Bible Note: Greetings Johnny! Three quick comments if I may! 1) You still haven't dealt with the clear Scriptures that I listed for you which state that there is "NO OTHER GOD". Less clear Scripture must always be interpreted by clear Scripture. These verses don't say that there are no other "almighty" gods. They say that there are "NO" other gods. Therefore, there can't be three. 2) All of the verses which you quoted about the relationship between the Father and the Son describe the relationship between them during the incarnation. During the incarnation (and only then), Jesus was limited, human, and under the authority of the Father. That however is not His normal state of being. Phil. 2:5 tells us what His "Normal" state is - God. 3) Concerning the supposed difference between "Almighty" and "Mighty". The word for "mighty" is the Hebrew word, 'gibbowr'. Besides Is. 9:6, it is used in the following verses in reference to God. a) Deut. 10:17 - "For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:" b) Neh. 9:32 - "Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day." c) Is. 10:21 - "The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God." d) Jer. 32:18 - "Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name," e) Zeph. 3:17 - "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." All of these verses clearly refer to the Father. So, "No" I don't see any difference between "almighty" and "mighty". Both are adjectives which describe God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
