My limited experience with going to Church of God places indicated to me that they hold this belief, but I do jot know the term for it. They didn’t pray to god, they prayed to Jesus, specifically. And cried for him. And thanked him. And apologized to him. And so on. All to Jesus, not god, who are apparently different.
The idea of the Trinity is not the same across all “Christian” religions, see Arianism for example of an early split.
I’d never heard of them, but I looked them up, and I don’t see anything in their declaration of beliefs to suggest that they think that God is bad or evil. They just seem to have an emphasis on praying to Jesus, but they seem to have pretty standard Christian belief that God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost are all parts of the same being.
I am not sure how aligned all of the different Church of God denominations are in their beliefs, but the main website for them seems to be pretty standard Christian stuff.
You’re right, I just mentioned them as an example of splits about exactly what has gone on with the differing beliefs about trinity interpretation. I don’t recall that they believed in an evil god. I do recall that some interpretations have other feelings and operate as such.
The Arians and the Church of God are probably not really connected to what op is getting at. I’m definitely not a theologist haha! Maybe I should stay oiy of this…
