You ask:
where does it say the meaning of the Tetragrammaton is the “fullness of G-d” and that it represents each of G-d’s “presences”?
Deuteronomy 10:17
“For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who does not show partiality, nor take a bribe.

@Proclaimer @Berean @DesireTruth
When you understand that YHWH is a name for the fullness of God as well as the name of each presence of God, i.e. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, many things in the Bible become easier to understand. Give it a try, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate this and open your heart and mind.
Be blessed, LU

what does Deut 6:4 say: “…The Lord our G-d is one Lord.” Did you catch “G-d” and “Lord” in the same sentence and HE is one?
That is not really what Deut 6:4 says. I know it has been translated that way but it is not correct, popular but not correct. I am going to insert a picture of Deut 6:4 of…[Read more]

I didn’t ask if Satan was the “god” of this world, I asked who the “ruler” of this world is.
The original Greek word used in 2 Corinthians 4:4 for “god” is θεός (theos).
In that verse, Paul uses theos in a generic sense to describe Satan as a (false) god who has power and influence over the present world system, blinding unbeliev…[Read more]

I don’t see the problem you are talking about.
The tares and the wheat and the dividing of them is a process.
It logically ends with the new earth as there is no longer any death.
This process takes thousands of years by the look of it.
A day to God is like a thousand years.
I think you are looking for things that I never said…[Read more]

Did Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, or any of the prophets require a “mediator”? How about the people of Nineveh, did they have a “mediator” when they cried out to God in a loud voice and where forgiven? When did God become so aloof that man was no longer able to come to him? Does God, the creator of everything seen and unseen, suddenl…

Given the supernatural circumstances of Jesus’ birth, how can He be considered to be of the tribe of Judah and therefore qualify to be the Messiah? Consider the following facts:
- The passage from Numbers would be important only when a child’s father was from one tribe (e.g., Benjamin), and the mother was from another (e.g., Sime…

Many of your objections can be answered by the biblical fact
that Jesus Christ will come again to start
the thousand-year reign here on this earth.
In this time period many prophecies will be fulfilled.
You never thought about that?A little research would answer all your objections.
Anyway, trust in the Bible. God didn’t mislead…[Read more]Danny Dabbs replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 1 year, 11 months ago

Who forms light and creates darkness, Who makes peace and creates evil; I am the Lord, Who makes all these.
