Who Is The God Of The Bible
---William on 6/19/06
David, you are calling Jesus a liar. Jesus clearly identified himself to mankind. Philip asked Jesus, "Lord show us the Father, and it satisfies us. Jesus says to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? the person that has seen me has seen The Father, therefore how say you, Show us the Father? Believe me that I in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me because of the very miracles' sake. I and Father are one. The person that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. And the person that sees me sees him that sent me. I am come Light to the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness." Jn.14:8,9,11+ 10:30+ 12:44-46.
JackB, A-men. "Who is this King of glory? Yhwh of hosts, he the King of glory. Exalt. The voice of Yhwh upon the waters. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. and straightway Jesus spoke to them saying, Take courage: I AM, be not afraid." Ps.24:10+ 29:3+ Mt.14:25,27.
David-You can address Eloy personally
///Jesus is Yhwh, Yeshuah is Yhwh God. Both testaments declare this.
---Eloy on 11/1/10 ---Amen Eloy.
//Jesus was born in the natural way through a woman.David8318 on 11/1/10///
Huh--? Son of God---Man was not His father--that is not natural.
//Honour is not the same as worship. Christians are commanded to honour both the Son and the Father, but worship only the Father- Jehovah, as commanded by Christ at Matthew 4:10.
---David8318 on 11/1/10//
Same definition for honor-others used to justify bowing down praying to idols-enemy convinces-honor them but not worship.
Believe HIS WORD and no other-that would be anti. Matt4:4-10 IF you believe this-you are BELIEVING IN HIS WORD.
Who has the power to forgive sins but God?
Who has been given all power in heaven and in earth?
Who is the only Savior of the world? (check your old testament scriptures)
Who has the power to die and raise his own life again? (John 10:18)
The New Testament even tells us that the man who denies that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is of the spirit of antichrist. (1 Jn 4:2 and 2 Jn 1:7)
That means we must know that God himself came into this world in a fleshly body to experience our temptation and show us that a sinless life could have been lived. Then he laid down his life for us.
Jesus is YOUR God (in the flesh). You might wanna start all over again. Apparently you missed something in scripture.
///-JackB claims 'God' and 'the Son of God' are one and the same by the scripture that says, 'He that (does not) honor the Son (does not) honor the Father that sent Him.'- Jo.5:23. (Parts in brackets omitted by JackB)David8318 on 11/1/10///
---You can address Jack directly---Good job Jack-In agreement-Amen.
The Word OUT of Yehovah mouth-OUT mouth of the prophets ,OUT of mouth Word in flesh--Declare Him-One.Is55:11,Jn14-15-16,Zech 14:9 The Lord my God will come...Lord will be ONE and His name ONE.

