is Creator. These following passages DIRECTLY STATE that YHWH is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and Man (Adam) etc.:
And on the seventh day God (Elohim) ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God (Elohim) blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God (Elohim) created and made. These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD YHWH God (Elohim) made the earth and the heavens (Genesis 2:2-4).
And the LORD YHWH God (Elohim) formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7)
For [in] six days the LORD YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHWH blessed the sabbath day, and made it holy (Exodus 20:11).
By the word of the LORD YHWH the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Psalm 33:6 [Note that the word "dabar" in this verse is translated to the word "word", and in the Septuagint is replaced with the Greek word "logos". The importance is that this is the word in John 1.1 that everyone goes to thinking they can prove Jesus (Yahowshuah) is God, but this age-old argument is total nonsense!
In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).
As we saw in the the Genesis 2:2-4 passage above, that Elohim is YHWH, who is referred to multiple times as singular personal pronoun, and that's because the Noun (Elohim) is normally translated in the singular or plural based on the associated verb (Made/Create) that is written in the immediate text. Normally, when Elohim is used in reference to the One True God, the verb modifying the noun is singular. This is contrary to normal Hebrew grammar rules where the verb regularly agrees with the noun in gender and number. Usually in grammar rules, we would expect a plural verb to be used with a plural noun like Elohim. When using Elohim of false “gods,” this is what is written. However, most of the time when we encounter the plural noun Elohim, it is modified by a singular verb which shows that there is only one true Elohim/God (there are very few exceptions in the text, and they are not Trinitarian, and they are listed here for those really want to know: Genesis 20:13, Genesis 35:7, 2 Samuel 7:23, Psalm 58:11).
This is how you know whether Elohim refers to an individual entity or multiple entities, such as Psalm 82.1 where is says: Elohim (God-singular) stands in the congregation of the mighty (el in the singular used as "power"); he judges among the Elohim (gods-plural). We have the same word here in the same verse translated once in the singular and once in the plural; as most often Elohim is written as a MONOTHEISTIC Connotation, vs. sometimes plural for the rulers (the powers) that YHWH appoints and maintains sovereignty over.
YHWH is the Supreme Elohim and there is NO OTHER LIKE YHWH. There is no such thing as monolatry in the Scripture when it comes to the acts of the Original Creation.
Notes: 1) If you are not familiar with the word YHWH, it is because the translators of the Bible have blasphemed the Creator's name thousands of times in the text by following tradition and changing his Holy Name to LORD (A title and not his name). We can argue for a century about how to pronounce it, but there is no argument for this: his name is NOT LORD or HA SHEM. 2) Notice the "single personal pronouns" in the text; NOT plural. 3) Also the word for God in the text is El, Elohim, Eloha, and doesn't really mean what people think it means, but rather denotes power. This is a major source of confusion, because there are from time-to-time in the text many elohim, or other elohim, that are appointed, or controlled, or anointed by YHWH to be temporary elohim, but are not the Creator and One and Only True Elohim. Who is the Creator is by far the beginning of the defining difference between YHWH Elohim and all other entities in the text.
Contrary to the highly repeated modern argument, Elohim is NOT automatically plural, as in referring to the Trinity. This is a BIG FAT LIE, as for example, YHWH Elohim called Moses to be an Elohim to Pharaoh (Exodus 4.16 & Exodus 7:1). Unless you make YHWH out to be a liar, and/or Moses out to be a Trinity, you should easily be able to see that you cannot trust most of the Scholars, and Pastors, and Teachers, because they usually do NOT know what they are talking about.
Below is a List of Verses that Show YHWH is the Creator. It will take a a bit to go through them, but if you care to know who Your Creator is, you will make the effort. If you want to continue to be deceived and yell names and speak slanders, then disregard Jesus' warnings about deception and apostasy and ignore the Scripture.
