Matthew 28:19

In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus was speaking to his eleven disciples specifically. The chosen witnesses of Jesus taught accordingly as is seen in the Acts- Acts 2, Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 19. The disciples were to teach them to observe all that Jesus had commanded them and the disciples obeyed Jesus. The apostles’ (the real chosen witnesses) believed Jesus about his Father being greater than him and being his God-John 7:15-18, John 8:40,54, John 10:29-36, John 12:49-50, John 14:28, John 15:10, John 20:16-17. They taught that the God of our Lord Jesus raised him from the dead-Ephesians 1:17-23, Acts 3:13-15, Acts 17:31, Romans 10:9-10. According to the apostles and Jesus himself, Jesus is not coequal with his Father who is his own God-Micah 5:2-4, Hebrews 1:8-9, Revelation 3:11-12/Revelation 21. Jesus is truly the son of the Most High, his Father is The Living God-Malachi 2:10, Matthew 16:16, John 3:16, John 20:31, 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10. Jesus’ God made him Lord and Christ and his God is the Highest, and is the only true God as Jesus believes it-John 17:3, Acts 2:36, 2Corinthians 11:31, Ephesians 1:3, 1Peter 1:3, 1 John 5:20. In Matthew 28:19, according to Jesus, the Father is the only true God. There are not three who are the true God, we must believe that our Lord Jesus is correct at all times because he is- Isaiah 45:18, Psalm 83:18, Romans 15:6.
