Hi Danny,
You asked:
Hi LU,
If Jesus is Yahweh, then that would contradict Isaiah 45:5.
“I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
Besides me, there is no God.” Isaiah 45:5The Bible is a harmony.
So Hebrews 1 has to fit with Isaiah 45:5If you disagree, then please tell me who is speaking in Isaiah 45:5?
If you say the Father and the Son tog…Lightenup replied to the topic in the forum Lightenup 4 years, 10 months ago

Hi Adam why do you post in topics in the “Believer’s Place” if you do not believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus? I’m not saying you shouldn’t post but that is what the skeptics place is for, right?
Admin, what are your thoughts?

Gene,
My suggestion to you is to learn Greek. If you were to understand the word “dia” and how to translate it correctly with a word in the accusative Greek case or the genitive Greek case, you would not be continually trying to tell us that “dia” means “because of” or “on account of.” Dia only means that when followed by a word in the genitive…[Read more]

Proclaimer quoted Origen:
He uses the article, when the name of theos refers to the uncreated cause of all things, and omits it when the Word is named theos.
I don’t believe that Origen’s explanation that you quoted above is consistent with the “theos” who hasn’t been “seen” in John 1:18 which does not have the article unless we are to believe…[Read more]

Hi Adam,
Do you believe that all the Jews understand the scriptures exactly alike? When did that start?

This first Greek lesson is to clear up how to translate the Greek word “dia.”
Translating “dia” (Strong’s #1223) is simplified by what type of word follows it. If the word after “dia” is in the genitive case it is translated as “through” as opposed to the accusative case which would’ve translated as “for the sake of.” I have simplified it to th…[Read more]

Here is a topic to put Greek grammar reasons for interpreting passages correctly.
I hope this is useful and gets rid of ongoing opposing views when a simple grammar lesson can bring truth to all.
Blessings, LU

Hi Adam,
Like I said, I speak of one YHVH who is two persons, not two persons who are of different YHVH families. There is one family of YHVH. The Father and His Son are the two members with eternal and divine essence. Do you think that Proclaimer and Mike don’t believe that there is a family of YHVH?
Do you not think that the OT teaches that…[Read more]
Lightenup replied to the topic Proclaimer vs Lightenup in the forum Debates 4 years, 10 months ago
Theos is a Greek word used in the NT. In the NT, knowing YHVH is both God and Lord, the NT usually designates the Father as God and the Son as Lord. Both are together as one YHVH family not two different YHVH families and therefore not two different Gods.
Lightenup replied to the topic Proclaimer vs Lightenup in the forum Debates 4 years, 10 months ago
This was your post in response to me trying to tell you that “theos” has a plural form but you seemed really confused because of how you responded to me. You should have actually have taken your own advice.

The Word was theos just means that the Word is divine, not ‘a divine’.
The Father identifies the “Word” as YHVH, Heb 1:10-12 here:

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your reply regarded here:
One question to you Adam, do you see in the NT that the Father is also identifying His
Son as YHVH? I’m not asking you if you agree that the Son is also YHVH, I’m just asking if you agree that it appears that way specifically from Heb. 1. Please just give me a “yes” or a “no.”LU

Hi Danny,
Thank you for your reply. You said:
There are manuscripts that calls Jesus with the article “THE only begotten God” in John 1.18.
And some without the article.
Does this make any difference?

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your reply.
You said:
As we read the above portion of scripture it is clear that the Lord(Yahweh) alone God and no one else is found in this text of Hebrew Bible. You want to see Jesus the supposed Messiah also as Yahweh in these words but that will be twisting the scriptures which was freely done by the NT writers.

Hi Danny,
Jesus is the only begotten God and the Father identifies Him as YHVH who laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of His hands.
John 1:18
No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

This refers to the Messiah’s first coming and rejection. No mystery here. Jesus is the only one who fulfilled this prophecy.
