Assessing my own interpretation of scriptures

 Personally I find a straightforward interpretation of the scriptures to be fully consistent with a view that only the Father is the Most High God, with Jesus as His subordinate Son and the Holy Spirit as His presence or power. On the other hand, the Trinitarian view sees scriptures as indicating a shared divine essence among three co-equal persons. Mine recognises the distinct roles and hierarchy, maintaining monotheism with the Father as the sole supreme deity. Both my own interpretation and the Trinitarian one use theological constructs to explain the biblical data, but we arrive at different conclusions about the nature of God and the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
