There is one sent by God who is God’s own son. He is appointed to rule such that only God the Father will not be subject to him. All else will be subject to him. If you say this makes him God, then fine. But the Father is still greater and Jesus will forever be subject to the Father, not the other way around. This means the Father is more God than Jesus is. The Father is more God than any other being in existence, and this is always going to be true. Confessing this gives glory to both that Father and the Son because it is true glory and not invented glory or glory built on error. If you are looking for the God who is one and is forever God, there is one true God who is God forever and this is the Father who sent Jesus to be the light of the world. Jesus is the Lord, the Christ, the Son of this One True God forever. Jesus proclaims that we must abandon lying and if we obey him we are giving him the glory due to him, becoming subject to him as the Father wills. Better to do so willingly than to be forcefully subjected to him in truth as a footstool for his feet when he comes. He will look for faithfulness to his teachings when he comes. This is to the Father’s glory.