Jesus' answer is in response to a question regarding his age, not his identity. Thus, a correct rendering is, '...I have been'.
---David8318 on 11/1/10
Age--really?
The Word became flesh-Jn1:1 the Word of Yehovah is eternal-flesh ceased-the Word forever exist-(proven by the Resurrection).
Son of man-Son of God.
Yehovah said Beside Him there is no other.Is44:6,Is43:11
David,go study the correct definitions to the ancient Hebrew-letters-use the WORD of GOD-STUDY Yehovah WORD,by His Spirit-Please.INSTEAD of theologian-scripture lawyers.
Have you ever been to court---see how the lawyers debate? no truth just past debates.
Iohn 8:58, I am.
Exodus 3:14, I AM.
CHRIST made clear that he is God. The next verse Iohn 8:59, Then toke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid him self, and went out of the Temple: And he passed through the mids of them, and so went his way.
---Kev on 11/1/10
Christ the 'Son of God' is not God incarnate. (Eloy's comments 11/1/10) Incarnate is not a Bible teaching. Jesus was born in the natural way through a woman. If Jesus was to incarnate himself, surely he could have done so without being born in the natural way.
The un-Biblical terms Eloy uses- 'Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh', are found only in the minds of trinitarians promoting the Egypto-Babylonian triads that existed in Satan's world centuries before the Christian era.
Pagan Greek philosophers used Plato's philosophy of metaphysics to breach the gap between a triad and a triune God. Thus, Neo-platonist trinitarians can say: 'we worship One God in three- Father, Son and HolySpirit- Jesus is God in the flesh'.
Eloy, Jesus Christ is the 'Son of God' and not AlmightyGod the Father- YHWH. Jesus Christ is 'the Son'. Jehovah is 'the Father' as both testaments will agree.
You use trinitarian Bibles that erroneously mistranslate John 1:1. An accurate rendering will say 'and the Word was a god'. The Word is not the God it is with. Greek grammar and context agree with this rendering. The word 'theos' appears differently in John 1:1 when applied to 'the Word'.
1 Timothy 3:16 refers to Jesus Christ and reads, 'He was made manifest in the flesh'. You believe 'God was manifest in the flesh'? So who then 'raised up' God? You do not believe God is always glorified? Who died- GodAlmighty who is eternal or God's son? Mt.27:54.
Kev insists that John 8:58 is "exactly as in Exodus 3:14". This is not true.
Ex.3:14 in LXX reads, 'Ego eimi ho Ohn' ('I am the Being'). This is different from the sentence structure of John 8:58, 'prin Abra-am ge-ne-sthai ego eimi'. The verb 'eimi', at John 8:58, is in the 'historical present' (ie. it antedates the differentiation into imperfect and aorist). Jesus was speaking about himself in relation to Abrahams past. Other translators agree- eg, Moffatt & Goodspeed.
Thus, 'prin Abra-am ge-ne-sthai ego eimi', is accurately rendered, 'Before Abraham came into existence, I have been.'
David, Jesus is Yhwh, Yeshuah is Yhwh God. Both testaments declare this.
Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh: "In the beginning being the Word, and the Word being from God, and God being the Word. This One being in beginning from God. He being in the world, and by him the world came into being, and the world knew him not. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed in world, elevated up with glory." Jn.1:1,2,10,14+ Col.2:9+ I Tm.3:16.
///..righteous Branch...
---micha9344 on 10/29/10///
Amen Micha9344
---David,
Yehovah spoke-His Word proceeded out of His mouth-to those who believe-they can save them from deception.If it is Not the Words of Yehovah one is believing in-they will not be saved from the deception of another word-believed instead.----anti.
Y sh ah'.(yehoshu'a name/word(yah),form of the name/word YHWH)yeshu'ah, meaning "rescue.""Yah is rescue" Aramaic form of the Hebrew name yeshu'a."Jesus"-Latin transliteration of the Greek Iesous, which is the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic Yeshua, Aramaic transliteration of the Hebrew Yehoshuah.
So, JackB claims 'God' and 'the Son of God' are one and the same by the scripture that says, 'He that (does not) honor the Son (does not) honor the Father that sent Him.'- Jo.5:23. (Parts in brackets omitted by JackB)
In JackB's mind then, to 'honour' someone in the same way as another makes them all co-equal, co-eternal and share the same name.
Thus scriptures that state, 'Honour your father and your mother' (Eph.6:2), JackB must believe father's and mother's are all the same age
and share the same name.
Honour is not the same as worship. Christians are commanded to honour both the Son and the Father, but worship only the Father- Jehovah, as commanded by Christ at Matthew 4:10.
I do not agree with Eloy's understanding of Revelation 1:8. It is Jehovah God who states at Revelation 1:8 that He is 'the Alpha and the Omega'.
Revelation 1:1-7 speaks of 2 individuals from whom 'peace' is derived, "God... and from Jesus Christ 'the Faithful Witness'..."
Verse 7 concludes Jesus' introduction with an 'Amen'. Verse 8 then introduces the reader to Jehovah God Almighty as 'the Alpha and the Omega'.
'"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Jehovah God, "the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty."' Revelation 1:8.
David-you can speak to me directly-I am right here--//Even Char makes a howling mistake claiming God's Son is 'El Shaddai' ///David8318 on 10/31/10
Do you think Gods Word are not His once they became flesh-God is eternal-that does not change just because He spoke Words and they Became Flesh.Jn1:1
again David---Word out of the mouth of God brings Peace-life-(nourishment)to the understanding. -He chose hebrew-not modern but the ancient IN Beginnig.El Shaddia-pictorgraph-to letter defined means "mighty breast(teats)" milk to babes-meat to the mature.>Is 9:6-unto us a child is born...
Matt 10:10-25 Immanuel-God with us
