Quite plainly, Jesus expects our God to be the same God as his God. Who then is Jesus' God? Are we really expected to believe he served a three person God? And if the Father is the one and only God Jesus served, why then do Trinitarians advocate serving a different three person God? And a God that is also never once described in the entire Bible?
The word "God" is normally used in the Bible to refer to Jesus' Father. Is that not plain enough? Jesus also refers to his Father as "the only God" and "the only true God." Paul contrasted many gods to "one God, the Father." He also said there is "one God and Father of all." Is it not clear enough? Is it not plain who Jesus and his apostles worshiped as God? Paul said, "there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus." A mediator by definition is neither party in question. And here in this verse, the mediator, Jesus, is neither "the one God" nor the group of "men" for whom he mediates. Is it not clear enough?
Who was the God of the Jews? A three person being? No. Their God was one person, Jesus' Father. And Jesus was the Son of their God. The Bible says the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob glorified his son Jesus. That certainly is not a reference to a three person God.
