Jesus has a God and Father

Phase 1 ─── Revelation 1:6 ─── “Priests to His God”

│ → Establishes priestly subordination
│ → Yeshua has a God distinct from Himself

Phase 2 ─── Revelation 3:12 ─── “My God… My God”

│ → Emphatic repetition in glorification context
│ → Yeshua retains subjection even post-resurrection

Phase 3 ─── John 14:28 ─── “Father is Greater”

│ → Explicit declaration of hierarchy
│ → Cannot be reduced to incarnation-only dynamic

Phase 4 ─── John 17:3 ─── “Only True God”

│ → Ontological distinction between Sender and Sent
│ → Yeshua not included as part of the “Only True God”

Phase 5 ─── John 20:17 ─── “My God and Your God”

│ → Post-resurrection affirmation of separate divine reference
│ → Refutes Trinitarian claim of unified divine identity

Phase 6 ─── 1 Corinthians 15 ─── “God All in All”

│ → Final eschatological subjection
│ → Eternal hierarchy, not temporary role
