Scripture teaches this, and we learn this truth as we believe Jesus is the light sent by God, holding to his teachings: There are many called gods in scripture. These are called the sons of the Most High. Then there is the Father of these sons, the Most High Himself. Jesus is the primary of these sons of the Most High. He is not the Most High. He is the Lord who is the one and only set-apart Son. The Most High has anointed him as Lord, King and Judge over all these sons of the Most High, in heaven, and all sons of the Most High here on earth. This is most marked in the surpassing joy given him by the Most High in his resurrection from the dead, after Jesus suffered and died for the sins not his own. It is the Most High Himself who alone says with utmost authority “I am God”. He alone imparts authority to all who the scripture calls gods, and He alone imparts authority to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now the Most High sends the Holy Spirit to those who believe in His Son, so that they may learn this truth and follow the teachings which are in accordance with this truth, as they are built up together into being part of the Temple of the Most High.