Unbelief is not strong enough to change Gods Word-just understanding.
Kev-In agreement.
///Kev comments that the letter J is not in the original Hebrew, which is true.David8318 on 10/31/10///
--David-you can probably speak to Kev directly---
The J is Y-Yod.
Yod Gematria is 10 for completion and order.
God chose these letters for a reason. Yod is the smallest of the Hebrew letters,"atom" of the consonants and form all the other letters Begin to End-"hook and doorway" of creation--Yehovah Witness with accuracy-He will not be mocked Gal 6:7. Starting with each letter.
Yeshua-Y-sh-ah'
The first letter(sign) of God's Name,Yod shows He is Spirit,He is ONE and from Him drive all other things by the power of His Word-Y-sh-ah'
\\In the 16th century English, if the word ''our'' is typed in lowercase, then the u stands. If it's spelled in uppercase letters, then it is spelled ''OVR''.\\
This is an example. The letter u in lowercase would be spelled as V when it's uppercase. Another example of this, ''Luke'' in capital letters becomes ''LVKE''.
So, that is why I belieue that Iehouah would be spelled as IEHOVA in uppercase letters.
The letter J is lacking in the Hebrew originals. It was not that long ago that the letter J was introduced into the 1629 KJV. In fact, King James was known as King Iames in 1611.
William Tyndale,the Geneva Bible translators confessed that Iesus Christ is God.
(s, medial s)
---Kev on 10/31/10
Iohn 8:58, Iesus said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
CHRIST is God. Notice that Iesus Christ says, "I am" in Iohn 8:58 exactly as in Exodus 3:14.
(s, long s) The 1560 Geneva Bible is from the 16th Century.
David, Jesus says of himself: I AM the Alpha and the Omega, Beginning and Ultimate, says the Lord, which from being, and which to being, and which coming, THE ALMIGHTY." Rev.1:8.
---Eloy on 10/31/10
Kev comments that the letter J is not in the original Hebrew, which is true. So therefore, Kev evidently has a problem with the words 'Joshua', 'Judges', 'Jeremiah', 'Jerusalem' or any other Hebrew word translated with the letter J found in it?
Jehovah is fine for many as is Yahweh or Iehouah. The point being, God's personal name should be used. Jesus made his Father's name 'manifest'- Jo.17:6.
Also, only Jehovah is given the title 'El Shaddai'- God Almighty. Nobody else is given this title, not even the Son of God.
---David8318 on 10/31/10
"Know you all that Yhwh, he God, none else. And his name will be called Immanuel: for God with us. And His name will be called The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. And Jesus went to them, walking on the sea, and said, Take courage: I am, be not afraid. I am Light to the world. You all call me The LORD, indeed you all say well, for I am. I am from above, I am not of this world. For if you all believe not that I AM, you all will die in your sins. I am the Alpha and the Omega, Beginning and Ultimate, says the Lord, which from being, and which to being, and which coming, The Almighty." Dt.4:39+ I Kg.8:60+ Ps.100:3+ Is.45:5+ 7:14+ 8:10+ 9:6+ Mt.14:25,27+ Jn.9:5+ 13:13+ 8:23,24+ Rev.1:8.
As anticipated, and as shown by the trinitarian responses so far, the expression "Jesus Christ Almighty" is not found in the Bible, but only in the minds of misguided people, falsely taught that Jesus is 'God' or 'God Almighty'.
Even Char makes a howling mistake claiming God's Son is 'El Shaddai' at Isaiah 9:6. This is simply not true. 'El Shaddai' is not used at Isaiah 9:6. Rather, the Hebrew title 'El Gibbohr' is used meaning 'Mighty Divine One', or 'Mighty God', and is a prophetic description of God's Son- the 'Prince of Peace'.
Isaiah 9:6 speaks of a 'son' and 'Prince', not the Father. A Prince is obviously a 'son' and is a prophetic reference not to AlmightyGod, but to God's Son, Jesus Christ.
Micha9344, the scriptures you cite at Psalms, Jeremiah and Acts clearly show that Jesus the 'Son of God', is the one sent by Jehovah to be our saviour. Thus "Salvation belongs to Jehovah" (Psalms 3:8) because Jehovah sent His Son to die on our behalf.
That's why Jesus made his Father's name manifest (Jo.17:6) and why Paul quoting Joel 2:32 wrote at Romans 10:13, 'For everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved'. (Joel 2:32 contains Jehovah's name in the Hebrew form YHWH, which is why 'Jehovah' should be used at Romans 10:13)
God's Son is prophetically referred to as 'Jehovah Our Righteousness' at Jeremiah 23:6 for the same reasons Jerusalem is also at Jeremiah 33:16. Jerusalem is not also Jehovah is it?
To know who God is, one does not have to go anywhere outside of the Holy Bible. He clearly declares who He is from Genesis to Revelation.
But as to one "believing" in his Word, it's really up to God. And if He does not give one the "gift of faith" - nobody will ever believe in Him.
2 Cor 4:6 - "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
Does it say that it is man who "commanded light to shine out of darkness."? Most definitely not! So, unless God shines His light in us through grace, we are walking in darkness - not knowing and believing who God is.
---christan on 10/31/10
William Tyndale's Old Testament translation at Exodus chapter 15, The Lorde is a man of warre Iehouah is his name:
The 1560 Geneva Bible at Exodus 15:3, The Lord is a man of warre, his Name is Iehouah.
Iehouah is his Name. Truly.
The letter J is not in the Hebrew originals.
(note: In the 16th century English, if the word "our" is typed in lowercase, then the u stands. If it's spelled in uppercase letters, then it is spelled "OVR".)
---Kev on 10/30/10
Moshiah-verb/noun-written in the participle form. God is not one who has delivered (past tense) and he is not the one who will deliver (future tense) he is the one who "IS DELIVERING" (present tense).
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save (the verb Y-Sh-Ah/rescue) us: this is the LORD, we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation (yeshu'ah/relief). Isaiah 25:9)