Some of the best verses are highlighted to get you started:
Proverbs 30:4-12 (v4), Job 9:1-10 (v8) [Job Chapter 1 clarifies 10 times that YHWH is God], Genesis 1:1, 2:3-4, (Exodus 3:14-16, 4:11-12; Oedipal Complex or Causa Sui? In other words did YHWH make his own mouth, that is Jesus, where does the word come from?), Exodus 20:11, 31:17 (1 Chronicles 29:11), Deuteronomy 4:32-40 (v32&39), 1 Samuel 2:8, 2 Chronicles 2:12, 2 Kings 19:15, Nehemiah 9:6, Psalm 8, 24:1-2, 33:6-8, 86:8-10, 89:4-12, 90:1-2, 102:22 -25, 104:24, 104:26, 104:30-31, 115:15, 121:2, 124:8, 134:3, 146:5-6, Isa 17:7, 37:16, 40:12-13, 40:22-28, 41:4, 41:26, 42:5-9, 43:1-15, 44:2-6, 21-26, 45:7-23 (applies to His express agent Rom 14:9, Philippians 2:9-11, living vs dead application Mark 12:24-27, Isaiah 47:4), (Proverbs 20:12), Isaiah 44:24, 46:8-10, 48:12-17, 54:5, Jeremiah 5:22-24, 10:10-16, 23:5-6 [context of being called YHWH Tsidkenu 33:14-16 (Isaiah 9:6-7 performed by YHWH)], Jeremiah 31:35-37, 32:17, 33:2-3 (Post David's Death reference to Jesus-Prophecy; Jeremiah 33:17-22), Jeremiah 51:15-19, Zechariah 12:1-2, Job 12:9-10, 26, 33:4, 37:14-18, Amos 9:6, Jonah 1:9, Malachi 2:10, [Delivered from YHWH of Heaven & Earth to Jesus Luke 10:21-24 (Matthew 11:25-27)], Mark 13:19 (Mark 10:9), Acts 4:24 (25-26; Psalm 2:1-2), Acts 14:15 (v22 YHWH), Acts 17:24-31, Romans 1:25 [Colossians 1:16, Romans 3:14 see principalities section/card to resolve this issue; neither created nor creator, but begotten by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1.18-20, Luke 1:35)], Ephesians 2:10, 1 Peter 3:18-22, 1 Peter 4:17-19 (antecedent Theos), 2 Peter 3:5-13, Revelation 4:11 (vs How Jesus is Worshipped Revelation 5:9-10, 12 Compared to YHWH Rev 4:11], Revelation 10:6-7, [Hebrews 1:1-2 aion age, all other context], 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 [Yahowshuah is the anointed appointed El of the dead, only Father knows Matthew 24:36, Acts 1:6-7, Zechariah 14:4 vs Acts 1:12 and then Revelation 21:1], Revelation 14:7.
So YHWH (Yahowah) ALONE is the Creator. Therefore, if you believe Jesus (Yahowshuah) is the Creator, then you need to establish "Biblically" that Jesus (Yahowshuah) is YHWH (Yahowah), otherwise you have a BIG PROBLEM, as this is directly related to DISOBEYING the very first Saying of YHWH in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 (aka The Ten Commandments). Exodus 20:2 and 3:"I [am] YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:2-3).
This is the "dabar / logos" of "YHWH Elohim (God/Theos)" who is in fact NOT Jesus (Jesus is YHWH-YASHA). Yahowah means the self-existing one, which YHWH explains to Moses in Exodus 3:13-16. Whereas, YHWH-YASHA (Yahowshuah, aka Jesus and Yeshuah) means the self-existing one saves. In short YHWH Almighty God saves mankind through his Agent whom YHWH anoints, who is called the Christ (Christos in Greek), or Messiah (māšîaḥ) in Hebrew, and this One YHWH has put his name in Jesus' name.
I know I know, I hear you shouting, John 8:58. It's a BIG LIE, and Your Pastor Lies about it all the time, and you just go on repeating it like you are so smart, but we can easily establish the difference between YHWH and YHWH-YASHA, so let's do it.
It takes years of work and extreme focus to determine the verse the writers of the New Testament quoted the most from the Old Testament. Every believer should know that verse if it's that important, but first let's establish "what is the verse" before we go to the Scripture.
Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament, recorded this in 2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
In Paul's mind, the Scripture is what we call the Old Testament. Paul did not think his Epistles were Scripture. So if you run around saying you are a "New Testament Christian" with no thought for the Old Testament which is full of the "Word of YHWH", you lack even some most basic understanding of the New Testament.
The word Paul uses that is translated to Scripture is "graphḗ", and all 51 times the word is used in the New Testament, "graphḗ" is translated as scripture(s). Thirteen of these uses came from Jesus (Yahowshuah). Here is one of those uses where Jesus quotes Psalm 118:22-23: Jesus says to them, Have you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing (Jesus is referring to YHWH), and it is marvelous in our eyes? Matthew 21:42
So according to the Son of God the Messiah, and Paul, as well as Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, the writer of Acts, James and Peter, the Scripture in their minds is the Old Testament. This is a Key to understanding what most Pastors are missing, and because of this the Christians are missing it too!
