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...

Jehovah Comes to Judge Through His Son

By Ronald R. Day, Sr. God's Holy Name is presented throughout this study as "Jehovah", regardless of translation. Joel 3:11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Jehovah. Joel 3:12 “Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations. — World English Matthew 25:31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory. Matthew 25:32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  — World English Trinitarians, Oneness believers and some others may present these two scriptures together and offer them as proof of the trinity, or proof that Jesus is Jehovah. Of course, there is nothing in the verses about three persons in Jehovah, or about a triu...

Psalm 2:7 - Today I Have Become Your Father

Is the Trinity a Biblical Doctrine?

According to many trinitarians, "the trinity is a Biblical doctrine," and the trinity dogma is presented as allegedly stating what the Bible says. In reality, there is absolutely no concept of a trinity presented anywhere at all in the Bible. The idea has to be added to, and read into, each and every scripture that is presented to allegedly support the added-on dogma. Yes, the trinitarians present an array of scriptures, both from the Hebrew "Old Testament" Scriptures as well as the Christian "New Testament Scriptures to allegedly support their dogma. Upon close examination, however, one has to realize that in each and every scripture that is presented, what the trinitarian relies on is a presupposition that will see "trinity" when the scriptures are read. Closer examination of the scriptures reveal how the trinity has to be added to and read into each and every scripture presented. The truth is that the scriptures can be seen to be totally ...

Isaiah 40:3 – Malachi 3:1 – The Sent Messenger And His Message

By Ronald R. Day, Sr. -- This study needs to be updated. Isaiah 40:3 - The voice of him who cries in the wilderness: [speaking to the people of Israel] Prepare the way of Jehovah; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. -- Green's Literal. Malachi 3:1 - Behold, I am sending My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me [[or, more literally, my face, presence]]. And the Lord whom you are seeking shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of Hosts. -- Green's Literal. The two prophecies above speak of John the Baptist and his work. There are aspects of each that help us to understand the other. In Isaiah 40:3, the message that was to be given was a directive to the people of Israel, that they should prepare the way of Jehovah. In Malachi, it is stated that the messenger was to prepare the way before Jehovah's face. Many, in seeing the application of John the Baptist as being the for...

Revelation 3:14 - Is Jesus the Beginning, Ruler or Beginner of Creation?

Did Jesus Need To Be Uncreated To Pay For The Sin Of The World?

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" -- John 1:29. The claim is made that Jesus must not have been created, since, according to this reasoning, 'nothing created could pay the penalty of sin for everything was created and subject to corruption.' Many have stated this or something similar: "Jesus had to be God so that He could pay our debt." Thus the conclusion is that Jesus is the uncreated God. Many say this as though such was written in the Bible. Actually, such a thought is not in the Bible at all. In reality, this thought has to imagined and assumed totally beyond what is written in the Bible. — 1 Corinthians 4:6. On the other hand, if Jesus had to be the Most High in order to obey the Most High, then rather than condemning sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3), Jesus justified sin the flesh, for he would have proved that in order to obey the Most High, Adam would have needed to have been the Most High. Such, in effect, condemns...
