Jesus is Jehovah!

[PATrobas]

Reminders Definitions: Deity

            The word ‘Deity’ is not found in the Bible, but its meaning is Biblical, ‘the nature and manifestation of God.’ So, when we examine the essence of Jesus, we will uncover a multitude of both Old and New Testament verses which confirm that Jesus is the human manifestation of Jehovah God. ^{John 14:8-9} It is important for Christians to understand and believe this truth. One of the distinctives of a cult is their denial of the deity of Jesus. The Jehovah Witness Watchtower Society teaches that He was created by God as Michael the Archangel and is the spirit brother of Lucifer. The LDS/Mormon organization teaches that Jesus is not equal to God, but rather is a lesser god and was created by a sexual union between Jehovah and His heavenly wife. These two cult teachings are religious fabrications and have no basis in the Holy Bible. The Bible overwhelmingly affirms that Jesus is Jehovah God manifest in the flesh, and all Christians place their faith in this mysterious truth. ^{1 Timothy 3:16}

Why is it important to know and believe that Jesus is God? Jesus’ own words in John 7:38 give us a clue, “He who believes in Me as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” He is saying that the evidences of salvation will flow from the hearts of those who believe what the Scriptures say about Jesus. Many people believe in a Jesus, but they do not believe in the Jesus as presented by the Scriptures. Jesus is often referred to as “the Lord Jesus.” The term ‘Lord’ meaning supreme being or creator God. Thus, we are told multiple times in Scripture that to be saved you must “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” and “to confess Jesus as Lord.” ^{Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9} But this fact must be received by the revealed truth of the Holy Spirit by faith. ^{1 Corinthians 12:3} Many Jews of Jesus’ day accused Him of blasphemy because He said things like this to them, “I and my Father are one.” ^{John 10:30} and “Before Abraham was, I AM.” ^{John 8:58} He did not say, ‘Before Abraham was, I was.’ He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” They fully understood that Jesus was declaring Himself to be the Eternal God, just as He called Himself “I AM that I AM” when speaking to Moses at the burning bush. ^{Exodus 3:1-15} There was never a time when the Word had a beginning or did not exist as God. “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” ^{John 1:1, :14} We must believe in Him as the Scripture presents Him, not as just some sort of spirit being, neither as just being a holy man.

            Final Thoughts: Believing that Jesus is Almighty God is essential to being a Christian. But it is a belief that sometimes challenges human comprehension. A key verse and foundation of the Old Testament is one that Jesus quoted from Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD.” ^{Mark 12:29} We know and believe that there is only one God, not three. But our singular God, is manifested in three forms and roles as declared in 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” ^{1 John 5:7-12} Scripture teaches that Jesus is Almighty God and to deny it is to make God a liar. But we are not expected to fully understand it, only to believe it. For further study, I have compiled a partial list of verses throughout the Bible that affirm that Jesus is indeed Jehovah God.

I agree he is/was/will be Yahweh, but he's not the Father.

[missmuffet]

God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three persons one God.

[Vine Abider]

"God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself."  2 Cor 5:19

"The church of God, which He purchased with His own blood."  Acts 20:28

"He who has seen Me has seen the Father." John 14:8

(and for fun, read Romans 8:9-11 and determine Who of the Godhead lives in us)

[other one]

We don't have the same understanding of the words translated God as did the people in the days of Moses, and when Jesus walked this earth.

[glff]

Is 9: 6-7:

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

1 Tim 1: 17:

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Jn 1: 1-3 and vs 14:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

[Markie51]

This explanation is not supported scripturally.  By reading the Gospels carefully, you will be reacquainted with many, many statements made by Christ that is contrary to him being Jehovah God.  For a start, examine Colossians 1:15 and Philippians 2:6.

Philippians 2:6-11 KJV

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

[11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

( Please compare with):

Isaiah 45:22-24 KJV

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

[23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

[24] Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

I hope your doctrine isn't wrapped up in a few explainable verses.