So what is the most quoted verse, and why is it so important?
Here are the 27 places in the New Testament I have Found this Referenced. The highlighted verses are Jesus (Yahowshuah) speaking. If you can find a verse quoted more from the Old Testament in the New Testament than this one, please let me know as I will make the correction:
Matthew 22.44; Matthew 26.64; Mark 12.36, Mark 14.62; Mark 16.19; Luke 20.42, Lk 20.43; Luke 22.69; Acts 2.34, Acts 2.35; Acts 5.31 (v32 obey); Acts 7.55, Acts 7.56; Romans 8.34; 1 Corinthians 15.25; 1 Corinthians 15.27; Ephesians 1.20; Ephesians 1.22; Colossians 3.1; Hebrews 1.3, Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 8.1; Hebrews 10.12, Hebrews 10.13; Hebrews 12.2; 1 Peter 3.22 [Daniel 7.13-14; Psalm 8.6; Romans 16.20; Hebrews 2.8, Matthew 25.33-34; Matthew 28.18], Revelation 12.4-6
[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD YHWH said unto my Lord Adoni, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool. Psalm 110:1
A Major Key here is understanding that YHWH is in fact not "la adoni", i.e. "the lord" here. YHWH said to another, "hey you other entity" sit here while I YHWH do work on your behalf". If YHWH were the "other lord" in this verse then the word the author would have used would be "adonay", but that wouldn't make sense, because then YHWH would have been talking to himself while also telling himself to sit down, which would make YHWH schizophrenic!
What's really happening in this verse is David is prophesying about the future "Messiah", and by the very nature of the definition of the Messiah-Anointed, the anointed one must in fact have an Anointer, otherwise no anointing can ever even take place.
Q: So who is la adoni? A: The Messiah - The Christ
YHWH Almighty God is the Anointer, and his Only Begotten Son is the One that YHWH anoints as The Christ.
Now then let's move onto the overwhelming use of the phrase "WORD of YHWH" in the text and continue to set the record straight about Who is Who in the Kingdom of God, and what is The Word!
YHWH's Word, or his sayings, also referenced in the Old Testament as commandment, statues, ordinances, and judgments, belong to YHWH alone. And you should "keep-or guard" His Word if you want to live, and adhere to His Word, and embody it, and abide in it, especially if you Love YHWH, just like Jesus did.
Again, the issue here is very simple in it's context. On the other hand, the paradigm shift in understanding this dynamic is powerful and complicated. But it's not really hard to understand unless you remain under the Word Magic(k) Spell of the Traditions of Men, for they have such a fine way of dismissing the very God they say they serve.
Jesus spoke YHWH's words (John 3:34, John 7:16, John 8:28, John 8:38, John 8:40, John 12:49, John 14:10, John 17:8), so why doesn't Your Pastor? I quoted just the John references here to show you John does not think that "The LOGOS" is originally Jesus. This section alone dashes to pieces the lame argument that John is referring to Jesus in John 1:1. It is in John 1:14 that John explains that "The Word" is brought forth into the Flesh as the promised Messiah, as "the only begotten Son of God".
Here are 382 References that THE WORD belongs to YHWH and comes out of his mouth, which is what a TRUE PROPHET speaks. If you come speaking in the name of the God of the Bible without understanding, then you are a FALSE PROPHET.

But wait...there's more.
We also have in the text a large number of verses that DIRECTLY STATE the Word of Elohim.
We also have 58 Times in the Old Testament, and 73 Times in the New Testament the phrase "Word of God". This is the same thing we have already covered, only adding more verses that refer to God, using one of his titles, rather than using his name.
