Hi Lightenup,

I thought I made myself clear.
Yahweh is the Father of Jesus Christ. (Psalm 2; Acts 4)
I presume you are confusing the identities?
Luke 1:32 says “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High.”
Who is the Most High, and who is His Son?

I’m glad we agree on this.

@Lightenup

Do you agree that the Son is identified as God, and YHVH in Hebrews 1:8-12 by his Father

I agree in part.
As you said “As with any scripture, the context will be very important to consider.”
Jesus bears the NAME of His Father Yahweh God.
Jesus is Yahweh God by nature, not identity.
Yahweh is the Father of Jesus (Psalm 2; Acts 4), hence…[Read more]

@Lightenup

Ok, first we need to establish the identity of Yahweh.
Who is Yahweh?

Psalm 2:2
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed

This Psalm is quoted by the first Christians in Acts 4.

24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said,…[Read more]

@t8

One God the Father. He is the one true God.

Finally, something we agree on.
But Jesus can be called God because He inherited His Father’s name and divine nature in the same way a human son inherits the human nature and name of his parents.
So it is perfectly fine to call Jesus God just as Thomas did.

@berean

AMEN!

@Lightenup

Can an eternal existence (both past and future) be inherited?

No.
Let me explain my beliefs.
I don’t believe that Jesus is a co-eternal Person alongside the Father.
But im not a JW. Jesus was not created.
I believe that Jesus was literally ‘born’ of God as a literal Son in eternity past.
So in his very nature He is equal to His…[Read more]

@t8

But now you say YHWH is not one person, but 2 persons.

I did not say that. Did you read the post?
This is again your typical “attack the strawman” game.
We were talking about the NAME of Yahweh.

Here read it again:
Do you believe that the name YHVH also can apply to the Son of God?

Jesus bears the NAME of His Father Yahweh God.

Jesus is…[Read more]

@Lightenup

Hi Danny,

Do you believe that the name YHVH also can apply to the Son of God?

Yes, of course, because Jesus inherited everything from His Father.

@t8

So Jesus is not the God of the Old Testament Danny Dabs?

Not necessarily. We know that the Father is Yahweh.
Ok, now let’s talk about Jesus.
Why did Thomas call Jesus “My Lord and my God”?
It’s the same Greek grammatical structure as in Psalm 35:23 (Septuagint).
“Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, even to my cause, my God and my Lord.…[Read more]

@t8

And which person is Yahweh?

Yahweh is the Father of Jesus Christ!
I never denied that.

@t8

Okay. So which person is Yahweh?

Yahweh is the Father of Jesus Christ!
I never denied that.

@t8

David was praying to his God Yahweh!

@t8

David was praying to his God Yahweh!

@t8

Just to respond to your falsehood about John 20:28.
You said the greek grammatical structure is not referring to only one person. Really?
In Psalm 35:23 (Septuagint), the same Greek grammatical structure is used as in John 20:28.
Psalm 35:23 ho theos mou kai ho kurios mou. My God and my Lord.
John 20:28 ho kurios mou kai ho theos mou. My Lord…[Read more]

@t8

Yahweh is called in the Old Testament both God and Lord.
The Hebrew word for God is Elohim and the Hebrew word for Lord is Adonai.

So 1 Corinthians 8:6 doesn’t prove unitarianism.
It’s time to shake the dust off my feet!

@berean

Don’t let these guys confuse you!
I’m outta here, God bless you!

@berean

“SO God IS LORD AND GOD

YAHWEH ELOHIM THE FATHER IN PERSONALITY

THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD IS LORD AND IS ONE WITH THE FATHER”

Yes. This is why you see ‘Lord GOD,’ when in the original languages it said “The Master/Lord YHVH.” Or LORD God, when in the original langauges it said “YHVH, God.”

Yes, it is.
