Subject: Does anyone have a good way to explain t |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I am certainly not saying God is lying Titus 1:2. Yet 2 Tim 3:16 says "all" scripture is inspired of God", so "his" use of elohim, el, elim, and theos must be understood as "gods" too. That is why the most common Biblical word in the original was whvh, to identify the one true God that is to be given exclusive devotion. Therefore Jesus is "worshipped" in a relative sense. He should be worshipped, be given honor as God's only-begotten son, not as the Almighty who alone deserves exclusive devotion. Exclusive devotion is demanded by Jehovah in the second of the “Ten Words” or Ten Commandments written by the finger of God: “I am Jehovah your God . . . You must never have any other gods against my face [or, “any other gods in defiance of me”]. . . . because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion.” (De 5:6-9) 17 Because the Law was given through Moses, the undeserved kindness and the truth came to be through Jesus Christ. John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom [position] with the Father is the one that has explained him. Mat. 4:10 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” As you say Tim, then did Jesus lie? Truthfinder |
