The true God is defined as YHVH and YHVH is the God of gods and the Lord of lords.

I have shown you where the Son is called the eternal life that was with the Father from the beginning. Therefore, He always existed.
I have shown you that begetting does not necessarily mean created but merely bringing something forth from one place to another. Nothing can be brought forth from one place to another unless it already…[Read more]

Jael, you asked me this:
LU, ‘Jesus… First works of The Father.’!
Where do you get that from in the Scriptures?
Are you saying that GOD made Jesus?
If you would read my post correctly, t8 was speaking about that and I was asking him to show us where he specifically got that thought so that I could address it.
Fyi, I do not believe that…[Read more]

Challenge accepted!
In Isaiah 8, Jehovah is prophecying to Isaiah about Jehovah of hosts who is going to be the stone of stumbling. This ‘Jehovah of hosts’ is identified by Peter as Jesus in 1 Peter 2.

You would certainly not be put to death for your beliefs like the ones in the Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. They had a much different confession than you. Have you ever read that book? That alone should make you wonder about what you believe.

Jael,
When I read that God sent His only begotten Son into the world and this only begotten Son was the eternal life that was with God, His Father in the beginning, I understand this only begotten Son as a true Son that was truly an offspring that was eternally alive. How could anyone, including the Father, be eternally alive, exactly, I…[Read more]

Hi Jael,
I will respond to you here if you ask one question at a time, ok? I will answer this question of yours:
Is the FATHER equal to the SON?
They are equal in essence. You are also equal in essence to your father. They are two distinct persons. You and your father are two distinct persons. The Father has authority over the Son. Your…[Read more]

You asked me:
You say that you BELIEVE that the son was always existent in The Father. Yet when I ask you to show where you get this inappropriate idea from you fail to respond.

Hi Jael,
I do not want a debate with you either and I did not invite you to a debate. I invited you to a one on one discussion so that our questions and answers would be easier to follow for me.

In another thread, you asked me about Hebrews 1:5 and suggested that the Son was adopted by the Father and you used the verse in Hebrews to support that belief.
Here is commentary from John Gill that is helpful:
