Quote (jb2u @ May 29 2013,17:59)Quote (Lightenup @ May 29 2013,05:20)jb,The 'root of Jesse' is talking about Isaiah 11 where FROM the ROOTS of Jesse comes a branch. Obviously the two terms are not the same here.Isaiah 11 1A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.Even so, the meaning of the word does not…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ May 30 2013,06:13)Jesus is master/lord not YHWH God.In fact it was God who made him Lord.Where did this happen in scripture when the theos of John 1:1b make the theos of John 1:1c 'Lord?'A must answer question:Did you know that Jesus was already announced as Lord on the day when He was born as a man?Luke 2:10And the angel said to them,…[Read more]

Mike,you said:Quote And I don't need you to put your spin on things, Kathi. The fact that Gill, or your pastor, or the scholars you often quote think that “God the Son” is also named “Jehovah” does NOT equate to them believing in TWO Gods. They believe in “Jehovah the Father”, “Jehovah the Son”, and “Jehovah the Holy Spirit” – but they believe…[Read more]

Bo, ultimately, He did not ask to be saved from His Father's will.

Love this…thanks Paul!

Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 28 2013,22:12)Kathi,Your claim that there is an “eternal kind”, of which there are two members, is just an empty claim.Your claim that there are TWO Jehovahs, who are described all throughout scripture with SINGULAR pronouns, is also an empty claim.Your claim that we have TWO Almighty Gods is not only an empty claim, but…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 28 2013,21:14)Quote (Lightenup @ May 27 2013,20:43)This is really quite simple, Mike. This verse really settles the matter. There is no way in the world that you can twist that “you” to mean the one called God in v. 9 above.Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying:“You are worthy to take the scroll    and to open its…[Read more]

Bo,Quote If you answer a fool as his folly deserves it would be according to his own folly because the fool is wise in his own eyes.

Quote (t8 @ May 28 2013,03:13)Kathi. Jesus came in his Father's name. Q: What is his Father's name?YHWH?Did Jesus come in his own name?No, he came in his Father's name.So he didn't come in the name of his name which is YHWH according to you.See that Kathi. That is commonly called a contradiction.He came in YHWH's name and he didn't come in YHWH's…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ May 28 2013,03:33)The “Ye” in Yeshua is the abbreviated form of YHWH, while “Shua” is from the Hebrew word 'salvation'. Jesus means “YHWH is salvation.”Isaiah means “salvation of the Lord”. It is basically the same meaning as Yeshua.Then we have other names like Elijah, Obadiah etc. It is plain to see that all of these use the name of…[Read more]

Another question that will show that I am not biased but it is you who are biased to really not want YHVH to be a name for Jesus.Whose righteousness is the context talking about where the Branch is called Jehovah our Righteousness?Jeremiah 235″Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He…[Read more]
