One God
Deut 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

The Hebrew word for "one" is echad;
'echad (ekh-awd'); a numeral from OT:258; properly, united, i.e. one; or (as an ordinal) first:

Eph 4:4-6

one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
NKJV
1 Cor 15:27-28
For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not
include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put
everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
NIV

NKJV
1 Tim 2:5-6
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself
a ransom for all, to be testified in due time
NKJV
There is much debate on the idea of One God. Is Yahweh God and Yeshua (Jesus)
the Son of God? Or does Jesus have equal "headship" as Father God?
Bear in mind that the term "trinity" is a Church term and not a biblical term. I
do not believe that makes them wrong to use that term. It is
simply how the Church views the position of Jesus as equal with God.
Based on John 1:1,
Jesus (the word) is God in the flesh. And in John 10:30 Jesus says that he and
the father are one. But in 1 Cor 11:3, the head of Christ is God.
Bear in mind that when Jesus said that he and the father are "one", I believe that he is
using the word 'echad' as defined above. Also bear in mind that in Deut 6:4 above, when you see
the word God, the hebrew word is Elohiym. Note that "Elohiym" is plural, more
than one.
OT:430 'elohiym (el-o-heem'); plural of OT:433; gods in the ordinary sense; but
specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the
supreme God;
OT:433 'elowahh (el-o'-ah; rarely (shortened) 'eloahh (el-o'-ah); probably prolonged (emphat.)
from OT:410; a deity or the Deity:
So to put this in as simple of a statement as I see it,
There is more than one "God" (Elohiym; 'elowah or "el" is singular).
So, though Jesus is not "Father God", he is "God the Son".
They are "one" in the way that they are
united ('echad).
Jesus, as well as the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) was with Yahweh from the beginning and Yahweh is over all,
1 Cor 11:3.