Here are 131 more verses attributed to YHWH Elohim, and no one else:
Old Testament
Numbers 24:4, 1 Samuel 9:27, 1 Kings 12:22, 1 Chronicles 17:3, 1 Chronicles 25:5, Psalm 107:11, Proverbs 30:5, 16, Numbers 24:4, 16, [words] 1 Chronicles 25:5, Psalm 107:11, Deuteronomy 9:10, Deuteronomy 12:28, Deuteronomy 17:19, Deuteronomy 27:3, Deuteronomy 28:58, Deuteronomy 29:29, Deuteronomy 31:12, Joshua 3:9, Joshua 24:26-27, 2 Chronicles 36:16, Ezra 9:4, Nehemiah 8:9, Jeremiah 5:14, Jeremiah 11:3, Jeremiah 19:15, Jeremiah 23:36, Jeremiah 30:2, Jeremiah 35:13, Jeremiah 39:16, Jeremiah 43:1, Ezekiel 12:28, Amos 8:11, Haggai 1:12, [his word(s)] Numbers 27:21, 1 Samuel 1:23, 2 Samuel 23:2, 1 Kings 2:4, 1 Kings 8:20, 2 Kings 1:16, 2 Chronicles 6:10, 2 Chronicles 10:15, Psalm 56:4, 10, Psalm 103:20, Psalm 105:19, 28, Psalm 106:24, Psalm 107:20, Psalm 130:5, Psalm 147:15, 18-19, Psalm 148:8, Jeremiah 20:9, Jeremiah 23:18, Lamentations 2:17, Joel 2:11
New Testament
Mark 7:13, Luke 3:2, Luke 4:4 (Matthew 4:4), Luke 5:1, Luke 8:11, 21, Luke 11:28, John 10:35, Acts 4:31, Acts 6:2, 7, Acts 8:14, Acts 11:1, Acts 12:24, Acts 13:5, 7, 44, 46, Acts 17:13, Act 18:11, Acts 19:20, Romans 9:6, Romans 10:17, 1 Corinthians 14:36, 2 Corinthians 2:17, 2 Corinthians 4:2, Ephesians 6:17, Colossians 1:25, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Timothy 4:5, 2 Timothy 2:9, Titus 2:5, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 6:5, Hebrews 11:3, Hebrews 13:7, 1 Peter 1:23, 2 Peter 3:5, 1 John 2:14, Revelation 1:2, 9, Revelation 6:9, Revelation 19:13, Revelation 20:4, Matthew 4:4, Luke 24:19, Acts 10:36, Acts 13:26, Acts 14:3, Acts 15:7, Acts 20:32, 2 Corinthians 5:19, 2 Corinthians 6:7, Colossians 3:17, 1 Thessalonians 1:8, 2 Timothy 2:15, [his word or words] Titus 1:3 John 8:47. Revelation 22:18-19, John 5:38, 1 John 1:10, James 1:18, 23
So what about the "Word of Jesus"?
....we have the DIRECT STATEMENT the "Word of Jesus" or "Word of Christ" or "My Word" when Jesus is the speaker. These appear 22 times in the text:
Matthew 26:75, Mark 10:24, Mark 14:72, Luke 10:39, Luke 24:19, John 2:22, John 4:50, John 8:31, John 15:20, Acts 19:10, Colossians 3:16, John 5:24 (with leeway; my word) John 8:31, 37, 43, John 12:48, 1 John 2:5 [his word(s)] Matthew 8:16, Luke 4:32, Luke 10:39, John 1:14, Hebrews 1:3, Hebrews 6:1
Interestingly Hebrews 6:1 shows how dishonest and biased the translators are, because no one is going to catch this unless they are digging. We have the same words in Hebrews 6:1 as in John 1:1: Arche Logos. Only in John 1:1 the Arche Logos is God's (Theos) and in Hebrews 6:1 the Arche Logos is Christos' (Jesus), which says you need to turn in faith "toward God". Jesus Christ speaks of His Father & God that you should turn to, and not of himself.
Jesus and his Disciples say that Jesus Word is really the Word Jesus' Father & God gave him:
Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4, John 14:24, Acts 8:22, Acts 10:36, Hebrews 1:1-2, John 15:20
Both Father & Son: You Need God and God’s Anointed, His name (Jesus) is called the Word of Theos, but on the timeline this is post crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, as Jesus has overcome death by the "Word of His God" (Revelation 19:13-18). If you are unclear on this, Jesus proclaims to have His God as YHWH, and he calls YHWH God & Father & also calls YHWH the Holy Spirit, and also calls YHWH "my God".
Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name (Revelation 3:12).
Is your God Jesus' Christ's God...or is Your God Jesus Christ?
Jesus' Father is God and Jesus is the Messiah
We also have the "Word of Moses" distinguished in the text 4 times:
Exodus 8:13, 31, Exodus 12:35, Exodus 32:28, Leviticus 10:7
And 1 Time the "Word of Samuel" to Israel: 1 Samuel 4:1
So we should be able to easily see that the text is heavily weighted toward the DIRECT STATEMENT that "The Word" we must pay attention to belongs to YHWH who gives it to His Prophets and His Son and His Christ to give to us.
2,348 Times the Word Elohim/God in the Old Testament is attributed to YHWH
Of 2,606 Times in the text, 2,348 Times are Attributed to GOD (YHWH-Father), and 258 are about god(s), H430.