Agree-God of the Bible is Yehovah whose Word became flesh.Jn1:1

///I would be interested to be shown any scripture that identifies Jesus Christ as 'Almighty'. Where does the Bible say 'Jesus Christ Almighty'? ///
already explained and confirmed through ancient hebrew.
//The prophecies in the Hebrew scriptures never state that 'El Shaddai'(God Almighty) was to become 'Messiah'(Christ).
David8318 on 10/29/10///
again-Is 9:6-7.---El Shaddai defined literaly "mighty teat"'might one"
He provides- through His Word and Spirit(Matt 1:10-26)
Milk to the babes-Meat to the mature.
IN Beginning to End Yehovah is One.Declared-End from Beginning-Each letter to Word defines His plan.He is One-His Name is ONE.Zech 14:9
In Word Yehovah swares by it.-Is 45:23 I have sworn by Myself,the Word is GONE OUT OF MY MOUTH[in]righteousness,shall not return,That unto ME every knee shall bow,every tongue shall swear.
How do WE know Him without His Word? Without His Word spoken-there's silence-Aleph-HE knows us.
HE SAID-HE IS Aleph to Tav-Declares that End from Beginning Is46:10 HIS Word became flesh-bearing witness of Himself.Spoken Word-Jn14:10 Believest thou not that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN ME? the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you I SPEAK NOT of MYSELF: but the Father that dwelleth IN ME,HE doeth the WORKS.
Yehovah declares He is saviour.
Is43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD, and beside 1107 me [there is] no saviour
This is the Word of Yehovah-Is 43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD, and beside me [there is] no saviour
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer (moshi'ah) to the children of Israel, who delivered (the verb Y-Sh-Ah) them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. (KJV, Judges 3:9)
he God of my rock, in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour (moshi'ah), thou savest (the verb Y-Sh-Ah) me from violence. (KJV, 2 Samuel 22:3)
Definately agree with Eloy on this one.
He that honors the Son honors the Father that sent Him.
---JackB on 10/30/10
I agree with scott. The God of the Bible is Jehovah, which is his personal name as found in the Hebrew Tetragrammaton- YHWH. (Psalms 83:18, older editions KJV)
Jesus said, quoting Deut.6:13 where Jehovah's name appears, "it is Jehovah your God you must worship..." - Matthew 4:10.
I would be interested to be shown any scripture that identifies Jesus Christ as 'Almighty'. Where does the Bible say 'Jesus Christ Almighty'?
The prophecies in the Hebrew scriptures never state that 'El Shaddai' (God Almighty) was to become 'Messiah' (Christ).

You might not know this nor understand it, folks, But, here it is, anyways. JESUS IS GOD..... Who is the God of the Bible? He is Creator and sustainer of the universe who has PROVIDED HUMANKIND with a revelation of Himself through the natural world and through His Son, Jesus Christ.... I have a question:: Why do that keep calling it, "mother nature"?>>> The Bible does not seek to prove the existence of God, it simply affirms it, by declaring, "IN THE BEGINNING GOD".... Jesus said, "He that has seen me, has seen the Father. God in the flesh. JESUS+
Yeshua, Jesus is the messiah one in whom came to save the people who first did not believe to redeem them from the final death.
In many times equated himself to YAHWEH and in every way is as the father, but he is the begotten son of the father, there is no trinity, there is only the word.
Jesus became the word took on flesh to fulfil the promise in us who were lost and the Jews who did not accept him, who still to this day as a nation do not accept that Christ is indeed the saviour.
---Carla on 10/24/10
Well, the God of Scripture is utterly unique and thus share His glory with no other created thing---Furthermore, this is why God alone is to be worshiped, trusted, and obeyed....As the covenant Lord, God is both transcendent over and imminent in His world. God alone is the all-powerful Creator, and Lord, and everything else is His creation. He alone is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, and in need of nothing outside of Himself....This presentation of God distinguishes Christian theism from all forms of dualism, pantheism, or polytheism. God is also imminent that is, involved and present in His world. Shaping and governing it towards its eternally planned end.

As the Psalter says, "By the WORD of the LORD were all the heavens made, and all their hosts by the SPIRIT of His mouth."
In Genesis 18, when Abraham bowed down before God in a tri-personal form of the three angels, he asked "What does my Lord [literally YHVH] want"--not "What do my lords want"?
God is Father son and holy spirit. it's in there but not the word Trinity (but guess what we use words to try to explain things and so do those that deny the trinity, I don't see anywhere in the bible where Michael the arch angel is Jesus but JW's seem to say it's there)
...not me, silly...
William - God sent His only Son Jesus Christ into this world to die on the Cross for your sins, then He (Jesus) rose from the dead. When Jesus went back to heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to live in those who believe in Him. That is Who the God of the Bible is.

william,he is the alpha and the omega.that means the begining and the end. there are also I believe 7 or 8 hebrew names for God,each name revealing a different side of his nature.but as dueteronomy says ,I the lord your God am one lord. This means he is the only God.

He has given me to know Him as The self existent one, all powerful, Divine in nature, Supreme in authority, The beginning and the end, The cause and controller of all existence, The foundation and basis of all intelligence, strength and ability. He is Love, truth, justice, and salvation. The force that is life, sustains life and makes me aware of life. I can't began to define him. I can only love, respect, honor and hold him in the highest regard. As Father LORD God Almighty.

Grace - I just happened to see your Blog. No way known was I laughing at you.... I was very cracked up laughing at what Elder wrote that is all, and I no way took it as being against you in any way, although I understand why you might have thought he was coming against you. My only concern is for you and your soul --- Jesus says that you MUST be born-again. We love you enough to tell you the truth ok. Bless you.
---Helen_5378 on 6/22/06
continued. So, what did I learn while here? That I must continue to open my mind to God's perspective, to continue to study and pray and I even got a tiny glimpse of what Jesus must have felt like when he was trying to convey a message. As for any further conversations, I decline. I believe it would be more productive for me to discourse with Gnostic Christians, who are focused on the internal relationship with God and not afraid to look at a different perspective. May God be with you all.
Moderator - Grace, Christians are not going to approve of humanistic beliefs because those beliefs are against God. Would you rather have Christians agree with you even if it will send you to hell? That logic doesn't make sense unless you are not a Christian.
Helen, Leon....and others. I do appreciate your concern for my salvation. I feel however, that everything I have said here is in vain. My spiritual relationship with God is discounted as invalid because my understanding is different than the majority. Well, so be it. As for why I am on CN; I wanted discussion about God. But there is not much discussion, just finger pointing, condemnation and threats, which is not a positive learning environment. continued..
Well said Helen_5378 & Sue. I believe many bloggers here are very concerned for Grace's soul salvation ( no laughing matter ), that she may earnestly seek a genuine relationship with the true & living God of the Bible. I pray that's why you're on CN Grace.
It's all about "love" though we all express ourselves in many diverse ways (sometimes uppity -- talking about myself). Pray for me somebody! :-)
We love you Grace; but, God loves you above all .

