......................................... 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their...

.................................................. We finally have proof, then, that God's personal name is JEHOVAH: Ps. 83:18, KJV.

.............................................. What about the rest of the context? (1) As noted before, Thomas did not bow down, worship, etc. upon learning that it was really Jesus and saying 'my lord and my god.' He could not have just discovered that he was in the presence of God and acted...

............................................................. (1) Thomas had said (verse :25) that unless something happened he would “not believe.” What was it that Thomas refused to believe? Was it that he refused to believe that Jesus was equally God with the Father? There is certainly no...

................................................. Col. 1:16 - for in [en] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities—all things were created through [dia] him and for him. - RSV. Young’s Analytical...

..................................................... I find that the Greek word translated "Messenger" at Is. 9:6 in my Zondervan-published Septuagint is the same word used elsewhere for "Angel."

............................................... One way competent Bible scholars have interpreted the meaning of this name is with the understanding that it (as with many, if not most, of the other Israelites' personal names) does not apply directly to the Messiah (as we have already seen with...
