The One True God is the Father

God & His Apprentice in Creation according to: Moses, David, Solomon, the Apostles, & the Earliest Christians

The Jesus that Peter taught in His First Sermon
Throughout this sermon Peter maintains a clear distinction between God and Jesus. It was God who performed the miracles in the life of Jesus, God Who allowed him to be slain according to “his counsel,” God Who raised him from the dead, and God Who exalted him. At a specific point in time God “made Jesus both Lord and Christ.” Nowhere in his sermon does Peter hint at the idea of Jesus being a Divine being or as having existed before his birth. His unjust death is seen as a real death. Throughout the sermon Peter treats Jesus the Nazarene as a genuine human being though one in whom God worked miraculous deeds and one whom has subsequently been highly exalted.
