Exodus 20:2,3 - Who Wrote This?

The claim is made that the Law given to Moses was that which the Lord JESUS CHRIST wrote with HIS own finger saying: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me." Exodus 20:2,3

Actually, there is no form of the Hebrew words for "Lord" in Exodus 20:2,3. Many translations falsely present the Holy Name as being "the LORD," but that is not correct.

See:
The Holy Name of God

Exodus 20:2-3 - I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.[3] You shall not have any other gods before Me. -- Green's Literal.

Evidently, the thought is that "Jehovah" who spoke through the prophet Moses is the Lord Jesus Christ. If so, this would mean the Lord Jesus Christ is He who spoke through the prophet Moses. and is thus the one person who is God in Hebrews 1:1, and that the Lord Jesus Christ now speaks through the son of the Lord Jesus Christ, as spoken of in Hebrews 1:2.

Actually, He who spoke through the prophet Moses is the same one person who is the "one God" in 1 Corinthians 8:6, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of that one person. Jehovah, the "one God" of 1 Corinthians 8:6 now speaks through Jehovah's Son, and Jehovah's Son is not Jehovah, but the Lord Jesus Christ, the one whom Jehovah has anointed and made "Lord". -- Isaiah 61:1; Acts 2:36.

Zechariah 3:2 - Does Jehovah Ask Jehovah to Rebuke Satan?

Zechariah 3:1-2 - And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.[2] And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? -- American Standard Version . Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. -- American Standard Version. Zechariah 3:2 is sometimes quoted as proof that Jesus is called "Jehovah" and therefore it is claimed that Jesus is a person of the trinitarian concept of three persons in God. Of course, there is nothing all here that presents any concept that the one Jehovah is more than one person, or that He is three persons, etc. Such concepts have to imagined, assumed, added to, and read into what is stated. As it reads in the translation above, it would appear that there are two different Jehovahs, one Jehovah who speaks of another Jehovah, ...

Psalm 110:5 - Did David Claim the Messiah is Jehovah?

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath. -- Psalm 110:5, World English . Some refer to Psalm 110:5 as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, or a person of Jehovah. The claim appears to be that since David's Lord is spoke of as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:1, that Jehovah is depicted as being at the right hand of Jehovah in Psalm 110:5 must be referring to the Messiah as the second person Jehovah, sitting at the right hand of the first person of Jehovah. Of course, one has to add a lot of assumptions to the what is said in Psalm 110:1,5 in order to "see" any idea of the alleged trinity at all. The Masoretic text does not have the Holy Name in this verse; it has what is often transliterated as "adonay/adonai." http://qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/psalms/110.html#5 The original Hebrew, however, does not actually have ADONAY anywhere. In the ancient Hebrew, there is no distinction between adonay and adony. They a...
