Mike, where do the targums change 'angel' for the Word of Jehovah or Jehovah?

Do the targums identify Gabriel as Jehovah, Mike?

The NT speaks of someone (Jesus) who was given the Father's name, so yes, a second Jehovah. The NT also identifies Jesus as Jehovah of hosts, the First and the Last, the Lord of lords, the eternal life who was in the beginning with the Father, our God and Savior.

Mike,I understand what you are saying. Can you understand what I am saying in my last post about the ancients perhaps understanding two facets of Jehovah?

Mike,Perhaps they believed Jehovah had two facets…one unseen and unheard, the other which appeared and spoke. The NT is telling us one of these facets is the Father and the other is the Son.

Pierre,Your quarrel is with Peter as he identified Jesus as the Stone who Jehovah says is Jehovah of hosts from Isaiah 8. In Isaiah 8, Jehovah of hosts is the Stone that Jehovah is speaking about. You have to look at both passages (Isaiah 8 and 1 Peter 2) to see that there are two persons…one as the speaker (Jehovah) and one as the stone…[Read more]

Hebrews 7:27He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.Can you admit that the Bible says that He 'offered' Himself?

Pierre,I have been telling you there are TWO persons, that is why one faces the other. I am not telling you that both are the same person. Both are Jehovah however. Jehovah is a name for two persons, not just one.
