Jesus and His God

  JESUS The Prophet Like Moses Deuteronomy 18:15-19  - Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;[16] according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.[17] And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken.[18] I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.[19] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Jesus evidently referred to this promise by his words recorded at John 5:46. Many of Jesus' words show that he was that prophet like Moses said that Jehovah would raise up.  Jesus is recorded ...

Hebrews 10:5 - Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me." -- World English.  These words and those following are a partial indirect quotation of Psalm 40:6-8. The writer of Hebrews added the words "but a body thou hast prepared for me." Evidently, this was the basis of the later "Christianized" version of the Septuagint.  It is being claimed, however, that " God prepares a body  to dwell in." In other words, it is being claimed that Jehovah prepares a body for Jehovah to dwell in, and Jehovah names Himself in this body, "Jesus."  However, it should be obvious that this is not what the scripture says. The author of Hebrews does not write that Jehovah was stating he was preparing a body for Himself to dwell in! While God dwells in Jesus as well as in Jesus' followers, this is not what is being discussed in Hebrews 10:5. See our study: God in Chris...

The claim is often made by trinitarians and oneness believers that there is one true God by nature, which is true. The trinitarians, however, add to that thought the only true God is three persons: (1) The Father, (2) the Son and (3) the Holy Spirit. They usually present scriptures that refer to all three with some form of the word for "GOD", and leave this as being proof that all three are the one God, the one Supreme Being. The Greek word in the New Testament for "God" is usually transliterated as THEOS (or QEOS). It is translated from forms of the Old Testament Hebrew word EL, which basically means “might, strength, power.” In the New Testament, forms of the Hebrew word EL are translated into Greek forms of the word THEOS. "God" in English, with a capital "G", most often means the Supreme Being. This, in effect, would correspond with the Biblical usages of forms of EL and THEOS as applied to Jehovah as being the Mighty One who is innately migh...

The claim is that holiness is ascribed to each of the three persons: the Father (Revelation 15:4), the Son (Acts 3:14), and the Holy Spirit (Romans 1:4), and thus this is proof that Jesus is Jehovah, and/or that Jesus, his Father, and God's Holy Spirit are three persons of the one Supreme Being. {Revelation 15:4} Who wouldn't fear you, Jehovah,    and glorify your name? For you only are fully right.    For all the nations will come and worship before you.    For your righteous acts have been revealed." -- RLIV The word rendered as "fully right" above is given the general transliteration as HOSIOS (Strong's G3741). Evidently, the contrast here is Jehovah with the many false gods which the nations have worshiped throughout the centuries of this the present evil age. (Galatians 1:4) In the age to come, all the nations, however, will come and worship before Jehovah, and Jehovah will be the only one proven to be fully right. Most translations render HOIOS as ...

\ Exodus 17:2 - Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?  - American Standard Version . Numbers 21:5-6 - And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.[6] And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. -- American Standard Version 1 Corinthians 10:9-10 - Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. [10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. -- King James Version. 1 Corinthians 10:9-10 - Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.[10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perishe...
