I’m sorry. What verse says Jesus is YHWH? Just 1 will do.
Funny. 2 don’t make a trinity.
I have already shown this on here before, but you choose to ignore what the Bible says, especially when your views are shown to be in error
Again I will ask, WHO is the Speaker, in context, in Isaiah 48:16, Who says that He is being Sent by ANOTHER Person, Who is "Adonay Yahweh”? to help you, here are some of the things that this Speaker says, "in verse 3, “
I have declared the former things from the beginning”, and verse 5, “
I have even from the beginning declared it to you”. In verse 12 and 13 the Speaker says, “Listen to Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called;
I am He, I am the First,
I also am the Last.
My hand has also laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens”. In verse 15 we read, “
I, even I have spoken, yes, and I have called him. In verse 17 it says, Thus said
Yahweh, your
Redeemer, the
Holy One of Israel; I am
Yahweh your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go". Very clear that the Speaker is YHWH!
Zechariah 2:6-11
“Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,’
says Yahweh; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’
says Yahweh. ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’ For
Yahweh of Armies says: ‘For Honor
He has sent Me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that
Yahweh of Armies has sent Me. Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I Come, and I will dwell within you,’
says Yahweh. Many nations shall join themselves to
Yahweh in that day, and shall be My people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that
Yahweh of Armies has sent Me to you”
This is one of the clearest passages in the Old Testament, where we read of Two distinct Persons, Who are called, Yahweh.
The passage teaches about the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is clear that the Speaker is Yahweh, Who says that He is “Sent” by Another Person, Who is “Yahweh of Armies”. The One Who is “Sent”, cannot be the same Person, as the One who “Sends”, they are very much distinct, but coequal.
In Matthew 11:10, and the other Gospels, Jesus says: "For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you"
In the original words found in Malachi 3:1, where the Speaker is Yahweh. The Greek of Matthew 11:10 ( Mark 1:1-3; Luke 7:27), the words are neither from the Hebrew or Greek (LXX) of the passage in Malachi. Instead, The Lord Jesus Christ, on His own Authority, has changed the words, so that they refer directly to Himself, what is in Malachi, of Yahweh. Jesus has changed the first person, “before Me (μου)”, to the second person, “before thee (σου)”. In the passage in Malachi, Yahweh speaks of the “messenger”, who is John the Baptist, as His forerunner, “going before Him”. Jesus, by changing the pronoun, appropriates what Yahweh Speaks in Malachi, to Himself, and makes John the Baptist as His own “messenger”, who went before Him! In the passage in Malachi, we also have the Coming of the “the Messenger (Angel) of the Covenant”, Who is “the Lord ('âdôn) Whom you seek”, before Whom John the Baptist went to “prepare the Way”!
Matthew 3:3, and the other Gospels, also teaches that John the Baptist was the Forerunner of Yahweh, as in Jesus Christ, “God manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16. Pauls words)
“For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the Way of the Lord, make His paths straight.”
In the original verse in Isaiah 40:3, it reads, “The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the Way of the LORD (Yahweh), make straight in the desert a highway for our God”
By using this passage in Isaiah for the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Gospels, is beyond any doubt, one of the strongest evidences in Scripture, for the absolute Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ! Only those who doubt the Word of God, will doubt this about Jesus Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 10:9, Paul says:
“We must not put the Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents”
This verse is a clear quotation from the Old Testament passage in Numbers, where it reads:
“Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.” So Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.” (21:4-6)
In this passage in Numbers, it is clear that the children of Israel complained against “'ĕlôhı̂ym”. It then goes on to say, that “Yahweh” sent “fiery serpents among the people”, that killed many.
On the Name “Yahweh, the Hebrew and English Lexicon, by F Brown, S R Driver and C A Briggs, says:
“Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel...the one bringing into being, life-giver, giver of existence, creator, he who brings to pass...he who causes...the one who is: i.e. the absolute and unchangeable one, the existing, ever-living” (pages 217-218)
In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul, writing under the Inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, says that this “Yahweh” in Numbers 21:6, is Jesus Christ.
VERY CLEAR Teaching from the Bible, where Jesus Christ is YHWH.
For the Holy Spirit, He is also YHWH
2 Samuel 23:2,
“The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue”.
Here we have the Hebrew “דִּבֶּר־בִּי”, “Speaks by me”, which is in the masculine, singular. Also, “וּמִלָּתוֹ”, “His word”, is masculine singular, both referring to “רוּח”, “the Spirit”. The subject here is “רוּח”, Who spoke the very Words through David, as though the Spirit Himself was the Speaker. The words in verse 3, also are of the Holy Spirit, “The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God”. In this passage, we have the “Personality” and Deity of the Holy Spirit, where He is called Yahweh and Elohim
In Isaiah 40:13-14 we read:
“Who has directed the Spirit of YHWH, Or man of counsel of Him he makes Him known? With whom [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know the way of understanding?”
The Words “who taught Him”, is in the Masoretic Text (MT), of the Hebrew Old Testament, “יודיענו”. However, in the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS), it reads, “יודיענה”, which is literally, “who taught Her”, as it is feminine and not masculine. The MT refers back to “יְהוָ֑ה (YHWH)”; whereas the DSS, refers to, “ר֖וּחַ (Spirit)”. The reading of the DSS does not mean that the “Spirit” is “female”, but is grammatical, for agreement with “Spirit”, and not “YHWH”, though in this case, “The Spirit of YHWH”, is One and the same Person. Even with the feminine reading, the English would read, “Him”. All of what is said in this passage, is spoken of the Holy Spirit, Who is Almighty God
Again VERY CLEAR that the Holy Spirit is YHWH, which, as we can see from the older reading in the DSS, which refers the words to the Holy Spirit, has been corrupted by the Jewish copyists, to remove this reference to the Deity of the Holy Spirit.
This is BIBLICAL Evidence, we have THREE distinct Persons Who are equally YHWH!
