Why is his name jesus?

Participant

Hi TT,
You do not know the difference between a Lord and God?
Scripture makes the difference plain.
Read 1 Cor 8.

Hi,
So Jesus means God saves.
God does indeed save and through His son Jesus.

It's not the Father's name. Where in scripture is the Father called “Jesus?”

thinker

Hi thethinker:

And so, by this statement you acknowledge that since the Father is not Jesus, and since the scriptures state that there is “One God”, they can not both be God.

Love in Christ,
Marty

I acknowledge no such thing. God is three in one. So I must keep the three Persons distinct.

The fact is that you don't believe in a solitary being called God, right?

Exactly! God is a community and not a solitary being. And He made man a community in His image. God was never all by Himself! God is love. A solitary being cannot love.

No other so called “elohims” can join the community because there are no others except in the imaginations of men. God is love as I said before. This implies that God exists as a community. God never existed as a solitary being

Quote

“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world

There it is! The Father loved the Son before the foundation of the world. If God is love then He could never have existed in solitude.

Nick,
Explain how God could love without another person to love who was with Him. The word love suggests community.
