Jesus' omnitarian Manifesto
Following Jesus and Embracing God’s Eternal Nature
In a world of diverse beliefs, theological frameworks, and traditions, people strive to understand God’s nature but often fall into error. Human attempts to define or categorize God’s omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence often lead to blasphemous or sinful limitations, rooted in the constraints of human logic.
When we speak about God’s nature in terms that are partial, incomplete, or finite, we risk speaking falsely and sinning, even unknowingly.
Jesus warns us:
“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:36-37
We believe that people must not give definitions about God’s nature, in human terms. Instead, we affirm what He has revealed to us in Scripture. God’s self-revelation, summed up in the declaration:
“I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14)
teaches us that God IS — in limited human terms: eternally and completely beyond human comprehension.
As Jesus’ omnitarians, we humbly accept that:
- We cannot fully comprehend God’s nature.
- We cannot use human definitions to explain God's nature.
- We affirm only what God has revealed to us in Scripture.
This approach does not seek to define God's nature, but instead honors His eternal mystery and unchanging “I AM”.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:8-9
Core Beliefs of Jesus' omnitarian Perspective
From God’s revelations in Scripture, we affirm the following (limited only by our humble understanding):
God IS One
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” - Deuteronomy 6:4
God IS Eternal
“Before the mountains were born… from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” - Psalm 90:2
God IS Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” - Luke 1:37
“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” - Psalm 139:7 "How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out." - Job 36:26
God IS Love
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” - 1 John 4:8
God IS Holy
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty.” - Isaiah 6:3
God's Power IS Unlimited
“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” - Jeremiah 32:17 “Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.“ - Matthew 19:26
God IS Fully Revealed in Jesus Christ
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” - Colossians 2:9
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” - John 8:58
We affirm what God IS as revealed in Scripture, avoiding speculative or limiting definitions that attempt to add any constraints.
Jesus’ omnitarianism: Embracing God’s eternal “I AM”
Jesus' omnitarianism acknowledges God’s boundless, eternal nature without imposing human logic. It is not a separate group or denomination but a perspective rooted in humility, focused on God’s self-revelation.
Key affirmations of Jesus’ omnitarianism:
- God IS. We do not try to explain His nature by using words “is not.” His eternal “I AM” transcends human language and logic.
- Jesus IS God. Jesus IS fully God, the embodiment of Yahweh’s love and salvation, The Only Way to Father.
- The Father IS God. The Father IS fully God, the Creator and covenant-maker.
- The Spirit IS God. The Holy Spirit IS fully God, God’s active presence within us.
- Yahweh IS God. Yahweh IS the name revealed in the Old Testament, embodying God's eternal, unchanging presence and covenant with humanity.
- God IS One. God IS Jesus, God IS the Holy Spirit, God IS the Father, God IS Yahweh.
Yahweh, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
There are various ways in which God has revealed Himself to us. While we don’t fully understand why He chose these specific revelations, it seems they are more connected to the purpose of His plans for us than to His own eternal nature. This observation is speculative and not meant to explain the essence of His revelations but to remind us of our limitations in comprehending His nature. Our intention is simply to minimize the tendency to speculate or define God, acknowledging humbly that we truly do not know.
Each of His revelation serving a unique purpose in His relationship with creation. Despite these varied revelations, God IS One — unified, indivisible, and beyond human comprehension.
God is who He is - God IS.
We use the word "fully" only to aid our human understanding, to help us avoid making errors when speaking about God, though we know it falls far short of describing His eternal nature. God "simply" IS. As we attempt to draw closer to understanding Him, we must ultimately admit that His greatness is beyond our comprehension. This realization highlights our own smallness and insignificance in approaching Him.
This is why Jesus' omnitarians embrace humility and avoid defining God’s nature—it is an impossible task. Even this manifesto is not here to provide definitions about God’s nature but to address the issues we, as humans, impose when we try to understand Him. Its purpose is to make this perspective clearer to others and to discourage further attempts at explaining God’s nature.
Jesus' omnitarians never engage in debates about God’s nature
This manifesto represents everything we have to say on the subject—it is our final word. We acknowledge that we cannot fully comprehend God, and we choose to focus solely on Jesus. Instead of debating, we point everyone to this manifesto to understand what is our sole purpose, to redirect our attention to what truly matters: Jesus Christ, who leads us to the Father and reveals God’s love and grace to us.
Jesus’ omnitarianism does not claim to explain the mechanics of God’s unity but instead affirms His eternal, self-existent “I AM.”
