Bible Question: In Isaiah 9:6 it speaks of Jesus being called Father, what is the context, or the Hebrew meaning? Does this mean only a fatherly love or that Jesus is the Father? (this question stems from the united and oneness pentecostal view)Thanks for as much input as possible! |
Bible Answer: According to the Brown-Driver-Brigg's Hebrew Lexicon, the Word "Father" in the Hebrew means "Originator" or "Producer". However the key word to focus on in the text is "Everlasting". "Everlasting", in the Hebrew, means "eternal" Isaiah referred to Jesus as "The Everlasting Father". Meaning, He has always been our Father and will always be our Father. Jesus said,"I and the Father are one." John 10:30 Jesus also said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" John 14:9 |