Thank you, Sue; I undestand what you are saying.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. There is one God and he is in Jesus and he is a Spirit the only way to the one God the Father is though Jesus his Son. He that does not believe the Father is in the Son is an Anti-Christ.

Hi Grace,I dont THINK these people are laughing at you, I think they're just, in their own way, concerned about what you're proceeding as God. Sometimes people act kinda uppity though....I think they're trying to explain that God is not an element or a mother/father. The God in the Bible, that is.

Shira, OK.
IT's not letting me say just 2 words.
---Jack on 6/20/06
Jack, I am sorry. I re-read your post and you are exactly correct.
---shira on 6/20/06
Elder and Helen....I'm glad you at least got a laught from what I said!! Jesus taught that we should treat others as we would like to be treated.
Shira, please show me where I ever said that God was a three-fold spiritual angel.
I was referring to the visitation to Abraham as a TYPE or FIGURE of the Trinity.
Or is English simply not your first language?
Shira, I apologize, I misunderstood your question. Didnt catch that you were asking about angels.
---tofurabby on 6/20/06
tofurbby, I know God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, but my question was, show me scripture that says God is an angel. I know the Word was God. God created angels. How can God be an angel because God has always been and will always be.
Grace - On a serious note, to get to know God as He really is there is only way to do that and that is to read His word, the Bible. I can promise that you will find yourself very pleasantly surprised ok. Bless you.
Elder - Just couldn't help myself LOL -- that's the funniest thing I ever read LOL. Really needed that laugh with all the offended people there on here (not you bless you).
Grace it seems that we never get to know one another enough on these blogs. I would like to know if you married an element or have any little elements running around from your marriage. When you were a child element did you love the elements that raised you. Oh, by the way God is not an "element." He is God displayed in three persons. Get it Three persons not elements. May God bless you and all of the elements you love.
---Elder on 6/20/06
Shira, Let me answer that one for you:
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"... 14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..."
Father, Mother, Creation. Spiritual form, not male/not female.
Say what? The Bible speaks clearly enough about God to not be thrown into such confusion.
Creation is not God, nor is anyone's mother.
Helen, in my understanding of God, our Creator, there are the same 3 elements; however I see them as male/female, mother/father and creation is the result. It is a different perspective, free of patriarchal supremacy, based in equality and love. I just wanted to state what I believe and why; I'm not trying to gain the popular vote. :>))
Jack, please give me scripture as to where I can find God is a three-fold spiritual angel.
Grace - What you are proposing is maybe another god (notice lower case "g"), but definitely NOT the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit -- 3 persons in one God.

David, you are calling Jesus a liar. Jesus clearly identified himself to mankind. Philip asked Jesus, "Lord show us the Father, and it satisfies us. Jesus says to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? the person that has seen me has seen The Father, therefore how say you, Show us the Father? Believe me that I in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me because of the very miracles' sake. I and Father are one. The person that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. And the person that sees me sees him that sent me. I am come Light to the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness." Jn.14:8,9,11+ 10:30+ 12:44-46.
JackB, A-men. "Who is this King of glory? Yhwh of hosts, he the King of glory. Exalt. The voice of Yhwh upon the waters. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. and straightway Jesus spoke to them saying, Take courage: I AM, be not afraid." Ps.24:10+ 29:3+ Mt.14:25,27.

---David8318 on 11/1/10//
Same definition for honor-others used to justify bowing down praying to idols-enemy convinces-honor them but not worship.
Believe HIS WORD and no other-that would be anti. Matt4:4-10 IF you believe this-you are BELIEVING IN HIS WORD.
Who has the power to forgive sins but God?
Who has been given all power in heaven and in earth?
Who is the only Savior of the world? (check your old testament scriptures)
Who has the power to die and raise his own life again? (John 10:18)
The New Testament even tells us that the man who denies that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is of the spirit of antichrist. (1 Jn 4:2 and 2 Jn 1:7)
That means we must know that God himself came into this world in a fleshly body to experience our temptation and show us that a sinless life could have been lived. Then he laid down his life for us.
Jesus is YOUR God (in the flesh). You might wanna start all over again. Apparently you missed something in scripture.

