If you have more than one God or a God that's a group of people. Of course this goes against Scripture:

Jesus is the Everlasting Father - Isaiah 9:6

We only have 1 Father - Malachi 2:10, Ephesians 4:6

All the fullness of the godhead is in Jesus, which has to include the Father - Colossians 2:9

Jesus said he was the Father - John 8:19, John 8:24

Jesus is the I Am - Exodus 3:14

When you see Jesus you see the one that sent him - John 12:45, John 14:7

Jesus said the Father was in him - John 10:38

Jesus said he was the Father of over-comers - Revelation 21:6-7

Jesus said he would not leave us fatherless but that he would come to us - John 14:18

Jesus said he would send the Comforter - John 16:7

- The Father would send the Comforter - John 14:26

Jesus said he would draw men to God - John 12:32

- The Father draws us - John 6:44

Jesus will raise believers in the last day - John 6:40

- the Father gives life and raises us - Romans 4:17; I Corinthians 6:14

Jesus said he would answer prayer - John 14:14

- the Father is the one that answers prayer - John 16:23

Jesus is the one that sanctifies - Ephesians 5:26

- the Father is the one that sanctifies - Jude 1

Jesus was manifested to take away sin - John 1:29-31

- the Father is the one that was manifested to take away sin - I John 3:1-6

Tradition is irrelevant. All that matters is what the Scriptures say.