Also El is used for GOD 52 Times, and only 5 of those times is used for other god(s) besides YHWH, so 47 times goes to YHWH.
Total Times the Word "God" is Used in the Old Testament is 2,658, of which only 263 reference other god(s), H433.
So when the word God is in the Old Testament, 2,395 of 2,658 times it refers to YHWH, meaning 90% of the time when you see the word god in the text in the Old Testament it refers to YHWH. The rest of the times the reference is regarding False God(s), or some "power-god" YHWH has appointed, like Moses, or Judges etc.
1,323 Times the word Theos/God appears in the New Testament
1,323 times are for Father-GOD, and 20x are for other god(s), or for the context of being like god, or going toward god. Places where G2316 are NOT the One True GOD: John 10:34, 35, Acts 7:40, 43, 12:22, 14:11, 19:26, 28:6, 1 Corinthians 8:5, 2 Corinthians 1:12 (godly), 3:4 (god-ward), 2 Corinthians 4:4 (Satan), 7:10-11 (godly), 11:2 (godly), Galatians 4:8, 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (god-ward), 1 Timothy 1:4 (godly), 3 John 1:6 (godly), G2316. So 98% of the time the word Theos in the New Testament is applicable to YHWH.
With the Old Testament and New Testament combined, 3,698 of 3,981 times the word "god" in the entire text refers to YHWH, which translates to 92.89%.
32 Times Elyown/Most High
Old Testament 53 times: 32 times are GOD/Elohim, 2 times are YHWH making those who keep his commandments High above all Nations, 19 times are high objects or places, H5945 (not high places bama H1116).
13 Times Hypsistos/Most High/Highest
New Testament, 13 Times, All for GOD the Father, and specifically help point to the real truth about “Who is Jesus' Father?“ This is the next step to seeing YHWH-YASHA's Father is in fact the Holy Spirit, as the term Highest and Most High are mixed in with Holy Spirit, like in Luke 1 where 60 times Jesus’ Father is referenced without ever using the word Father: Most High Holy Spirit: Matthew 21:9, Mark 5:7, 11:10, Luke 1:32, 35, 76, 2:14, 6:35, 8:28, 19:38, Acts 7:48, 16:17, Hebrews 7:1; these verses alone tell the story, G5310.
57 Times Almighty
Old Testament 48 Times, Shaddai(y) is Always w/Most High, God, or YHWH with key verses that make a separation and clarify Who’s Who in the Kingdom of God, H7706 (Job 33:4, Isaiah 13:6, Joel 1:15).
New Testament 9 Times, Pantokrator (2 Corinthians 6:18, Revelation 1:8, 4:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 14, 19:15, 21:22), THE FATHER, key word here "Pantokrator", works out Who’s Who in the Kingdom of God in Revelation quite easily, G3841.
Even the context that the Son of God has been given all authority does not eliminate or exclude God the Father's Absolute Rule. We can see plenty of evidence for this in the Bible, but we will just show this truth in a narrative form here from Paul:
But now Christ is risen from the dead, [and] has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man [came] death, by man also [came] the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those [who are] Christ's at His coming. Then [comes] the end, when he (Jesus) delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when he (Jesus) puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For he (Jesus) must reign till he (Jesus) has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy [that] will be destroyed [is] death. For "He (YHWH) has put all things under His feet." But when He (YHWH) says "all things are put under [Him]," [it is] evident that He (YHWH) who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to him (Jesus), then the Son himself (Jesus) will also be subject to Him (YHWH) who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:20-28
So look if you don't get this above, that Paul did NOT believe Jesus was equal to the Father, or that Paul did NOT think that Jesus is God, then you just don't believe what is written. I know I know...John 1:1 is what most of you have to say, and that's because you have been deceived into disobedience, believing something that is NOT written in the New Testament, but taught as a lame tradition for almost two millennia!
Therefore you should repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand (Coming Soon), because you don't want to get caught naked or ashamed at the parade.
So what about the 10 verses in the New Testament that prove God the Father is the Absolute Ruler?
Despotēs , Absolute Ruler, wherefrom we get the like-kind word in English "Despot". The modern connotation is that a Despot is usually unusually cruel and oppressive. And if you knew the One and Only True God you might find him to be just that, but the truth is even in YHWH's wrath he is just and fair, and he is longsuffering and gives many chances for men everywhere to repent. So if you get cast into the Lake of Fire along with death and hell, then you must fairly be destroyed, according the "Logos of YHWH Elohim the Holy Spirit who is the Holy One of Israel the Almighty Pantokrator Despotēs .