Christ the 'Son of God' is not God incarnate. (Eloy's comments 11/1/10) Incarnate is not a Bible teaching. Jesus was born in the natural way through a woman. If Jesus was to incarnate himself, surely he could have done so without being born in the natural way.
The un-Biblical terms Eloy uses- 'Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh', are found only in the minds of trinitarians promoting the Egypto-Babylonian triads that existed in Satan's world centuries before the Christian era.
Pagan Greek philosophers used Plato's philosophy of metaphysics to breach the gap between a triad and a triune God. Thus, Neo-platonist trinitarians can say: 'we worship One God in three- Father, Son and HolySpirit- Jesus is God in the flesh'.
Eloy, Jesus Christ is the 'Son of God' and not AlmightyGod the Father- YHWH. Jesus Christ is 'the Son'. Jehovah is 'the Father' as both testaments will agree.
You use trinitarian Bibles that erroneously mistranslate John 1:1. An accurate rendering will say 'and the Word was a god'. The Word is not the God it is with. Greek grammar and context agree with this rendering. The word 'theos' appears differently in John 1:1 when applied to 'the Word'.
1 Timothy 3:16 refers to Jesus Christ and reads, 'He was made manifest in the flesh'. You believe 'God was manifest in the flesh'? So who then 'raised up' God? You do not believe God is always glorified? Who died- GodAlmighty who is eternal or God's son? Mt.27:54.
Kev insists that John 8:58 is "exactly as in Exodus 3:14". This is not true.
Ex.3:14 in LXX reads, 'Ego eimi ho Ohn' ('I am the Being'). This is different from the sentence structure of John 8:58, 'prin Abra-am ge-ne-sthai ego eimi'. The verb 'eimi', at John 8:58, is in the 'historical present' (ie. it antedates the differentiation into imperfect and aorist). Jesus was speaking about himself in relation to Abrahams past. Other translators agree- eg, Moffatt & Goodspeed.
Thus, 'prin Abra-am ge-ne-sthai ego eimi', is accurately rendered, 'Before Abraham came into existence, I have been.'
David, Jesus is Yhwh, Yeshuah is Yhwh God. Both testaments declare this.
Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh: "In the beginning being the Word, and the Word being from God, and God being the Word. This One being in beginning from God. He being in the world, and by him the world came into being, and the world knew him not. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed in world, elevated up with glory." Jn.1:1,2,10,14+ Col.2:9+ I Tm.3:16.

Y sh ah'.(yehoshu'a name/word(yah),form of the name/word YHWH)yeshu'ah, meaning "rescue.""Yah is rescue" Aramaic form of the Hebrew name yeshu'a."Jesus"-Latin transliteration of the Greek Iesous, which is the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic Yeshua, Aramaic transliteration of the Hebrew Yehoshuah.
So, JackB claims 'God' and 'the Son of God' are one and the same by the scripture that says, 'He that (does not) honor the Son (does not) honor the Father that sent Him.'- Jo.5:23. (Parts in brackets omitted by JackB)
In JackB's mind then, to 'honour' someone in the same way as another makes them all co-equal, co-eternal and share the same name.
Thus scriptures that state, 'Honour your father and your mother' (Eph.6:2), JackB must believe father's and mother's are all the same age
and share the same name.
Honour is not the same as worship. Christians are commanded to honour both the Son and the Father, but worship only the Father- Jehovah, as commanded by Christ at Matthew 4:10.
I do not agree with Eloy's understanding of Revelation 1:8. It is Jehovah God who states at Revelation 1:8 that He is 'the Alpha and the Omega'.
Revelation 1:1-7 speaks of 2 individuals from whom 'peace' is derived, "God... and from Jesus Christ 'the Faithful Witness'..."
Verse 7 concludes Jesus' introduction with an 'Amen'. Verse 8 then introduces the reader to Jehovah God Almighty as 'the Alpha and the Omega'.
'"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Jehovah God, "the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty."' Revelation 1:8.
David-you can speak to me directly-I am right here--//Even Char makes a howling mistake claiming God's Son is 'El Shaddai' ///David8318 on 10/31/10

///Kev comments that the letter J is not in the original Hebrew, which is true.David8318 on 10/31/10///
--David-you can probably speak to Kev directly---
The J is Y-Yod.
Yod Gematria is 10 for completion and order.
God chose these letters for a reason. Yod is the smallest of the Hebrew letters,"atom" of the consonants and form all the other letters Begin to End-"hook and doorway" of creation--Yehovah Witness with accuracy-He will not be mocked Gal 6:7. Starting with each letter.
Yeshua-Y-sh-ah'
The first letter(sign) of God's Name,Yod shows He is Spirit,He is ONE and from Him drive all other things by the power of His Word-Y-sh-ah'
\\In the 16th century English, if the word ''our'' is typed in lowercase, then the u stands. If it's spelled in uppercase letters, then it is spelled ''OVR''.\\
This is an example. The letter u in lowercase would be spelled as V when it's uppercase. Another example of this, ''Luke'' in capital letters becomes ''LVKE''.
So, that is why I belieue that Iehouah would be spelled as IEHOVA in uppercase letters.
The letter J is lacking in the Hebrew originals. It was not that long ago that the letter J was introduced into the 1629 KJV. In fact, King James was known as King Iames in 1611.
William Tyndale,the Geneva Bible translators confessed that Iesus Christ is God.

