This teaching argues that the Bible consistently identifies God as the Father and Jesus as the Lord and Savior, emphasizing their distinct roles rather than the traditional concept of the Trinity. The supporting scriptural references emphasize the unity of purpose and identity between the Father and Jesus, underscoring the Father as the one God and Jesus Christ as the one Lord.
Jesus Christ, as the mediator between God and humanity, provides grace, mercy, and peace by His role as Lord and Savior, having authority over the human race and serving as the eternal connection to God the Father. Through faith in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, believers are offered hope and are considered joint-heirs if they endure with Him, as there is one God and one mediator, illustrated through the unity and purpose of God the Father and Jesus Christ in the scriptures.

God IS the Father, Jesus is the LORD

Have you ever been confused by the teachings of Man? I have. Over the course of history men have taken the Bible and created, ostensibly out of wanting to help others, things the rest of the world are expected to accept and believe. One of them is what is called the Trinity. God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit. These three are one.
There are elements of the Trinity I really don’t mind. But there are things about it that not only don’t speak to me, they are countered in scripture. For instance, scripture is pretty clear that there is one God and he is called the Father. And that there is one Lord and Savior, and he is called Jesus.
Biblical References
Let me prove this from scripture. What am I proving? That scripture teaches that GOD is the Father and that Jesus is Lord and Savior.
