GOD THE FATHER

In Matthew 5:48
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect."

In Matthew 6:1
"...otherwise ye have no reward of your Father
which is in heaven."

In Matthew 7:21
"Not every one that sayeth unto me (Jesus), Lord
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven:but
he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven."


N.B. The word 'Lord' here was translated as Rabb in
the Arabic version of the Bible so that people may be
convinced that Jesus is God? But if one studies the
rest of the verse, one will note, that the verse bears
testimony to the subservience (to God's Will) of the
Messiah (Jesus). Therefore the correct translation
should be:

"Not every one that sayest to me, O my Master,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
It is obvious from the above reading from the Bible
that the term 'Father' is used for God in numerous
places in the Bible. It is never used exclusively for
Jesus.

Matthew 11:25
"At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank
Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because
Thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent and has revealed them unto babes."

JESUS CHRISTOS
