Liz on Quora had this to say… “Jesus wasn't a god: He was and is God the Son. God is not a name it's a title. You can read it for yourself in Scripture. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three Persons in the GODHEAD. The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit have the same Divinity under the Godhead. John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD. That makes Jesus the creator of the Universe. Nowhere did Jesus pray to God when He was on Earth, He always prayed to the Father. He also told His disciples to do the same, when they pray they must say “ Our Father which art in Heaven. Hallowed be thy Name… thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven… Jesus was with God the Father; before the foundations of the earth were laid.. read it in the Book of Genesis .. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the life, No one comes to the Father (it doesn't say comes to God) except by Me. Jesus also said in Scripture “Before Abraham was; I AM.” He was called “ My Lord and my GOD.” see Scripture.. There are many false churches rising up in this hour, who deny the true Word of God and have altered the Bible, which is Not the true Bible, but a different bible from the one we use. Jesus warns us against false teachers and falseprophets, that will pop up in the end days to take those who are not prepared and lead them astray. Stay vigilant Satan is out to destroy the Word of God for fake doctrines. Keep your eyes and ears on God alone. We use the NKJV.”

So now, here is my direct, Scriptural response from the NKJV, addressing the original statement point by point while letting the verses stand together without added labels or later terms. First, I would like to point out that I am not a Jesus-only Christian. So, please read carefully. Let's get started.

Liz says, “Jesus is not 'a god.” However, John 1:1 says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14 says: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” 1 Timothy 3:16 says: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.”

Colossians 2:9 says: “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”

John 1:3 says: “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”

Jesus was truly a man. 1 Timothy 2:5 says: “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”

Hebrews 2:14 says: “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.”

Philippians 2:7-8 says: “but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”

Scripture says there is one God. Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!” Isaiah 45:5: “I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.” 1 Corinthians 8:6: “Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” Scripture identifies the Father as God.

John 17:3: “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Ephesians 4:6: “one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

Scripture calls Jesus the Son of God, the Son of Man, and the Child who is born.

Matthew 16:16: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Luke 1:35: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.”

Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given… And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Jesus came from the Father and returned to the Father.

John 16:28: “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

John 13:3: “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God.”

Jesus prayed to the Father.

Matthew 26:39: “He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, ‘O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.’”

John 17:1: “Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: ‘Father…’”

The disciples were taught to pray to the Father: Matthew 6:9: “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”

Jesus is the way to the Father. John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” Jesus existed before Abraham and shared glory with the Father before the world was. John 8:58: “Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.’” John 17:5: “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

All things were made through Him.

Colossians 1:16-17: “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible… All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”

The Man Jesus is called God, yet He has a God. Here, Jesus is speaking as the Son of Man… John 20:28: “And Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”

Hebrews 1:8: “But to the Son He says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever…’”

John 20:17: “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”

Ephesians 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…” Here, shows the humanity of Christ, who took away the sins of the world and placed them on His own shoulders so that we may live in Him.

The Holy Spirit is sent by the Father in Jesus’ name and is called the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ. John 14:26: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name…”John 15:26: “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father…” Romans 8:9: “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.”John 4:24: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

At the baptism, all three are present together: Matthew 3:16-17: “Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’”

The Son now intercedes at the right hand of God. Romans 8:34: “It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” Hebrews 7:25: “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

In the end, the Son Himself will be subject to the Father. 1 Corinthians 15:28: “Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”

Scripture commands testing every teaching. 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God…” Acts 17:11: “These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” The NKJV presents Jesus as the Word who was God and became flesh, the Son given and Child born who is called Mighty God, the One through whom all things were made, the Mediator who is both Man and called God, the One who prays to the Father and now intercedes at His right hand, the One from whom and to whom the Holy Spirit is sent, and the One through whom we come to the Father. Read the full chapters together and let Scripture interpret Scripture. Stay anchored in the plain words of the Bible.

Here is a Scripture-only reply (NKJV) that directly answers that statement, letting the text stand without added terms.

Summary from Scripture:

One God. The Father is called the only true God. The Word was God and became flesh. Jesus is the Son, the Man, the Mediator. He prays to the Father, is sent by the Father, and returns to the Father. The Spirit proceeds from the Father and is sent in Jesus’ name. All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ. Do not add beyond what is written. Test all things by Scripture.

The initial statement presents several verses that must be read in light of the entire New King James Version. When we let the text speak plainly, we find a consistent pattern: there is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things exist. John 1:1 and 1:3 establish that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and that all things were made through Him. Verse 14 completes this by stating that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. This identifies the Word—who is God—as the only begotten of the Father. Scripture thus presents both identity (as the Word was God) and relationship (as the Word was with God).

In John 17:3, Jesus distinguishes between the Father as the "only true God" and Himself as the one sent by the Father. In that same prayer, He refers to the glory He shared with the Father before the world was created. This relationship is further clarified in 1 Timothy 2:5, which identifies the Man Christ Jesus as the one Mediator between God and men. This aligns with the prophecy in Isaiah 9:6, which describes a Child being born and a Son being given, yet specifically gives Him the name "Mighty God" and "Everlasting Father."

God's simultaneous activity is clearly demonstrated in the baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3:16-17. Here, the Son stands in the water, the Spirit of God descends like a dove, and the voice of the Father speaks from heaven. These are not sequential modes, but simultaneous manifestations of the one God. This functional distinction continues after the resurrection; while John 4:24 states that God is Spirit, Romans 8:34 and Hebrews 7:25 describe the risen Christ at the right hand of God, always living to make intercession for us.

Regarding the Holy Spirit, Jesus tells His disciples in John 14 and 15 that the Father will send the Helper in His name, and that He Himself will also send the Spirit from the Father. Acts 2:4 shows the believers being filled with this Spirit, and 1 Corinthians 12:11 explains that this one and the same Spirit works all things, distributing gifts according to His will. This Spirit is identified as both the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.

Colossians 2:9 provides the definitive summary, stating that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. While the fullness of God is located in Christ, the scriptures still show Him in relationship to the Father, such as being raised by the Father or sitting at His right hand. This allows the confession of Thomas in John 20:28—"My Lord and my God!"—and Jesus’s own declaration in John 8:58—"Before Abraham was, I AM"—to stand alongside the many verses in which He addresses the Father.

The Bible warns us in Matthew 24 and 2 Peter 2 to stay vigilant against false prophets and destructive heresies. By staying in the plain words of the NKJV—including John 1, John 14-17, Matthew 3, and Colossians 1-2—we see a God who is one, a Word who is God and became flesh, and a Spirit that proceeds from the Father to testify of the Son. We are called to keep our eyes and ears on what the Scripture itself says, avoiding the addition of non-scriptural labels and focusing on the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as they are revealed in the text.
