8270. 'My father's God' means that there was no other Deity in the ancient Churches. This is clear from the meaning of 'father' as the Ancient Church, dealt with in 6050, 6075, 7649, 8055; therefore 'father's God' is the Deity in the ancient Churches. For the fact that the Deity in those churches was the Lord, see 6846, 6876, 6884; and for the fact that they took 'Jehovah' to mean none other than the Lord, 1343, 5663.
