Jesus is not GOD [2]

The first word the Hebrew fathers used in establishing a relationship, and coming into an awareness of the True God, "HE," was revealed by the tetragrammaton four-letter consonants Y-H-W-H, a word without vowel structure and unpronounceable. After adding the vowel structure, they came up with the word Yahweh, which translates God: Self-existing, Eternal One (Supreme Being). Later his name was revealed in the Book of Exodus as Jehovah. Research teaches that God has many titles or title-names, such as Almighty, El-Shadia, God Almighty, Elohim, and other title names. However, He only has one revealed name, that being Jehovah. Lord also is a title name used often in the New Testament in identification with Jesus. It always means Jehovah. Whether found in the Old Testament or in the New Testament, Lord, with the first letter capital, always is the reference to Deity (God). The question is not whether Jesus is God. The Bible is plain: He (Jesus) is Lord of all, and the Bible also is very plain, the Lord is the True God (Jeremiah 10:10) Let us further examine the word Lord. It comes from the Hebrew word Adonai, which in the Hebrew means Jehovah (Yahweh). It was inserted by the early fathers of Judaism in the place of the sacred name Yahweh, which was held in such high esteem that it could not be spoken; thus, the inserted word Lord was used in its place. In Acts 2:36, the apostle Peter in his sermon to the Jews gives further revelation concerning the Godhead mystery. Note vs. 36: "That same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ." Connect this Scripture with the apostle Paul"s teachings in 1 Tim. 3:16: "Without controversy, great is the mystery, God was manifest in the flesh." We see that Paul refers to the incarnation, God transcending himself as the Messiah. Note the apostle Johns revelation in the first chapter of his gospel, vs. 14: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." The Word, according to vs. 1: ". . . Was with God, and the Word was God." So, by connecting these four Scriptures, we see the clear revelation, that God became incarnate as the Son, and realizing that, the Scriptures also maintained that there is only one God; then we establish a solid foundation to a Bible fact-that Jesus is the only true and living God, and beside him there is none else. The mystery of the Godhead is complex, because man uses natural logic to equate that which can only be interpreted by spiritual revelation. Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 2:14: "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: For they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned." Trying to understand how Jesus was the Father, yet manifesting himself as the Son, will always remain as the Bible teaches, a great mystery, that comes only by divine revelation to the seeker of truth. All the Bible is about the Hebrew God, Jehovah, who came to the new covenant people as the Lord Jesus Christ. Note 1 John 5:20: "We know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life". If we keep the basic Bible foundation concerning the Godhead-that there is only one True God, again it is evidently clear, Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, who came as the Son to teach His chosen, the principles of the true faith-a Savior to all man kind who would believe. I think we should now examine why my opponent is against Jesus being God. My opponent's standpoint is from Islam. This is why he is against the bible, and states that verses versus are lies. Because Muslims say the Jews corrupted the text, though they have no evidence of this. I believe Satan made a counterfeit religion called Islam. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Christ bruised Satan's head at the cross, and the wound/ bruise was healed revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. I believe the wound was healed when Satan made a counterfeit religion called Islam, taking salvation away from 1 billion people. Of interesting note is there is evidence that the abomination of desolation is the dome of the rock, and that the false prophet spoke of in revelation, was none other than the prophet Muhammad. Not to mention the beheadings in Islam fit with revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus All one has to do is go into google and type Islam beheading to pull up page after page after page of Muslims beheading. In fact the Quran instructs beheading Quran 8:12 I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip." here is a link to a site that stands firm against the Islamic beast and a link to the dome of the rock being the abomination of desolation. http://www.beholdthebeast.com... Here is now a video on the Islamic badge of servitude http://www.youtube.com... This is the head band muslims wear in their forehead. http://bigfaithministries.com... In the greek the word for mark is charagma which has 4 meanings 1. etching 2. sculpture 3. badge of servitude 4. mark It's interesting that Muslims have a badge of servitude which is the head band they ware with the name of Allah on it, and one of the meanings for charagma is badge of servitude. For those that have not read the book "from Babylon to Timbuktu history of ancient black races" it states that Muhammad was a camel driver who wanted Jews to make him a prophet of Judaism, they refused, so he went to the Christians and they refused. Muhammad became angry and swore revenge against Judaism and Christianity https://archive.org... Next we have Muhammad claiming he was chocked in a cave by an angel of light that identified himself as the angel Gabriel. This angel then gave Muhammad a revelation and from there Muhammad started Islam. Interesting that the apostle paul warned us about this before it ever happened Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. What's also interesting is what the bible calls antichrist. Islam likes to insert "The" in front of antichrist to describe a made up factitious one eyed boogie man called the dajjal. Yet the bible doesn't speak of a man antichrist it speaks of many antichrist 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Many antichrists. But who are these antichrist ? 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Does Islam denieth that Jesus is the son Yes ! They say Isa the name they use for Jesus is a mere prophet. Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! Next they deny the cucifixtion Quran 4:157 And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. So as we can see Islam has an agenda, and it fits the biblical antichrist religion of the last days. We know that Islam denies the majority of doctrine in the bible my opponent being a Muslim denies Jesus is god, deneis he is the the son of god, denies the crucifiction, thinks the Jews perverted the bible. And Muslims believe Muhammad is the comforter of John 14:26. But what does the bible say ? We've heard plenty from Muhammad book of middle eastern fairy tales called the Quran today. Now let us read some truth from the real God's book. In Zechariah 12:10 the LORD God is speaking and says that, "they will look on Me whom they have pierced."[4] This is obviously Jesus speaking (Psalm 22:16; John 19:34). This passage from Zechariah appears again in Revelation 1:7b and is clearly about Jesus Christ. In Joel 2:32 it says that whoever calls upon the Name of the LORD will be saved. This verse is quoted by Peter in Acts 2:21, and by Paul in Romans 10:13. Both apostles are clearly referring to Jesus as the LORD. Isaiah 40:3 speaks about preparing the way for the LORD. When we compare this verse with Mark 1:3 we readily see that Jesus is the LORD who had the way prepared for him by John the Baptist. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:24 Of course all my opponent can come up with is that the bible lied, the same old Jews changed the text argument !
