1 | Is Jesus YHWH? | OT general | punkiedo | 107202 | ||
Yes Jesus is YAHWEH. In the old testament people did not know God's name. Moses knew him as I AM. When they came to get Jesus in the garden John 18:4-5 Jesus said who are you looking for. And when the soldiers told him he said "I AM". Now several versions of the bible differ, in the KJV it says I AM he with he in italics, because it was not in the original greek text. Other versions like Websters version or word English version leaves out HE. The bible records in all versions that the soldiers "fell back" because of the POWER of the name. I AM. Jesus said that "I and my father are ONE." John 10:30 in Isaiah 43:10-11 it says:Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Jesus God. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. John begins his book with the beginnig or creation of the world "In the beginning was the WORD and the word was with God." Goes on to say that by the word (god) all things were made and without him nothing was made that was made. But Verse 14 interests me in John 1 it says "And the word (we have established the word was God.) was made FLESH and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth." Interesting Huh? Also, trinitarians believe that Jesus is literally sitting at the "right and of the father." My bible does not say sitting AT the right hand it says sitting ON two different words with different meanings God "stretched forth his HAND" I believe it was his right hand he stretched forth. (Isaiah 59:16)Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none BESIDE me. I also think it is interesting where it talks of Jesus' birth in Isaiah 9:6 it calls Jesus the "EVERLASTING FATHER" (just blows me away Jesus is the Father, the son, and the Holy Ghost (John 14:26)) Anyways, I didn't mean to write this much but YES Jesus is YAHWEH Jesus is ELOHIM Jesus is THE I AM. Jesus is the Father. The son. and The Holy Ghost. Just a tidbit of info and you can research this it wasn't until the coucil of Nicene in 324 AD that people even considered a triunity of the Godhead. Up until the Council of Nicene Jesus was considered God. I don't know about you but I want to believe the bible, not man. |

2 | Is Jesus YHWH? | OT general | CDBJ | 107217 | ||
The question often arises, with regard to the term Trinity, how can there be three yet one? For sake of clarification lets say that God, as we know him, has certain characteristics, not all are listed here, but these ten are listed for sake of simple clarity; again, this is not a complete list but it's sufficient for the brief explanation. God is, as we know Him, sovereignty, righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutability, and veracity. God is one in unity with all of these characteristics just mentioned. Whoever has All of these attributes is in fact God. It so happens that there are three separate personalities, and only three in existence, that have All of these attributes and for sake of accommodation, they are referred to in the Bible as, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. They have existed Together forever in eternity past and they will continue on forever into eternity future; the three personalities had no beginning, they always were and always will be. Anyone exhibiting All of the listed traits mentioned is God, it so happens that there are only three personalities in existence that posses All of these attributes. God is ONE IN ESSENCE but THREE IN PERSONALITIES. God decided in eternity past that one of these personalities, the one we call the Son, would take on the form of a man and be born into the human race, his name as a human, would be called Jesus. This one personality was going to place himself in a human body so that he could pay the high price that God demanded for sin, which is death. God just because of his essence as God, can’t die so he had to take on the body of a human and he only did it once for the purpose of dying for mankind. That why Jesus said what he did in, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God was only going to do this one time and that one time was in the man Jesus the Christ. The Bible says that this one, who will come, will be recognized as God with us. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Jesus main object was to pay the price of death for mankind. Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 1:2-3 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. When God the second person took on the form of a man it is referred to as the hypostatic union. (i.e.) Jesus is a one-of-a-kind being, 100 percent God and 100 percent man; he was the God man. He is different from the other two members of the God Head in that he is a man. He is different from mankind in that he is God. Even though Jesus was walking around on this Earth as a man, he was at the same time holding the Universe together by the power of his might as God. I hope this will settle a lot of the confusion about what is called the Trinity, which is not a word that is actually used in the Bible, but it is a term that has been coined to cover a fact of doctrine. Every technical subject uses a technical language. Just remember God is one in essence, but this essence is revealed in three separate personalities, making all three God, one God, three persons. Just like the old hymn says, God in three persons blessed Trinity. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Have a great day,CDBJ |

Have you ever driven along highways and seen high voltage lines with signs that say, Keep Out danger? Most of us have.If a wire was run directly from the high voltage lines to your house or any house, it would blow it up! So they come and set a pole near your house and hang upon it a 'Transformer' a wire is run from the High Voltage line to the transformer and the power is reduced - a wire is then run from the 'Transformer' into your home and you are able to enjoy a power that will not harm you. If God had come into this world in all of His Power and Glory, He would have consumed us. But a 'body' of flesh and blood became a 'Transformer' to reduce the Power! Jesus came and He was hung upon a tree. In so doing, He became our 'Transformer' and we can look upon Him, Hear Him, Touch Him, Handle Him, and Enjoy His Power that will neither harm nor consume us.Greater love hath no man than this, that He would lay down His life for his friends. When Jesus was manifested in the flesh, it was not a second person of the Godhead come down to earth. God did not so love the world that he said, "Come Son, I love them down there so much, you go down and die for them!" Such a concept is totally spurious and absurd! In light of this truth, John 3:16 now takes on significance of meaning never considered before, for in reality it can simply read: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten - (BODY) - that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God did not give the blood of his son, but rather he gave his own blood exactly as Paul wrote in Acts 20:28 "...GOD, WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD" If God, sent a son, the second person in the godhead, to die on the cross, then He instituted CHILD SACRIFICE. This is in total disharmony with anything Biblical concerning the nature of God. God did not send his son, a second person in the godhead to die for mankind, He came Himself in the body of Jesus Christ! The body of Jesus Christ is the only visible manifestation of God we will ever see... because God is a Spirit. The incarnation provided a 'body' for that Spirit to visibly dwell in - ie., Emmanuel, God with us in the Flesh... Colossians 2:9 states it so succinctly: "For in Him (Jesus Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. I have a whole list of scriptures to back me up. And futhermore, A theophany was a temporary visible manifestation of God before the incarnation: Theopanies - Temporary appearances by God in the Old Testament occurred more than once. If you want to question my belief then email me punkiedo_01@comcast.net I have plenty of scripture to back me up. Further more, you are treading on dangerous ground saying that god has multiple personalities. You have no biblical basis for this. I know what the word says. I also know that in Acts 2:38 when they asked what to do Peter said be baptized in JESUS name. in Matt 28:19 it says baptize in THE NAME of the father THE NAME of the son and THE NAME of the Holy Ghost. I am more than happy to discuss this with you as I love talking about MY SAVIOR that CAME HIMSELF AND DIED AND ROSE AGAIN. I feel like you are confused because your first comment said it was three now it is not three but one with three personalities. I think you need to take heed to 2 Tim 2:15. I know my scripture, and am able to interpret the word. Sometimes rather than going and pulling scriptures out of a hat you should read them the verse before and the one after and sometimes it takes reading the WHOLE chapter. Hope this helps... |