Comparing Jesus’ omnitarianism with Trinitarianism
While Trinitarianism attempts to define God's unity, Jesus’ omnitarianism acknowledges the limits of human understanding and chooses instead to affirm the unity of God without trying to explain its mechanics. This perspective allows for a more humble approach, acknowledging that God IS beyond our logic.
Trinitarianism is similar to Jesus’ omnitarianism, as both seek to understand God's greatness. However, Jesus’ omnitarianism seeks to avoid defining God in human terms that may inadvertently impose limitations. The very word 'Trinity', which is unscriptural can imply constraints, and even attempting to explain the unity of God in such a way risks misunderstanding His true nature.
Not only that, due to limited understanding, some could misinterpret the concept, perceive it as flawed, and ultimately feel misled, which might lead them away from the truth and into seeking alternative explanations, opening the door to sin and the influence of evil forces.
God's Power IS unlimited and His essence cannot be described or confined by human terminology. Trinitarians may attempt to explain Yahweh, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in ways that inadvertently suggest distinctions.
As Jesus’ omnitarians, we choose humility and refrain from unknowingly making sins, by saying limiting definitions about God's nature. Instead, we affirm only what we know from Scripture: God IS One, and God IS beyond our comprehension. Our focus is not on debates about God’s nature but on following Jesus — our Omnipotent God, given everything by the Father.
God's Omni-nature
Our journey begins and ends with Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, who embodies the fullness of God. Through Jesus, we see God’s unified presence revealed as:
- Yahweh, the eternal covenant maker.
- The Father, the source of all life.
- Jesus, the Redeemer and Savior and The Only way to The Father.
- The Holy Spirit, God’s presence within us.
These revelations of God are expressions of His omni nature. Can you divide infinity? You can’t, you will still have infinity. Even this is not a comparison, we can’t think about comparing this humble example with God’s nature, it’s just for us humans, to understand better how limited we are with our understanding of God’s nature. The best we can say that God IS and HE IS WHO HE IS.
Jesus’ omnitarianism is a perspective, not a label. Trinitarianism is the closest to what Jesus’ omnitarianism teaches, but we needed to address issues like those when someone says 'X is not Y,' which we cannot even say directly, as God is One in nature. To avoid making similar mistakes, we affirm that we do not know God's full nature and remain humble, only speaking about what we know from Scripture.
Anyway, this is not what we need to focus on. Our focus is solely on Jesus, as the Father has given everything to the Son. Jesus is the path to God and God Himself, Our Omnipotent God. We needed to give this perspective a name to distinguish it from others, but we never seek to overemphasize Jesus’ omnitarianism itself. It is called Jesus' omnitarianism to put Jesus first, always keeping Him above any perspective or belief. It seeks to glorify Jesus alone. All affirmations are rooted in Scripture, and all glory belongs to Jesus, the one true Lord and Savior.
It's All About Jesus
Our focus is solely on Jesus, for the Father has entrusted everything to the Son. Jesus IS the path to God, and Jesus IS God Himself—our Omnipotent God, who embodies all and eternal. Jesus is ENOUGH. Through Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we experience God's presence, we belong to Jesus, and Jesus' omnitarianism also belongs to Him, as the name states.
As Christ's Church we acknowledge that we are Jesus' Body.
"So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." - Romans 12:5
By fully letting go and giving ourselves to The Son, being His Body, we can pray to The Father. It is not coincidence that Jesus asked us to pray to The Father, since, when doing that, we acknowledge our unity with Jesus. Only Son can pray to The Father.
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6
"Because you are His sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.' So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir." - Galatians 4:6-7
When you pray to The Father, you also glorify Son, Son's omnipotence and His presence in you. Father also glorifies Son, and His presence in you, you, acknowledging our humble but eternal connection and unity with God, that even though we can't fully understand, we can cherish.
"After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed: 'Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.'" - John 17:1
We give ourselves to God, follow His ways, share love, give thanks and pray to Him, building a unique connection with our Creator, and that is what is important - much more important than trying to fully understand God's nature, which is impossible for us, limited human beings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why don't Jesus' omnitarians define God's nature in detail?
God's nature is beyond human understanding. To define God in human terms risks diminishing His true, eternal essence. Instead, Jesus' omnitarians affirm only what God has revealed in Scripture, remain humble before His mysteries and acknowledge that we don't know everything.
How should Jesus' omnitarians respond to different theological views?
