The Hebrew name for "God" in Genesis 1:1 is "Elohim".
The Hebrew name for the "Lord God" in Genesis 2:4 is "Yahweh Elohim".
I believe they are 2 different Persons. There are many scriptures that you can quote that make it look like they are the same Person, but there are many scriptures that declare that they are 2 separate and distinct Persons. 2 numerically different Persons.
If God is in heaven and Jesus was on earth, this proves there are 2 Persons.
Or do you believe that God and Jesus are the same Person, and through the quality of omnipresence, Jesus can be on earth and in heaven at the same time?
first thanks for the reply, second lets take this one step at a time.
you said, "The Hebrew name for "God" in Genesis 1:1 is "Elohim"" ERROR, that;s what he is , not who he is in Name, know the difference in a name, "WHO", vs "WHAT".
now God name, (his personal), name as to WHO he is was not given in the OT, because he had not yet MANIFESTED in person yet. supportive Scripture, Isaiah 52:6 "Therefore my people
shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that
I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I."
shall is a future designation, which was fulfilled when he came in person/flesh. listen, he said, "
I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I." when was this fulfilled, answer, John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that
I am he, ye shall die in your sins."
now if you cannot believe that, then you're still in your sins. please understand, "I AM" or I AM THAT I AM or H1961 הָיָה hayah (haw-yaw)
v. is a VERB, and not a NOUN. verbs don't identify the person, but verbs identify the "ACTION" of the person. look at H1961 הָיָה hayah (haw-yaw)
v again, it's a VERB. verbs tell us "WHAT" you are, I AM King, I AM Father, I AM Saviour, ect........ but the Noun tells us "WHO, the King is, the Father, and the Saviour is by NAME. scripture, Matthew 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." JESUS/YESHUA , Hebrew origin (H3442 ),
H3442 יֵשׁוַּע Yeshuwa` (yay-shoo'-ah) n/l.
1. he will save.
and notice it's a NOUN. meaning "WHO" he is in NAME, not "WHAT" he is in Name, but "WHO" that's why Baptize in the Name of "JESUS", one name,
You said, "
If God is in heaven and Jesus was on earth, this proves there are 2 Persons".
ERROR, that ONE PERSON, Shared. scripture, Philippians 2:6 "
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
to be equal with God:"
well God have no equal. so that kills any two persons.
one name, one person, one Spirit, diversified.
now let me ask you a question, Isaiah 44:8 "Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not
I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside
me? yea, there is no God;
I know not any."
ok, Gregory. how many person(s), is "ME?" ...... one correct, now this ONE person.. "ME" said, "BESIDE" him, him, there is no God. me is a single person desigination, and the term "beside" means, at the side of; next to. and he said that there is no one at his side, or next to him. now if God/the he, or the "ME" in the vers, said, "
I know not any", so how do you know any, and "
I" is a single PERSON, a Single PERSON, designation.
again, if he say, "
I know not any", who is you to add to the Word of God?....... well.