Despotēs 10 Times in the New Testament, an absolute ruler or master, translated 5 times as Lord and 5 times as master, and a perfect example of word magic-magick; used of a Lord or THE LORD when combined with monos like in Jude v4.
The Super Key Father-God verses are underlined [Luke 2:29, Acts 4:24, 1 Timothy 6:1-2, 2 Timothy 2:21, Titus 2:9, 1 Peter 2:18, 2 Peter 2:1, Jude 1:4 (two main heresies are right here, but only one of them in textus receptus Byzantine family, not in Alexandrian family, and you can see in CSB and ESV and NLT how the words change the meaning), and finally Revelation 6:10].
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord (Despotace), you [are] God (Theos), which has made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that is in them (Acts 4:24).
Jesus was and is NOT able to save without his Father & God first existing, and his Father planning from the Foundation of the World to send His Son at the Appointed Time. In fact the whole concept of YHWH's desire to save us from sin is the very meaning of his Son's name which is YHWH-YASHA. Jesus' (Yahowshuah) name is literally YHWH-SAVES. Even in his name Jesus (Yahowshuah) is dependent upon his Father to save, like when Father-God-who is the Holy Spirit raised Jesus (Yahowshuah) from the dead.
Here are the 55 Verses where it states YHWH is the Redeemer:
Exodus 6:6, Leviticus 27:28, Numbers 3.51, Numbers 18:15, Deuteronomy 7:8, Deuteronomy 9:26, Deuteronomy 13:5, Deuteronomy 15:15, Deuteronomy 21:8, Deuteronomy 24:18, 2 Samuel 4:9, 1 Kings 1:29, Psalm 19:14, Psalm 31:5, Psalm 34:22, Psalm 107:2, Psalm 111:9-10, Psalm 130:7, Isaiah 29:22, Isaiah 41:14, Isaiah 43:1, Isaiah 43:14, Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 44:23, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 47:4, Isaiah 48:17, Isaiah 48:20, Isaiah 49:7, Isaiah 49:26, Isaiah 51:11, Isaiah 52:9, Isaiah 54:5, Isaiah 54:8, Isaiah 59:20, Isaiah 60:16, Isaiah 62:12, Isaiah 63:16, Jeremiah 31:11, Jeremiah 32:8, Jeremiah 50:34, Lamentations 3:58, Micah 4:10, Luke 1:68, Luke 2:38, Luke 21:28, Romans 3:24, Romans 8:23, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Ephesians 1:7, Ephesians 1:14, Ephesians 4:30, Colossians 1:14, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:15
YHWH is the Ultimate Almighty Redeemer, and His Son is the Preeminent Messiah who by his Agency lived the sinless life and gave himself as a sacrifice, because God the Father requires a blood sacrifice to atone for Man's sin. Sin came into the world by one Man-Adam, and YHWH Redeemed Mankind through His Son the Man Jesus Christ.
Maybe you've only ever heard that Jesus is Savior? How do you explain that?
Consider this passage:
"Thus says YHWH to His anointed (Messiah), to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held--to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: 'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, YHWH, Who call [you] by your name, [am] the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant's sake, And Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I [am] YHWH, and [there is] no other God besides Me (Isaiah 45:1-5).
These two verses generally convey the overall context:
...the angel of the Lord [YHWH] appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:20-21).
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. Of this man's seed has God according to [his] promise raised unto Israel a Savior, Jesus: (Act 13:22-23).
This is the storyline of the Bible:
YHWH Father God saves His chosen people by his Only Begotten Son, whom he first conceived in Mary in keeping His own (YHWH's) promises and prophecies to bring forth a Savior, and then begat from the dead unto everlasting life. This ultimately makes Our Father who is in Heaven THE REDEEMER & SAVIOR, as he is the cause all the way around for His Christ's authority and power.
So says YHWH through the prophet Isaiah: You [are] my witnesses, says YHWH, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God (Elohim) formed, neither shall there be after me. I, [even] I, [am] YHWH; and beside me [there is] no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore you [are] my witnesses, says YHWH, that I [am] God (Isaiah 43:10-12).