Kev comments that the letter J is not in the original Hebrew, which is true. So therefore, Kev evidently has a problem with the words 'Joshua', 'Judges', 'Jeremiah', 'Jerusalem' or any other Hebrew word translated with the letter J found in it?
Jehovah is fine for many as is Yahweh or Iehouah. The point being, God's personal name should be used. Jesus made his Father's name 'manifest'- Jo.17:6.
Also, only Jehovah is given the title 'El Shaddai'- God Almighty. Nobody else is given this title, not even the Son of God.
---David8318 on 10/31/10
"Know you all that Yhwh, he God, none else. And his name will be called Immanuel: for God with us. And His name will be called The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. And Jesus went to them, walking on the sea, and said, Take courage: I am, be not afraid. I am Light to the world. You all call me The LORD, indeed you all say well, for I am. I am from above, I am not of this world. For if you all believe not that I AM, you all will die in your sins. I am the Alpha and the Omega, Beginning and Ultimate, says the Lord, which from being, and which to being, and which coming, The Almighty." Dt.4:39+ I Kg.8:60+ Ps.100:3+ Is.45:5+ 7:14+ 8:10+ 9:6+ Mt.14:25,27+ Jn.9:5+ 13:13+ 8:23,24+ Rev.1:8.
As anticipated, and as shown by the trinitarian responses so far, the expression "Jesus Christ Almighty" is not found in the Bible, but only in the minds of misguided people, falsely taught that Jesus is 'God' or 'God Almighty'.
Even Char makes a howling mistake claiming God's Son is 'El Shaddai' at Isaiah 9:6. This is simply not true. 'El Shaddai' is not used at Isaiah 9:6. Rather, the Hebrew title 'El Gibbohr' is used meaning 'Mighty Divine One', or 'Mighty God', and is a prophetic description of God's Son- the 'Prince of Peace'.
Isaiah 9:6 speaks of a 'son' and 'Prince', not the Father. A Prince is obviously a 'son' and is a prophetic reference not to AlmightyGod, but to God's Son, Jesus Christ.
Micha9344, the scriptures you cite at Psalms, Jeremiah and Acts clearly show that Jesus the 'Son of God', is the one sent by Jehovah to be our saviour. Thus "Salvation belongs to Jehovah" (Psalms 3:8) because Jehovah sent His Son to die on our behalf.
That's why Jesus made his Father's name manifest (Jo.17:6) and why Paul quoting Joel 2:32 wrote at Romans 10:13, 'For everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved'. (Joel 2:32 contains Jehovah's name in the Hebrew form YHWH, which is why 'Jehovah' should be used at Romans 10:13)
God's Son is prophetically referred to as 'Jehovah Our Righteousness' at Jeremiah 23:6 for the same reasons Jerusalem is also at Jeremiah 33:16. Jerusalem is not also Jehovah is it?
To know who God is, one does not have to go anywhere outside of the Holy Bible. He clearly declares who He is from Genesis to Revelation.
But as to one "believing" in his Word, it's really up to God. And if He does not give one the "gift of faith" - nobody will ever believe in Him.
2 Cor 4:6 - "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
Does it say that it is man who "commanded light to shine out of darkness."? Most definitely not! So, unless God shines His light in us through grace, we are walking in darkness - not knowing and believing who God is.

Iehouah is his Name. Truly.

You might not know this nor understand it, folks, But, here it is, anyways. JESUS IS GOD..... Who is the God of the Bible? He is Creator and sustainer of the universe who has PROVIDED HUMANKIND with a revelation of Himself through the natural world and through His Son, Jesus Christ.... I have a question:: Why do that keep calling it, "mother nature"?>>> The Bible does not seek to prove the existence of God, it simply affirms it, by declaring, "IN THE BEGINNING GOD".... Jesus said, "He that has seen me, has seen the Father. God in the flesh. JESUS+
Yeshua, Jesus is the messiah one in whom came to save the people who first did not believe to redeem them from the final death.
In many times equated himself to YAHWEH and in every way is as the father, but he is the begotten son of the father, there is no trinity, there is only the word.
Jesus became the word took on flesh to fulfil the promise in us who were lost and the Jews who did not accept him, who still to this day as a nation do not accept that Christ is indeed the saviour.
---Carla on 10/24/10
Well, the God of Scripture is utterly unique and thus share His glory with no other created thing---Furthermore, this is why God alone is to be worshiped, trusted, and obeyed....As the covenant Lord, God is both transcendent over and imminent in His world. God alone is the all-powerful Creator, and Lord, and everything else is His creation. He alone is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, and in need of nothing outside of Himself....This presentation of God distinguishes Christian theism from all forms of dualism, pantheism, or polytheism. God is also imminent that is, involved and present in His world. Shaping and governing it towards its eternally planned end.

As the Psalter says, "By the WORD of the LORD were all the heavens made, and all their hosts by the SPIRIT of His mouth."
In Genesis 18, when Abraham bowed down before God in a tri-personal form of the three angels, he asked "What does my Lord [literally YHVH] want"--not "What do my lords want"?
God is Father son and holy spirit. it's in there but not the word Trinity (but guess what we use words to try to explain things and so do those that deny the trinity, I don't see anywhere in the bible where Michael the arch angel is Jesus but JW's seem to say it's there)
...not me, silly...
William - God sent His only Son Jesus Christ into this world to die on the Cross for your sins, then He (Jesus) rose from the dead. When Jesus went back to heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to live in those who believe in Him. That is Who the God of the Bible is.

william,he is the alpha and the omega.that means the begining and the end. there are also I believe 7 or 8 hebrew names for God,each name revealing a different side of his nature.but as dueteronomy says ,I the lord your God am one lord. This means he is the only God.

