Ecclesiastes Through Malachi

Ecclesiastes Through Malachi

Below are scriptures from the above books related to the page: "Is Jesus God?" Links are provided for many scriptures that discuss the scriptures. Scriptures thought to mean that God's Holy Spirit is a person of God may also be included.

Isaiah 6:8
See the study: "Who Will God For Us?'

Isaiah 7:14
Isaiah certainly does not call the Messiah "God". He does say that the Messiah was to be called by the name "Immanuel", which means "God is with us".  (Isaiah 8:10) Isaiah did not say, as some claim, that the Messiah is "God with us". 

Isaiah 9:6
There is definitely nothing here that says that Jesus is God Almighty. We believe that it is not Jesus who is being referred as "EL," but rather that it is the God and Father of Jesus. Nevertheless, the Hebrew term (often transliterated as EL GIBBOR) used in Isaiah 9:6 -- often translated as "Mighty God" -- is applied to a human king (or kings) in Ezekiel 32:21. The KJV renders the plural form of EL GIBBOR in Ezekiel 32:21 as "The strong among the mighty." This expression could certainly be applied to Jesus in the same manner without meaning that Jesus is the Almighty Jehovah.

Definitely nothing in Isaiah 9:6 says that Jesus is Jehovah of Hosts of Isaiah 9:7, or that Jehovah is more than one person, or that Jesus is a person of Jehovah. There is definitely nothing in these scriptures that presents Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:14,15), as being more than one person.

Jeremiah 10:6,7

Jeremiah 23:5,6
Many evidently read into Jeremiah 23:5,6 the idea that the Messiah IS "Jehovah our rigtheousness," rather than recognizing that this is a name given to the Messiah. Having the name Jehovah-Tsidkenu (Jehovah is our righteousness) does not mean that the bearer of the name is Jehovah. When Abraham called the place where he sacrificed the ram "Jehovah-jireh", meaning "Jehovah will provide", was he saying that the place was Jehovah Himself? Does the name Daniel, meaning "Judgment of God", mean that Daniel was God? The Holy Name, Jehovah, is not applied the righteous branch, but the righteous branch of David bears the name that attributes the source of righteousness to Jehovah. This is in harmony with 1 Corinthians 8:6) The Father, Jehovah, is the source; Jesus is the instrument. Jehovah is continuously presented as distinct from the branch. Jehovah is the God of the Messiah, and the Messiah stands [including as being righteous] in the strength of his God.

In Jeremiah 33:16, the name is definitely not being applied to the Messiah, but rather to Jerusalem. Therefore, if one claims this name in Jeremiah 23:6 means that Jesus is Jehovah, if one is consistent, one should also claim that Jerusalem is Jehovah.

We find nothing in these verses where Jeremiah calls the Messiah "God". We do find that the Messiah is given the name, "Jehovah-Tsidkenu", which means, "Jehovah is our righteousness." The fact that the Messiah bears a name that contains the name of his God, Jehovah (Isaiah 61:1,2; Micah 5:4) does not mean that we need to imagine and assume that Jeremiah was saying that the Messiah is Jehovah.
