    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    There are still many more ways to identify Jehovah, the God of the OT, as the God mentioned by Jesus and the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures. One of them is the application of the following text from the pre-Christian Scriptures: Ps. 2:7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah...

    1Peter 3:18

    Very accurate info. Jesus was the "cornerstone" of the real God's spiritual temple (Ps. 118:22; Matt. 21:42) or the head of THE BODY, like some people say: of the Church. I agree with you, that when he said he would rise "the temple of his body" (John 2:21) he was referring to the "one and...

    Why does darkness not comprehend the light?

    In a strictly literal sense, no matter how dark there is, if a light is turned on, the darkness cannot prevent it from spreading. Jesus used a similar example in Matt. 5:14-16. The area of Galilee was considered an area of spiritually lost people, because it had a history of being an area with...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    This topic is not about the English form Jehovah that translates the Tetragrammaton in so many Bibles since centuries ago ... I do accept and will use that form because everyone who speaks English knows to whom it refers to and who is Jehovah, and certainly you do not know what God thinks about...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    When the Scriptures are studied thoroughly, conscientiously, we discover many truths that are rarely discussed. For example, in Heb. 1:1,2 we read the following: (KJV) Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    In the same Psalm quoted before, we read the following: Ps. 110:4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever In the manner of Melchizedek!” Only there can we read about the appointment of Jesus as a priest ... According to this text, who swore that...

    1Peter 3:18

    I totally agree with you, @BARNEY BRIGHT . Spiritual beings like angels have a body that is not like ours, but is distinguishable from each other. That individual characteristic allows them to have their own personal name, such as the angel Gabriel or the Archangel Michael. They can also...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Another way to identify Jehovah in the NT is related to this Hebrew text: Psal.110:1 Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” According to that Psalm, who would sit Jesus at the right hand of Him? That is the only pre-Christian...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    If we read the Pentateuch carefully, we will realize that Jehovah told Moses that he would raise up a prophet like himself in the future: Deut. 18:15 Jehovah your God will raise up for you from among your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to him. 16 This is in response to what you...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    So? What is your point? I am not talking about that here.

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    @Heart2Soul You said before that God has a name and you said is Yahweh. Now you are trying to tell that nobody knew God's name before Moses. What is your point exactly? I don't wanna loose my time without knowing what is the point you are trying to remark in this topic ... which is about that I...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    Psal. 83:18 is a good example. When Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt, he caused his name to be mentioned in many surrounding lands. When the Israelites were about to enter Canaan to conquer it, the Canaanites had already heard about the victories of JEHOVAH, the God of the Israelites. All...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The trinity is not in the Bible ... Nor it is in the Bible "the eternal" as the name of God, and much less in Mark 12:29, which is a quote from Deut. 6:4,5.

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    This topic is not about the trinity. It is about the expression I AM which some people say is a name of God, based on what he told Moses. I have demonstrated throughout the thread with reasonable arguments, that such a name of God does not exist. That invention was after the first century...

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Did someone who knew Jesus in person or someone who lived at that time think he was God in the flesh? To understand biblical content as historical and real, I like to visualize myself at the time of the events I am reading about. If I had been a Jew in times when Jesus was a man and walked in...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    When Moses wrote the first books of the Bible, although he was recounting earlier events, the personal name of the Creator of the Universe was already very well known. The Israelites worshiped Jehovah by name, and that name distinguished their God from the rest of the gods of the neighboring...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    The personal name of the God of Abraham and of Jesus and his followers in diferent languages: Corean -여호와. Yeohowa Arabian - يهوه. Yahuh French - Jéhovah Portuguese - Jeová Hawaian - ʻO Iēhova Armenian - Եհովան. Yehovan Japanese - エホバ. Ehoba Amharic - ይሖዋ. Yiḥowa Cañares - ಯೆಹೋವನು...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    There is not any I AM that I know of ... I don't call my God with names that humans invent. I know my God has a proper name; I can read it in the Bible when I study it and it is there near 7,000 times, and it does not say Yahweh in the Bible I read ... but JEHOVAH, which is a form in English...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    Who are those "Jews who studied scripture" you refer to, and how did you find out what you say about them (if there is anything special that I can't know through my Bible study today)?

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Did you know that although the name of Jehovah does not appear in almost any version of the modern NT, it is never stopped speaking of him in the Christian Scriptures with other titles and descriptive terms that perfectly distinguish Him from Jesus, his Son? Here are some of them: 1) "the God...
