Truthfinder, This is as close as I have noticed you come to fully accepting Christ in your statement: "...He shows that those who received Christ Jesus, exercising faith in his name, were given “authority to become God’s children, . . . [being] born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.” ..." To add to the fine scriptures and comments of Nolan, Colin, DarcyA, and Hank, I wanted to encourage you to not be afraid to go the next step and confess Christ's full deity. Scripturally, what is the danger? I know that you see this is as not the real truth. But, please think about what Apostle Paul or Christ Himself might say if you could speak to him right now, directly. I think that they would say the same things that we are saying. Also, notice that Moses, Job, Abraham, Isaiah, and others in the old testament did not have new testament scriptures as we have. But, they still recognized Christ's full deity! John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 45Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" Truthfinder, when you really find Christ, you have found the truth: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. |

Hi Pastor, You wrote: Also, notice that Moses, Job, Abraham, Isaiah, and others in the old testament did not have new testament scriptures as we have. But, they still recognized Christ's full deity! John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 45Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" Yes, the Hebrew Scriptures many times speak of the coming Messiah, Jesus. But certainly I beg to differ that they nor the prophets of old ever recognized Christ as Almighty God Jehovah. Truthfinder |

Truthfinder....the prophet Isaiah recognized Him. Just not by the name Jesus. Just as by the name Jesus he was not known unto us until His birth. As it was the same for the O.T. forefather and the name Jehovah. The name of God in the Old Testament spelled YHWH, was considered holy, and was not to be read aloud. Instead, when the Hebrews came upon YHWH, they would say ADONAY, which means "Lord." In order to indicate this substitution, the Massoretes placed the vowels of ADONAY or the English equivalent of e, o, and a underneath the consonants of YHWH. Later some Christian translators mistakenly combined the vowels of ADONAY with the consonants of YHWH producing the word "Jehovah." Now the term is recognized to be a late hybrid form never used by the Jews. That's the origin of the word "Jehovah." The Jewish Encyclopedia: "Jehovah" -- a mispronunciation of the Hebrew YHWH the name of God. This pronunciation is grammatically impossible. According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, p. 680, vol. 7, "the true pronunciation of the tetragrammaton YHWH was never lost. The name was pronounced Yahweh. It was regularly pronounced this way at least until 586 B.C., as is clear from the Lachish Letters written shortly before this date." The New Jewish Encyclopedia: It is clear that the word Jehovah is an artificial composite. Exodus 6:3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. KJV 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2. And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3. And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. KJV Isaiah 6:1-5 1. In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. God Bless |
