Here is the content of that post:
Where in this are you seeing a Scripture identifying YHWH as "the Father"? I don't see it. You are just running me in circles without giving an actual answer.
Much love!
Mark
Mark I'm glad you're asking question, this is the correct way to approach a discussion.
we will make it simple and straight to the point. connect the dot.. no we mean the LORD.
listen. Genesis 17:1 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine,
the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him,
I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect".
clearly the LORD is the "Almighty". now my question, who is the Almighty? thank you, for the Almighty said "
I", which is a single desigination, meaning ONE PERSON. follow so far. now the revelation he who is the LORD is the FATHER.
now the LORD is the Almighty who is described as ONE PERSON, the Almighty, meaning he's the
SOURCE of all things. supportive scripture, Isaiah 44:24 "Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb,
I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens
alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth
by myself".
now since you asked the right question we will give you the correct answer. by making and creating "all things", yes, he created all things, (Isaiah 45:18), he is called "FATHER" which is a "title". let's prove this, James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning". Father of Lights? ...
here in the book of James, God is describe as the "
FATHER" of lights. WHAT LIGHTS? while you're online, go to the blue letter bible, and look up the word "Father", or G3962 πατήρ pater (pa-teer'), here's the link,
Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
now, come down to "
Outline of Biblical Usage [?]". read all the definition on how "
father" is used in the bible. but pay attention to outline III,
III. God is called the Father
of
the stars,
the heavenly luminaries,
because he is their creator, upholder, ruler
and the term luminaries, or luminary, according to dictionary.com is, a celestial body, as the sun or moon. hold it why is God called, called, called, the "Father" of the stars, and the heavenly luminaries? because he's their "CREATOR" see, "Father" is a title of the PERSON who is the CREATOR, and MAKER of all things. just as "Jabal" is the "father" of those who dwells in tents, because he was the first do dwell in tents. Genesis 4:20 "And Adah bare Jabal: he was
the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle".
so God is
called the "
Father" of the sun and the moon, because he created and made them. see "Father" is a title, and not a person. "Father" is a title of a PERSON.
that's why in Psalms 148:1 "Praise ye
the LORD. Praise ye
the LORD from the heavens: praise
him in the heights.
Psalms 148:2 "Praise ye
him, all
his angels: praise ye
him, all
his hosts.
Psalms 148:3 "Praise ye
him,
sun and moon: praise
him, all ye stars of light". Stars of "LIGHT", hence the reason why he, is called, the "Father" of LIGHTS". because he created them, just like us he created and MADE us. scripture, Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". and NOTHING was made unless he made it.
John 1:3 "All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made". so it was the LORD who made everything, and it is JESUS who made all thing, which makes JESUS the LORD the creator, and maker of all things.
conclusion, "Father" is simply a TITLE for a PERSON, and NOT a PERSON itself. and that Person is the Lord JESUS who made and created all things. see it now.
for the WORD who is Jesus "MADE" all things, hence "
his" title, "Father".
