Pierre,Who wrote that commentary, what is your source? I'll bet the writer believes in the unity of the Father and the Son and writes through that perspective. His point is that Jehovah is both God and Lord and there really aren't any other divine gods or lords that Jehovah rules over. All other gods or lords are not divine at all and were not…[Read more]

Irene,Jehovah made all things alone. The Son was with God in the beginning and through the Son all things were made. That is two persons, Irene. One God and one Lord 1 Cor 8:6Two persons made all things…and they were alone before they made all things. They are Jehovah.Kathi

Pierre,You put the scripture in your post and do not even understand the significance.Dt 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 1Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.2Give thanks to the God of…[Read more]

Pierre,The great God that you write about is both God and Lord…Father and Son.Kathi

Irene,You want us all to believe that Jehovah is one person. However we know that all things came into being by Jesus. How does that fit with this verse?Isaiah 44:24Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself A…[Read more]

Mike claims that Jesus did not create anything and that Jesus is just a 'god' and not a God.This is what Jehovah says to tell the gods that did not create heaven and earth:Jer 10:11 Thus you shall say to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”Mike, are you going to tel…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 12 2011,11:28)Hey JackThanks for bringing up this thread. I had been looking for this post of mine for some time. Tit 2:13, 14 is unambiguous and proof Jesus is God.So, let’s look at the closer context…while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious *APPEARING* (epiphaneia) of our great “God and Savior”, Jesus C…[Read more]

Pierre,Where is your scripture that says that His Father is 'LORD over him.'Kathi

Pierre,Can you tell me why you believe a compound unity can't have one greater and one lessor within it? Can you tell me why you believe a compound unity can't have one that gives things to another?Kathi

Pierre, The verse shows a unity. Not only is Peter asking for grace and peace to be multiplied to believers in the knowledge of God but ALSO of Jesus our Lord. Peter puts the two names together and each name has equal importance. That is prevalent throughout the NT.Kathi