Jesus' omnitarians respect other views but remain focused on Jesus and His teachings. Rather than debating human interpretations of God's nature, they prioritize living out the faith with love, humility, and unity, as Jesus instructed. We invite everyone to stop trying to understand God's nature and start focusing on relationship with Jesus instead.
What does it mean to embrace God's mystery?
Embracing God's mystery means accepting that our finite minds cannot comprehend His eternal being. It means standing in awe of His greatness, trusting in His wisdom, and being content with what He has chosen to reveal.
Is Jesus' omnitarianism a new religious group?
No. Jesus' omnitarianism is a perspective rooted in Jesus Christ, affirming God's eternal nature. It does not seek to form a group but calls all believers to unite under Jesus' Lordship.
Why avoid saying "X is not Y"?
When we say that God's nature IS X, we should never say something like: "X cannot be something," or compare X to anything in a non-affirmative way. God's nature IS. X cannot be confined by human logic or negation. We use the term "X" since using the original words would be blasphemous. He always IS. Affirmative claims honor His "I AM" nature, while negative claims risk introducing limitations and opening doors to sin.
Whom should I pray to?
You pray to God. Whether you address the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, you are always praying to the One True God—Yahweh—who IS, who WAS, and who WILL BE, unchanging and eternal. This truth affirms the oneness of God, regardless of the form through which He has revealed Himself to us.
We recommend praying to the Father, through Jesus, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus instructed us in Scripture. This reflects the divine wisdom of God’s revelation and His desire for relationship with us through His Son.
As you grow in understanding this truth, you will come to see the profound unity of God, and everything will begin to make more sense. Jesus died for you to bring you into His presence, so you can know and experience the love of the eternal, unchanging God.
Why did Jesus pray to the Father When He is fully God, from Jesus' omnitarian perspective?
From Jesus' omnitarian perspective, Jesus praying to the Father is a profound mystery that is beyond human understanding. It reflects the depth of God’s self-revelation, which we humbly accept without fully comprehending. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of God’s nature, we can learn from Jesus’ example of humility, trust, and obedience in prayer. His prayers guide us in approaching God with faith, showing us the way to align our lives with His will.
A humble way to approach answering this question, is to consider two infinite numbers in mathematics—though they may seem distinct, they are still infinity from our limited human perspective. Both remain indivisible, boundless, and ultimately one. Yet even this comparison falls far short of capturing the true nature of God and is offered only to help us grasp our own smallness in understanding His greatness.
What we truly learn from this is not about God's infinite nature itself, which is beyond our comprehension, but that Jesus is our Example and our Way. He has revealed to us how we should live, and our focus should remain on following Him and His teachings with humility and faith.
Living Out Faith in Jesus from Jesus' omnitarian Perspective
- Focus on Relationship, Not Understanding: Seek a deeper connection with God through faith and trust, prioritizing a relationship with Him over attempting to fully understand His eternal nature and ways.
- Avoid Debates on God’s Nature: This manifesto is our final word on the nature of God. We humbly acknowledge that we cannot fully understand God’s infinite nature, and we choose not to debate or define it. Instead, we encourage anyone seeking clarity to read this manifesto for our perspective and redirect their focus to Jesus—our sole example and the way to the Father.
- Worship Jesus as Fully God: Recognize Jesus as the complete embodiment of God’s infinite love and power, worthy of all worship and devotion.
- Acknowledge Your Identity in Christ: Embrace that you are a member of Jesus’ Church, His Body, united with Him in purpose and calling.
- Pray to the Father Through Jesus: Approach the Father in prayer as part of Christ’s Body, recognizing your relationship with Him through the Son.
- Seek the Spirit’s Guidance: Depend on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, strength, and direction in every aspect of your faith journey.
- Embrace God’s Mystery with Humility: Accept that God’s eternal nature is beyond human understanding, and trust in His revealed truth.
- Learn from Yahweh's Revelations in Scripture: Depend on the wisdom of Scripture, understanding the Old Covenant as an earthly shadow pointing to the fullness of the Divine Covenant revealed through Jesus Christ that is our sole focus.
- Live in Unity with God: Embrace, through faith, your unity with Jesus, your reliance on the Father, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Trust fully in God’s wisdom and grace, allowing this unity to inspire you to live according to His will, reflecting His love and purpose in all you do.
In all things, affirm what God has revealed, and glorify Jesus above all.
Final Prayer
"Our Father, please help us and forgive us, for we are sinners, and we might have sinned unintentionally. This is all for Your Glory through The Glory of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the Glory of Your Kingdom and salvation of Your children. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."