Read through these Jesus Christ Savior Verses, and see YHWH works through Jesus (Yahowshuah)
Matthew 1:21, Luke 2:11, Luke 23:35, John 4:42, Acts 13:23, Acts 15:11, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, Ephesians 2:4-5, Ephesians 5:23, Philippians 3:20, 1 Timothy 1:1, 2 Timothy 1:10, Titus 1:4, Titus 2:13, 1 Peter 3:21, 2 Peter 1:1, 11, 2 Peter 2:20, 2 Peter 3:18
If you disagree, show me ONE VERSE that says "Christ Alone" or "Jesus Alone" like you can find verses that say "YHWH Alone" or where YHWH says "I Alone". You cannot; because the context does not exist. No one can do anything alone, including Christ, because nothing or no one even exists without God, and that includes YHWH's Son. Maybe rewrite the song as YHWH Alone by and through Christ Jesus...then you'll be on to something righteous and holy, rather than singing Christ Alone as if Jesus' Father doesn't exist. I know I know, you are upset because you disagree, maybe because you are too busy singing songs that are full of doctrinal errors, like the song "Christ Alone". This song is so creedal to the "Christian Religion", yet so contrary to the Teachings of Christ and the Word of YHWH.
Certainly there is ONE WAY to God and that is through Jesus Christ! But that does not mean Jesus did it Alone all by himself, THE WAY is Jesus to the Father.
Jesus Christ exists because of YHWH. YHWH is the cause of Jesus Christ, and all of those calling themselves His People deny this significant truth to the extent they are breaking YHWH's commandment "Not to have any Gods before YHWH".
A major key note in understanding what is written is that you cannot soundly make something be in the Bible just because you think it is so. You cannot, by your faith, change the narrative. In fact if your faith is outside the narrative, then at minimum you are missing out on certain elements that bring blessings to life, and at maximum you may have a false premise for your salvation. May God and Jesus the Messiah grant you grace and mercy at the judgment.
Now a word from Jude (whose name really is Judas but not Iscariot):
To the only wise God our Savior, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen (Jude 1:25).
Jesus is Savior because of YHWH and because he obeyed his God & Father YHWH.
It's best you repent and give God the Father the Glory he deserves, and then you may be able to give Jesus Christ the proper glory he deserves.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy [be] upon them, and upon the Israel of God (Galatians 6:15-16).
The New Covenant is based on Circumcision of the Heart: Deuteronomy 10:16, Deuteronomy 30:6, Jeremiah 32:38-39, Ezekiel 18:31, Ezekiel 36:26-27, Ezekiel 11:19, Romans 2:29. And while this is the basis of the New Covenant, the New Circumcised Heart is nothing new for it was in The Law to begin with, and it is directly connected to the Greatest Commandment in Deuteronomy 6:4-6. The Administration is what has changed.
Some will shout" "Replacement Theology is from the Devil". But that's because those yelling this do not know well what is written and have a fine way of putting down the truth for traditions.
It was always in YHWH's law that there was one law in Israel for the blood born and for the foreigner:
Leviticus 24:22, Leviticus 17:10, Leviticus 19:34, Exodus 12:49, Numbers 9:14, Numbers 15:15-16, 29 (P.S. that law is NOT Judaism).
The Nations have been Grafted Into the Same Tree (Romans 11).
Either you believe or you don't, and your bloodline and heritage have no merit whatsoever.

YHWH is the God of Israel and Jesus is the Messiah of Israel, and those who choose to be in covenant relationship with YHWH through Christ Jesus are the Israel of God.
P.S. Israel is not made up of Jews Alone! Judah was just one of 12 tribes.
The opposition to this following concept is probably the most perplexing reality within the Christian Religion.
Apparently nobody knows that YHWH is THE MOST HOLY? This is because Pastors are too focused on the Trinity (Or the Twinity) to notice Who is Who in the Kingdom of God.
And frankly this waters down the gospel to the point where there is little effectiveness in the church today because of the tradition of men.
So let us first establish WHAT is HOLY: Means to be sacred; as to be apart from all other things. That ONE ENTITY that is MOST HOLY ABOVE ALL is GOD the FATHER who has the name YHWH (Yahowah). There is no other. Now for the True Believer, if you are walking in Holiness and The Way, i.e. if you are walking in the Set-Apart Spirit, then you are walking in the Spirit of Holiness according to the "example of Jesus Christ". Jesus walks in Holiness according to his Father and his God's ways. Jesus does not walk in his own ways.
So God the Father is The Most Holy, and then anyone else who walks in holiness must walk in the ways of the Father, just like Christ walked.
[There is] none holy as YHWH: for [there is] none beside you: neither [is there] any rock like our God (1 Samuel 2:2).
