Please show me the contexts where each person/persons that you claim is called theos and I will be better able to tell you to whom they are theos of. You can do that one person at a time if you like. I am really interested in seeing if you can back up your claims here.
Thanks, t8. I know your time is valuable too. This is an important…[Read more]

Why do you ask that?
Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 7 months ago
Your answer denies the dominion of the Lamb over all creation. Your argument is with scripture, not with me.

@NickHassan
you say:But he is not our God
Your Jesus is a created being which leads you to the conclusion that he is not your god. If that were true, that Jesus was merely a created being, you would do well because we are not to worship the creation but instead we are to worship the creator.
The Jesus I believe in is Jehovah of hosts from…[Read more]

you asked:Jesus went to His God and our God. Jn 20.17
Who did he ascend to?
The God we call our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ascended to the God we call God, our Father.
Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 7 months ago
you said:
We worship one God the Father.
Not those who are WITH HIM.
You will sooner or later worship the God whom is called our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ along with God the Father. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father.

Try again…I didn’t ask how many are in authority over Jesus. I asked:
So you don’t think that two persons have dominion over all creation for ever and ever?

You can use the term for what I believe “the Jehovah Doctrine” with the understanding that Jehovah is the name of the God of gods and Lord of lords. The Jehovah who is called God our Father and the Jehovah who is called our Lord Jesus Christ both share the dominion over all creation and both share the character, essence and name -Jehovah.

Go ahead and laugh yourself silly, t8. I don’t even use the term binity to describe what I believe. I also don’t teach that God is two. I do teach that two who are both called theos in scripture share the dominion over all created things for ever and ever though…you will find that in Rev 5.

you said:Whatever is OF GOD
is NOT GOD
The true eternal offspring is the same kind of being as His Father…and thus the Son is the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, the invisible God…The only begotten God has come to explain God, His Father.

True, and He is with the person who is called theos in scripture, and this theos is who the Christians refer to as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hi Kerwin,
you asked:What passages are you using to conclude God has always been a Father?
One of the Son’s name’s is Jehovah of hosts-the topic of this thread. Jehovah means always existent.

Yes, before He was given the name Jesus, He was God with God in the beginning.

Here is a must answer question for you:
Of all the persons who are called theos in scripture, how many have dominion over all creation forever and ever?If you can answer that correctly, then you will hold on to those persons as being the persons who are called theos who are for us. Paul mentions only two persons who are for us, btw. One is…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
The Word was the Jehovah of hosts that Peter identifies as Jesus who was the eternal life that was with the Father in the beginning. You are missing this.Rev 19:13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Here we have the Word of Jehovah identifying Himself as ‘Jehovah’ and being called ‘Lord…[Read more]- Load More
