The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct beings and only the Father is the Most High God. Jesus and the Father, are not the same divine being functioning in distinct roles. The distinctions made by Jesus imply separate persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, rather than distinct functions within a unified being. The relational dynamics between Jesus and the Father are not to be understood as roles within the one divine being but rather as distinct beings united in the same way that believers should be united, such as how Peter was united with Paul and John. God's singular personhood is due to the fact He is indeed one person, the Father, and the Lord, Jesus, is His Son, the Christ who has been sent by Him. God is a single person, the Father, and His manifestations have been first through prophets, and then, eventually, through His Son, each having they sent by Him, and thus they manifested Him by giving the world His light. The Father alone is the Most High God. Jesus might be regarded as a god, but is not the Most High God.
