Jesus and His God

I am Jehovah; that is My name; and I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to engraved images. -- Isaiah 42:8 - Green's Literal . For My sake, for My sake, I will act; for how is it defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.  -- Isaiah 48:11, Green's Literal . Many often point to these scriptures as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, with the claim that Jesus has the glory of Jehovah, therefore he is Jehovah. But is such reasoning correct? The scriptures show that in giving a glorious position to Jesus that Jehovah does not abdicate his glorious position for anyone, not even Jesus, nor does Jesus or anyone else share in the glory of the unique position of Most High over the universe. (1 Corinthians 15:27) In contrast, Jesus invites the saints to share his glory in joint-heirship. (See Romans 6:3-6; 8:17, 18; Col. 3:4; 1 John 3:2) Rather than finding the position of glory that Jehovah gives to Jesus as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, it rather proves that J...

A claim was made that the Bible speaks of one true God and false Gods, but that it is absurd to say that there is a big true God and a less true God. According to this reasoning, Jesus is either the only one true God or no God at all. The one who claimed this further asserted that since the words for "God" are applied to Jesus, this must mean that Jesus is the only true God. In other words, it is claimed that Jesus is either the one true God or else he is a false god. What this does is set up a false dichotomy while ignoring the Hebraic usage of the words for deity; it would refuse to acknowledge that the words for deity could be ascribed to anyone to whom the only true Might of the Universe might give special power or authority. Such a dichotomy would mean that all of the angels are false gods (Psalm 8:5; Hebrews 2:7), and the sons of the Most High are false gods (Psalm 82:1,6), and that Jehovah made Moses a false god to Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1), etc. Forms of the Greek w...

By Ronald R. Day, Sr. One of the alleged direct proofs that is often offered for belief in the trinity and "oneness" doctrines is the unity of the Father and Son in John 10:30, where John records Jesus as saying: "I and my father are one." We suppose that if one is firmly convinced of the trinity, one could read "trinity" into John 10:30 (as well as many other scriptures) through presupposition. Of itself, there is nothing in John 10:30 that hints at three persons in one God, or that Jesus and his Father are one God. As worded, if Jesus is one with his Father, he is one with what? One God? One essence? One substance? One being? If, in saying that he is one with his Father, Jesus is saying that he is Jehovah, then, since Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is his God and Father, this would logically make Jesus his own Father. Of course, we realize that trinitarians do not believe that Jesus is the Father, although our neighbors who believe in the...
