Did Jesus have Two Fathers?



A Catholic bishop is under fire for being honest in seeing a very glaring problem in the doctrine of the trinity. The Bishop was trying to get in on the contemporary discussion that the world, or those outside of the body tried to force upon the church and whether or not homosexual's belong to the body. Of course the bible is very clear on that fact. Paul himself in speaking to an established church in Corinth pointed to some major problems inside the body. Some of those problems. Although not exhaustive I submit are:* preacher religion or following men rather than God: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ." (1 Corinthians 1:12)

*Lawsuits and cheating one another : The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers. (1 Corinthians 6:7-8)

*Drunkenness and not taking care of the needs of others: As you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk...Do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? (1 Corinthians 11:21-22)

*Sexual sins: It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. (1 Corinthians 5:1-2)

 *Each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband... Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time... Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:2-5)


Paul also reminds the Corinthian church in I Corinthians 6:9-11 of the various terrible sins God delivered them from, one of those being the sin of homosexuality.

*9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

*Abuses of the spiritual gifts from chapters 11 -13.. I know, I got off on a tangent in explaining the various sins that was relevant in Paul's day and in our contemporary as well which had to be dealt with.
   Back to the original intended problem of the trinity which was the main focus of the article based on a recent article I had read online about a Catholic bishop who had put up a sign to be relevant in the "gay Christianity" debate(No such thing can exist in the body) and it goes something  like this; if there are three persons of God, then according to the bible Jesus would have "two Fathers." Of course Oneness do not believe this idea, we see the Holy Ghost and the Father are the same person of God with two different  titles being used.  The trinity  doctrine of  course views this as two completely different persons.
The scriptures teach God is Spirit(John 4:24) and that God is  Holy (Psalm 99:9,1st Peter 1:15) The passage in question is taken can be found here:

Matthew 1:20(NASB) But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

  The sign by the Catholic priest actually reveals the doctrine of the trinity as a very flawed doctrine.  Oneness adherents have been pointing this problem out for years in debates etc.  You can read the original article Here:

The Catholic Bishop meant God the Father and Joseph were Jesus father without consideration of (Matth. 1:21)
