Ed,No, Abraham did not offer Abraham as a dead, burnt sacrifice to God.

Ed,You imply “sacrifice” can mean “TO KILL” and offer never does.I question that as a burn offering is killed.Abraham never offered Isaac as a burnt offering. He was prepared to though.

To all,The most high God is calling God a name and not referring to him as a god. It neither testifies of more than one god or of only one. We are not the first to call Jehovah, God.

Mike,I have always treated the tense as present tense though the context of the words containing it were in John's future.  My point is that a name Jesus is called by at the time John foresaw is not evidence Jesus was called by that same name in the beginning.  An example is that Abraham was not called Abraham before God declared Abraham to be h…[Read more]

Mike,Do you mean John might of been basically saying “he is currently called by the name of the Word of God”?As for what I hear, he may or may not be called the Word of God at other times than the one John speaks of. Revelations 19:13 does not tell us.
