1 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | stokeyhk | 55949 | ||
Jesus is a "Mighty God." (Isaiah 9:6) "I am the First ["A, 'Firstborn.'"] and the Last, and the living one; and I became dead, but, look! I am living forever and ever." (Revelation 1:17, 18, New World Translation) "These are the things that he says, 'the First and the Last,' who became dead and came to life [again]." (Revelation 2:8, NWT) Does the expression, "The First and the Last" equate Jehovah with Jesus? The context of Isaiah 41:4; 44:6; 48:12 refers to Godship. The context of Revelation 1:17, 18; 2:8 refers to resurrection. Revelation 1:5 calls Jesus "The Firstborn from the dead." Jesus was resurrected by Jehovah. (Romans 8:11) However, Jesus has "the keys of death and Hades" so others will be resurrected by Jesus, making him the first and the last resurrected by Jehovah. (John 11:25) So, of course it doesn't equate Jehovah with Jesus whom Jesus called "my God" three times and referrred to himself as "the beginning of the creation by God" who "created all things." Yes, those in heaven "worshiped God" saying "Praise Jah, you people!" (Revelation 3:12, 14; 4:8, 11; 7:11, 12; 11:16, 17; 19:1-6) We've heard it so many times before! Oh, by the way, surprisingly, the Good News Bible renders Acts 20:28 this way: "Through the death of his own Son." Stokey. |

2 | Stokey, Who's the Mighty God inJob 36:5? | John 9:24 | Searcher56 | 56501 | ||
Scripture ... Gen 49:24; Deu 7:21; Job 36:5; Psa 50:1, 132:2,5; Isa 41:4, 44:6, 48:12; Jer 32:18; Rev 1:8, 17, 2:8, 21:6, 22:13 ... Isaiah 9:6 does say that Chirst is Mighty God, but who is the Mighty God elsewhere (Gen 49:24; Deu 7:21; Job 36:5; Psa 50:1, 132:2,5; Jer 32:18)? Does the expression, "The First and the Last" equate Jehovah (correction Yahweh) (Isa 41:4, 44:6, 48:12), with Jesus (Rev 1:8, 17, 2:8, 21:6, 22:13)? Yes Jesus was worshpped and will be at the end ... more on this later Searcher |

Greetings Searcher, Excellent response to Stokeyhk.. But it is my understanding that he has left the Forum for good, and is unable (and most likely not willing) to respond. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios ... I gather that. I'd hope I get to ask him hard questions. Have a great day in the Lord, Searcher | ||||||
