1 | Almighty and Mighty God | Is 9:6 | sisterkath | 77945 | ||
Hi Tim, At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called 'El Gib.bohr', "Mighty God" not 'El Shad-dai' "God Almighty, which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1. The plural form, 'e.lim', is used when referring to other gods, such as at Exodus 15:11 "gods". It is also used as the plural of majesty and excellence, as in Psalm 89:6; "Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God", bi.beneh' 'E.lim'? That the plural form is used to demote a single individual here and in a number of other places is supported by the translation of 'E.lim' by the singular form The.os in the Greek Septuagint; likewise by Deus in the Latin Vulgate. Among the Hebrew words that are translated "God" is 'El, meaning "Mighty One; Strong One." Ge 14:18. It is used with reference to Jehovah, to other gods, and to men. It is also used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha; meaning "God is Salvation" and Michael; "Who Is Like God?". In some places 'El appears with the definite article; ha.'El', literally, "the God" with reference to Jehovah, thereby distinguishing him from other gods. Ge 46:3; 2 Sa 22:31. The word "Almighty", itself shows a higher ranking, Ezekiel 32:21. sisterkath |

Greetings Sisterkath! My dear friend! Why do you strain at imaginary distinctions between words, yet ignore the plain statements of Jehovah that there are no other gods? How many times must He say it? How many ways must He say it before you will believe it? There can't be any differing levels of gods because Jehovah Himself said that there 'are no other gods besides Him'. This artifical distinction between two names of God is only created to deny what Jehovah has said. The JW's don't want to accept that Jesus is Jehovah, so they must invent other gods. But, Jehovah said that there are no other gods. Who is right? Jehovah or the JW's? Why would you believe an artifical and contrived distinction between these two words, yet ignore the plain statements of Jehovah? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, How can you say what I posted is imaginary distinctions between words? And your right, there is only one true "Almighty GOD, Jehovah. Not, Jesus his Son. How many times must Jesus say, "I am the Son of God, before YOU will belieave it? At "the end", we all will know who the "true god" is. I put my faith into the same GOD, whom Jesus prayed to while on earth, whom he loved and obeyed. You disagree with the WTBTS, not JW's. YOU disagree with the organization, not the people in it. For it is written, "Love Thy Neighbor". JW's only have one GOD and that is Jehovah. Not the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Who is right? What is written in The Bible, Jehovah. I don't ignore any word that is written in The Bible. sisterkath |

Greetings Sisterkath! We have talked about the different titles that Jesus used during His incarnation. They do not indicate, nor do they mean, there there is more than one God. However, you are ignore a word that is written in the Bible. You ignore Is. 43:10. The JW's are trying to teach you that Jesus cannot be Jehovah, therefore in John 1:1 He must be some other God. Yet, Is. 43:10 says that there is no other God besides Jehovah. This is what you ignore. The doctrine of the Trinity starts with the clear affirmation that there is only one God and then builds from there. Okay, if there is only one God, then in what why is Jesus the Son of God....? But, it starts with the affirmation that there is only one God. We cannot get to that point yet, because as of yet, you have not even admitted that there is only one God. Because Is. 43:10 does not agree with the teachings of the JW's, you redifine the meaning of the words. However, Is. 43:10 does not say that there is only one 'Almighty God'. It does not say that there is only one 'true God'. It says that there is no 'other god' period. Therefore, when John 1:1 says that Jesus is God, it cannot mean that He is anyone but Jehovah! By the way, who or what is WTBTS? :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
