Trinitarian: How can Jesus be God if he has a God?
Rev. 3:11-12 kjv Behold, I come quickly: hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 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 cometh down out of heaven from MY God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Matt. 27:46 MY God, MY God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 20:17 I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to MY God, and your God.
Paul Eph. 1:3 Blessed be the "God" AND Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Paul Eph. 1:17: That the "God" of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Father of glory, ‘may give unto you’ the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Very good Scriptures proving that Jesus' God is our God too.--John 20:17---These Scriptures plainly tell us that Jesus is not Almighty God or a trinitarian god as the Catholic church teaches and has gotten others to believe. In fact, just a little research will tell us where that teaching came from. I invite you to learn more about what the Bible teaches from the international website, www.jw.org and Bible Teachings > Online Lessons. Thank you for this question.
Jesus was also a man, and as such worshipped His Father in Heaven, in order to demonstrate to us what we as humans should be doing. He also continuously did things that demonstrated that He was God.
Valid question, and answer came in the revelation from Allah to his final messenger pbuh. Allah says in the Quran: 5:72 - 73
"Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. "
So what if you read a book? Satan quotes scripture too. The word 'trinity' isn't in the Bible and the word Bible isn't in the Bible: it doesn't have to be. We know what we know by REVELATION.
Your problem - your lack of understanding - can't be fixed by reading it. You must know the author of it to understand. What general would give away war strategy to the enemy? God is not His own traitor. He doesn't share His secrets with His enemies, Gloria. That's why you have no peace in your life. It's all an act and we know it. There is no such thing as peace without reconciliation through Jesus. As it stands you remain His enemy.
To become His ally, you must repent and seek mercy. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He can't help you unless you are HONEST... completely honest with yourself about yourself. Why? Because He only operates in the realm of truth.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
That exclusive statement by Jesus rules out all man-made efforts to get to God, and therefore, ultimately, heaven.
The way to God is a PERSON, not a religion.
"I am the way." "I am the door." "I am the gate."
Test these claims Jesus made about Himself, Gloria.
He is the only way into God's Kingdom: Jesus is the one and only real-life PORTAL into this spiritual dimention... a fourth dimention. His kingdom on earth. The cross is a spiritual 'black hole' for the world's sins, crimes and evil. Any organization that makes the (ridiculous) claim "You need Jesus PLUS US to get to heaven." is not from God. Jesus is all you will ever, ever need.
"Come to me all you who are burdened and weary and I will give you rest for your souls. Take My yoke upon you; for My burden is easy, and My yoke is light."
Do this and live.. Do it today. Tomorrow may be too late.
