Subject: Who is Jesus' God? |
Bible Note: Tara1 Thanks for your reply. The versions I respect (NASB, KJV) support the meaning I provided. NWT may support your view, but that version isn't widely respected. Seems we have to both go with a version we respect. I would like to use NASB, you would like to use NWT. Let's use KJV. Jesus was very clear. In John 10:30, He said that I and the Father are one! In Isiah 44:6, God says, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God" Jesus say's the same thing in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." To prove that this is Jesus speaking, Revelation 1:18 say's, "I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." |
