Jesus and His God

(This study still needs some editing) Hosea 1:7 - But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. -- American Standard Version . Many trinitarians (and some others) cite Hosea 1:7 and claim that there are two Jehovahs being spoken of here: one Jehovah who saves by means of another Jehovah. Of course, the idea that there are “two Jehovahs” runs contrary to what is stated in Deuteronomy 6:4. Most trinitarians claim that there is one Jehovah whom they claim to be three persons. Girolamo Zanchi states regarding Hosea 1:7 Jehovah says: “I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them in Jehovah their God,” that is, “I, Jehovah, will save them through Jehovah their God.” Since it is manifest that whomever the Father saves, he saves through Christ, what violence is done to the Prophet if we interpret these words such that Christ is that Jehovah through ...

(This study needs to be edited) Isaiah 40:3 - The voice of him who cries in the wilderness: Prepare [plural in the Hebrew - speaking to the people of Israel -- a form of the verb transliterated as “panah”, meaning “to turn” — Strong’s #6437] the way of Jehovah; make straight [make right - justified, not crooked] in the desert a highway for [or, to, before] our God. -- Green's Literal. Isaiah 40:3 (Young's Literal) A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God. Trinitarians (and some others) often cite Isaiah 40:3 along with various scriptures in the New Testament, and claim that such proves that Jesus is Jehovah, and/or that Jesus is one of three persons all of whom are alleged to be Jehovah. Isaiah 40:3 foretells of one [John the Baptizer] who was to come with a message to the people of Israel to prepare the way of/to Jehovah. The people of Israel were in a desert condition because of their sin, thus John ...

{Isaiah 48:16} “Come near to me and hear this: From the beginning, I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I.” Now, the Lord Jehovah has sent me, with his Spirit. {Isaiah 48:17} Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am Jehovah your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go." — RLIV The claim is made that this verse shows three persons in one Godhead. One even claims that this verse contains one of the clearest statements of the trinity doctrine in the Old Testament. In fact, however, we find nothing at all about the trinity doctrine in Isaiah 48:16. What the trinitarian actually presents as the trinity is the imaginative assumptions that the trinitarian places over the scripture. As usual with the trinitarian proof-texts, there is nothing in this verse about three persons in Jehovah. The trinitarian has to imagine the trinitarian dogma applies, formulate assumptions based on that imagination, and the...
