An exclusive category

Because my thirst for self flagellation apparently knows no bounds. I've been looking at what Christendom's theologians call the threeness oneness problem of the trinity, i.e how can God be three and yet one? The usual fudge is to state that term 'God' as applied to each of the three persons subsisting within the shared essence is an adjective and not a count noun but that the God in which they all simultaneously subsist and with whom/what(?) they are supposedly numerically identical is indeed a concrete reality. I reject the Characterisation of the issue. 

The issue is one of identity not primarily arithmetic

 according to the scripture. There is one God who is entitled to exclusive Devotion. 

Deuteronomy5:6,7ASV"6I am JEHOVAH thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.


7Thou shalt have no other gods before me." 

Psalm83:18ASV"18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth."

Thus there is a person who alone is entitled to our absolute devotion to the exclusion of all others i.e anyone/anything not identical to said person. The issue then is who is this person. Once we have identified this person all others would be excluded from the category of most high God by definition. The scriptures make it clear that this one is both a God and the God thus one cannot be identical to this one and not be a God as Christendom's theologians senselessly claim about the members of their triune God. In scripture ONLY the God of Jesus Christ i.e JEHOVAH is ever referred to as the God without qualification. And is definitely a God.

Deuteronomy5:9SSV"9thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I, JEHOVAH, thy God, am A jealous God," 

Thus the claim that the God and Father of Jesus Christ is not a God in his own right is Falsified. Indeed he is the only God entitled to our absolute devotion.
