Jesus and His God

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life 1 John 1:2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us). 1 John 3:3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. – World English. That was from beginning, which we have heard, what we have seen to the eyes of us, which we viewed, and the hands of us felt, about the Logos of Life, and the life was manifested, and we have seen and we hearing witness and we are reported back to you the life everlasting which was with the Father and it was manifested to us, — which we have seen and we have heard, we are reporting back also to you, in order that you sharing, you may be having...

Did John teach that one who has God's Holy Spirit knows absolutely everything, and/or that the one who has been anointed has absolutely no need of a teacher? 1 John 2:20 -  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1 John 2:27 -  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. -- King James Version . 1 John 2:20 - You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know the truth. 1 John 2:27 - As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.   -- World English . 1 John 2:20 - But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know....

Galatians 3:20 - Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one. Some evidently see in this verse that God is being said to be the mediator, and that, since Jesus is the mediator, they evidently are reading into the scripture that Jesus is God. The context here shows that this is related to God's promise to Abraham for a seed. -- Galatians 3:14,18,19; Genesis 12:2,3; 22:18. Actually, "God" here is presented as being only one person, the same one person who is the "one God" in 1 Corinthians 8:6. "God" in Galatians 3:20 is the same one person who is the "only true God" in John 17:1,3. It is the same one person who is the "the Lord Jehovah" of Isaiah 61:1, ELOHIM of Isaiah 61:1 and Micah 5:4, who anointed and sent the Messiah.  God is one, and he bound only himself to the promises of that covenant, thus he is the only party bound in the covenant of promise that God concluded with Abraham and his seed. God gave the promise u...

Jeremiah 17:10 - I, Jehovah, search the heart, I try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. -- Green's Literal. Revelation 2:23 - I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. The above two scriptures have been placed together with the claim this proves that Jesus is Jehovah of Jeremiah 17:10. Is this true? Jehovah, the God and Father of Jesus, is the "one God" who is the source of all. (1 Corinthians 8:6) It is the God and Father of Jesus who has made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Ezekiel 34:23,24; Isaiah 61:1,2; Acts 2:36), and has exalted him to the highest position in the universe, far above the angels, next to the only Most High.-- Acts 2:33,36; 5:31; Philippians 2:9; Ephesians 1:3,17-23; 1 Corinthians 15:27; Hebrews 1:4,6; 1 Peter 3:22. It the "one God" of 1 Corinthia...

1 Peter 2:3 – If you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:4 – To whom we are approaching. He is a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God chosen, precious. 1 Peter 2:5 –  You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. — World English. Psalms 34:8 - Taste and see that Jehovah is good; blessed is the man seeking refuge in Him.  -- Green's Literal The above verses are often placed together in effort to prove that Jesus is Jehovah. Many assume that when Peter wrote “the Lord is gracious” that he was quoting Psalm 34:8, “Jehovah is good”, and that therefore by “the Lord” in 1 Peter 2:3, Peter meant Jehovah. The following verse applies “the Lord” to Jesus, and therefore Jesus is assumed to be Jehovah, and thus it would have to be further assumed that Jehovah is the stone that Jehovah chose, and that Jehovah is Jehovah that laid the ...

Does what is stated in Acts 20:28 give reason to imagine and assume that Jesus is God Almighty, or that God is more than one person? Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. – Acts 20:28, King James Version. Many of our trinitarian neighbors (and some others) would have us believe that this text means that the Almighty God himself died for the church. If so, then, the Almighty God himself died, which of course, scripturally is totally impossible. If God Almighty had flesh and blood, this would make him lower than the angels. — Psalm 8:5; Hebrews 2:7. We first want to point out that it was the only true God (John 17:1,3), the "one God" of 1 Corinthians 8:6, who prepared the body of flesh and blood for Jesus by means His Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18,20; Hebrews 10:5) Since Jesus, while in the days of his flesh (Hebrews 5:7), was...