He has given me to know Him as The self existent one, all powerful, Divine in nature, Supreme in authority, The beginning and the end, The cause and controller of all existence, The foundation and basis of all intelligence, strength and ability. He is Love, truth, justice, and salvation. The force that is life, sustains life and makes me aware of life. I can't began to define him. I can only love, respect, honor and hold him in the highest regard. As Father LORD God Almighty.

Grace - I just happened to see your Blog. No way known was I laughing at you.... I was very cracked up laughing at what Elder wrote that is all, and I no way took it as being against you in any way, although I understand why you might have thought he was coming against you. My only concern is for you and your soul --- Jesus says that you MUST be born-again. We love you enough to tell you the truth ok. Bless you.

continued. So, what did I learn while here? That I must continue to open my mind to God's perspective, to continue to study and pray and I even got a tiny glimpse of what Jesus must have felt like when he was trying to convey a message. As for any further conversations, I decline. I believe it would be more productive for me to discourse with Gnostic Christians, who are focused on the internal relationship with God and not afraid to look at a different perspective. May God be with you all.
Moderator - Grace, Christians are not going to approve of humanistic beliefs because those beliefs are against God. Would you rather have Christians agree with you even if it will send you to hell? That logic doesn't make sense unless you are not a Christian.
Helen, Leon....and others. I do appreciate your concern for my salvation. I feel however, that everything I have said here is in vain. My spiritual relationship with God is discounted as invalid because my understanding is different than the majority. Well, so be it. As for why I am on CN; I wanted discussion about God. But there is not much discussion, just finger pointing, condemnation and threats, which is not a positive learning environment. continued..
Well said Helen_5378 & Sue. I believe many bloggers here are very concerned for Grace's soul salvation ( no laughing matter ), that she may earnestly seek a genuine relationship with the true & living God of the Bible. I pray that's why you're on CN Grace.
It's all about "love" though we all express ourselves in many diverse ways (sometimes uppity -- talking about myself). Pray for me somebody! :-)
We love you Grace; but, God loves you above all .
---Leon on 6/21/06
like your answer Paul, simple, true. God truly is able.

There is only one King of kings, and Lord of lords, and his Almighty Name in English is Jesus Christ.
---Eloy on 6/21/06
Thank you, Sue; I undestand what you are saying.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. There is one God and he is in Jesus and he is a Spirit the only way to the one God the Father is though Jesus his Son. He that does not believe the Father is in the Son is an Anti-Christ.

Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.Ephesians 4:5-6 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Hi Grace,I dont THINK these people are laughing at you, I think they're just, in their own way, concerned about what you're proceeding as God. Sometimes people act kinda uppity though....I think they're trying to explain that God is not an element or a mother/father. The God in the Bible, that is.
---sue on 6/20/06
Shira, OK.
IT's not letting me say just 2 words.
---Jack on 6/20/06
Jack, I am sorry. I re-read your post and you are exactly correct.
---shira on 6/20/06
Elder and Helen....I'm glad you at least got a laught from what I said!! Jesus taught that we should treat others as we would like to be treated.
Shira, please show me where I ever said that God was a three-fold spiritual angel.
I was referring to the visitation to Abraham as a TYPE or FIGURE of the Trinity.
Or is English simply not your first language?
Shira, I apologize, I misunderstood your question. Didnt catch that you were asking about angels.
---tofurabby on 6/20/06
tofurbby, I know God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, but my question was, show me scripture that says God is an angel. I know the Word was God. God created angels. How can God be an angel because God has always been and will always be.
Grace - On a serious note, to get to know God as He really is there is only way to do that and that is to read His word, the Bible. I can promise that you will find yourself very pleasantly surprised ok. Bless you.
Elder - Just couldn't help myself LOL -- that's the funniest thing I ever read LOL. Really needed that laugh with all the offended people there on here (not you bless you).
Grace it seems that we never get to know one another enough on these blogs. I would like to know if you married an element or have any little elements running around from your marriage. When you were a child element did you love the elements that raised you. Oh, by the way God is not an "element." He is God displayed in three persons. Get it Three persons not elements. May God bless you and all of the elements you love.
---Elder on 6/20/06
Shira, Let me answer that one for you:
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"... 14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..."
Father, Mother, Creation. Spiritual form, not male/not female.
Say what? The Bible speaks clearly enough about God to not be thrown into such confusion.
Creation is not God, nor is anyone's mother.
Helen, in my understanding of God, our Creator, there are the same 3 elements; however I see them as male/female, mother/father and creation is the result. It is a different perspective, free of patriarchal supremacy, based in equality and love. I just wanted to state what I believe and why; I'm not trying to gain the popular vote. :>))
Jack, please give me scripture as to where I can find God is a three-fold spiritual angel.
Grace - What you are proposing is maybe another god (notice lower case "g"), but definitely NOT the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit -- 3 persons in one God.
