Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 26 2013,16:12)Also Kathi,You didn't address one of my questions.  I wanted to know if “the Word of YHWH” was ever said in the targums to be WITH “YHWH”.In other words, did they ALWAYS change “YHWH” to “the Word of YHWH” – to the point that “YHWH Himself” is not even mentioned at all?  Or are there scriptures where they c…[Read more]

I'm all signed up to learn Hebrew in 2014.

I'm here to serve and I know there is much for me to learn in order to serve better.It is not too late for others to sign up to learn Hebrew or…[Read more]

Wakeup,I believe that Jehovah is two powers, one is the Father and one is the Son. Both are called Jehovah together and separately and together they act in complete cooperation and interdependency.Jehovah the Father sent Jehovah the Son. Jehovah the Father gave Jehovah the Son. Jehovah the Father is not Jehovah the Son.

Wakeup,Jesus and the Father are both inherently God.You and your son (if you have one) are both inherently human.So when you say 'God and Jesus' it can be confusing because Jesus is god, the Father is god…both are inherently god. All other gods are not inherently god but acting as god in some manner.

So how do you answer the question, Pierre? Do you abide in the one who is our sanctuary and who Jehovah speaks about as Jehovah of hosts in Isa 8 and Peter identifies as Jesus in 1 Peter 2 and 3?

Wakeup,The unbelieving Jews didn't call the Two Powers of Heaven a heresy until the Second Power was identified as Jesus during the Christian era. That in itself gives the idea more credibility as possible since they rejected Jesus as their Messiah and showed their lack of truth. Read above post to tigger2.

Pierre,Peter identifies Jesus as the Jehovah of hosts and the one to fear and sanctify in our hearts. He quotes Isaiah 8 in two places in 1 Peter. Chapter 2 and chapter 3. In both places Peter identifies Jesus as the one Jehovah is calling Jehovah of hosts in Isaiah 8.Those who stumble are those who deny Jehovah of hosts. Those who do not stumble…[Read more]