Here are 31 Direct Verses + 9 More References that Prove YHWH is the Holy One of Israel

Now if you want to argue with David, and Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and Samuel and so on, go right ahead, but I would not advise such foolishness. I would suggest if you want to argue with the prophets that you have some religion that is not Biblical.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of YHWH of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 5:20-24).
So then let us go on to this business of the Holy Spirit and define Who and What that is?
If you happen to be the best at something worldwide, then you would have picked up an Epithet on your journey. Not only might you think of yourself in the context of such an Epithet, but so would your followers!
You may have only heard of some of these below by their Epithets, not even knowing their real name, or who they are. Here are some examples of Epithets:.
Ivan IV Vasilyevich: Ivan the Terrible
Abraham Lincoln: Honest Abe
Al Capone: Scarface
Alexander III of Macedon: Alexander the Great
André René Roussimoff: Andre the Giant
Bill Clinton: Slick Willie or Bubba
Bruce Springsteen: The Boss
Elvis Presley: King of Rock and Roll
John Wayne: The Duke
Michael Jackson: King of Pop
Michael Jordan: Air Jordan
Mother Teresa: Saint of the Gutters
Muhammed Ali: The Greatest of All Time
Richard Nixon: Tricky Dick
William Frederick Cody: Buffalo Bill
Wilt Chamberlain: Wilt the Stilt
As far as Our Father in Heaven, he has a few Epithets in the Scripture, and one of those is the Holy Spirit (aka The Spirit). The Holy Spirit is not some third person of the Trinity. This most common interpretation of the Scripture is absolute nonsense. God Himself is the Holy Spirit, who has His Holy Spirit, and who shares His Holy Spirit. Even what we might refer to as an impartation of His Spirit is not a separation of the state of His Spirit, but rather a connected extension of His Holy Spirit. He is everywhere and anywhere by His Spirit, even in your breath.
This is covered in great detail on a page on this website called " The Holy Spirit". Below are just a few notes on this conclusion that Father-God is The Holy Spirit:
Acts 28:25-27 quoted from Isaiah 6:9-10 (see detail on Father Holy Spirit, Part 1, Page 3)
Hebrews 3:7-11 quoted from Psalm 95:6-11, Key in v6, 9-10 (see Father Holy Spirit, Part 6, Page 2)
Hebrews 10:15-18 quoted from Jeremiah 31:33-34 (see Father Holy Spirit, Part 6, Page 3)
Also Note in Hebrews 10:28-31 the Epithet "the spirit of grace" (Deuteronomy 32:35-36)
Acts 1:16-20 quoted from Psalm 69.25, Psalm 109:8
Considering that Preceding Verses Point to the Holy Spirit being the Speaker, then which One is Ultimately the Speaker in these Following Verses?
Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29, Revelation 3:6, 13, 22 (as the Spirit Says Seven Times)
All Subjects that Could Possibly be Speaking are in Revelation 1:1-2
Which One is The Spirit: God, Jesus, Angel, John, Saints? The answer is in the first line of Revelation: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants. God is The Spirit.
Also there is this Business of Being Possessed by YHWH's Spirit. Please don't say you believe that it's okay to be possessed by "another spirit" besides the Spirit of the Living God?
Possessed by YHWH as His Spirit Enters
Ezekiel 2:2, 3:14, 24, 37:14
Isaiah 59:21, Ezekiel 11:1-5, Ezekiel 37:14, Joel 2:28, Zechariah 4:6
And there is the Process of Speaking by the Spirit, or in the Spirit, which is Synonymous with the Holy Spirit. Here is an Example: Matthew 22:43 "David in spirit says" then Mark 12:36 "David by the Holy Spirit says", in reference to Psalm 110:1.
This is Christ's Teaching Here, and so it's not smart to deny the One who has been appointed Master!
One of the Key teachings of Jesus Christ and the New Testament is the "Body is the Temple of God".
You can see a more detailed explanation of this in The Holy Spirit series on The Holy Spirit page of this website (see the section on Spiritual Confusion). If you are a believer in the One True God, then you will have the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of His Christ dwelling in you. If not, then you may have the spirit of an unclean spirit(s).
YHWH's people are to have the Right Spirit and Pay Forward this Right Spirit
27 Times "Forwarding the Spirit"

The bottom line is you definitely want the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, which is God's selfsame spirit; God is exclusively Spirit. Here are multiple ways of finding this Righteous Spirit in the text using various terms. These are all about YHWH's Holy Spirit:
