Jesus (Yehoshua) worshiped the Father
Mainstream Christians think that Jesus (Yehoshua) was the creator of the Israelites and the world. Jesus (Yehoshua) never claimed to be YHWH. He always prayed to and preached that the Jews knew who they worshiped, and they worshiped the Father (YHWH).
John 4:21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Jesus (Yehoshua) says God (YHWH) is Spirit and true worshippers will worship Him in spirit and in truth, and he equates “God” with “the Father” using the same “in spirit and in truth” language for both. He also said his Father (and ours) is the only true God in John 17:3. And he is saying that his Father (and God) is the same Father (and God) of the Jews when he says “we” in reference to “the Jews.” He’s claiming to be a Jew, and speaking for all Jews, when he says, “we know what we worship.”
There are some people who claim that the “Jesus” in scriptures claims to have a different father than the Jews, but they’d have to ignore those verses to make that claim. He’s saying to her, “We, the Jews, know what we worship; we worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” For more information on that you can see the video “Jesus’s God was Israel’s God “YHWH”. He did NOT preach that YHWH was the demiurge.”
All Original Scriptures Show YHWH is the Father
The bible states that YHWH is Israel’s Father. It always talks about the “sons of God” “children of God” and claims YHWH is their Father.
Never once does it say “God the Son.” or “God the Holy Spirit “. In fact many times in the openings of letters in the NT it speaks of “the Father God” and our “lord Jesus” (lord doesn’t mean creator) and they never mention the Holy Spirit. That’s because the Holy Spirit is the Father’s spirit that gets poured out onto all of His children. It’s not separate from the Father. It’s like you talking about your flesh… you might say, “My flesh is weak,” but it’s not a separate person from you, it’s still your flesh. YHWH’s spirit is not separate from Him, it’s just how He creates and speaks to us.
Scriptures Saying YHWH is our Father, and We Are His children

Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the FATHER; but go to my brethren, and say to them, ‘I ascend to my FATHER and your FATHER, and my GOD and your GOD.’” (John 20:17)
According to Jesus (Yehoshua) our God is his Father, the only true God (John 17:3).
In Luke 3:38 Adam is called the “son of God” – the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
And we have seen and testify that the FATHER has sent His son to be the savior of the world. If anyone confesses that Jesus is the SON of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:14-15
Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His son. 10 Whoever believes in the son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about His SON. And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His son. 1 John 5:9-11
1 John 3:1-10 talks about us all being CHILDREN of God, with God’s seed (sperma) inside of us.
1 John 5:1 says we’re begotten of God, and uses the same word (Strong’s 1080) for Jesus (Yehoshua) being begotten of God.
In Revelation 21:7 we see YHWH saying everyone who overcomes will be called a child of God.
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. (Revelation 21:6-7)
That verse applies to our Messiah too, since Messiah said he had to overcome, and he also says we will have the exact same authority as he does when we overcome. (Revelation 3:21)
And we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true and we are in Him that is true, even in HIS son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols. (1 John 5:20-21)
The true God has a son named Jesus (Yehoshua). Jesus (Yehoshua) doesn’t have a son named Jesus (Yehoshua), thus he’s not the true God. Guard yourselves from idols… Only the Father of Jesus (Yehoshua) and Israel is the true God according the scriptures.
The apostles creed in 120 AD said, “I believe in God the Father Almighty” with no mention of any other gods.
Jesus (Yehoshua) prayed to and worshiped the Father, we should have the same God that he did. The Hebrews prayed to and worshiped the Father of Israel, and that was the same God that Jesus (Yehoshua) worshiped.
