More Scriptural evidence for those of you who struggle, trying to rationalize away what it says and means: YHWH, God, the Holy Spirit and Father of Y'Shua, Jesus made the statement in a number of places in the OT, that He was the only God, and that there were no others, as recorded in the following:
Deut.4:35; 32:39; Isa.44:6 and in Isa.45:5., and many others that say the same. Your claim Jesus is co-eternal and co-equal to YHWH breaks the Scriptures refuting it. There are a number ot theophanies of the pre-incarnate Jesus in the OT. Such as in Gen. 18 and 32; Ex.33:22; Jos.5:13-15; Dan.3:24-25 and 12:7. See also Jn.14:28 and 17:3
Identifying the Biblical term Father as His title. Like all men are when they produce children:
A revelation of how easy it is for the Scriptures to identify God as being the Holy Spirit and Father of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible, documented below.
1. 2 Sam.7:14: "I will be his Father and he will be my son"
2. 1 Chr.17:13: "I will be his Father and he will be my son..."
3. Ps.2:7: "He said to me, 'You are my Son; today I have become your Father."
4. Acts 13:33: "You are my Son; today I have become your Father."
1. it is necessary to properly identify God, whom both Jesus, Paul and John have done, in Jn.1:18, 4:24; Rom.1:20; 2 Cor.3:17-18, Col.1:15 and 1 Jn.4:12, when they identify Him as Spirit.
2. God, who is the Spirit, makes it clear that He is also Holy, in Lev.11:44-45; Lev.19:2; Ps.99:3; Ps.99:5; 1 Pet.1:15-16 and in Rev.4:8. Therefore there is no option to the fact that God is the HOLY SPIRIT and FATHER as recorded in Mt.1:20 and Lk.1:35. Which refutes the doctrine of the Trinity, together with exposing Mt.28:19 as an alteration and 1 Jn.5:7 as an additive.
"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I." Jn.14:28 NIV.
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Jn.17:3 NIV.
.According to the Scriptures you reject, Jesus was the FIRSTBORN over all creation, according to Col.1:15, confirming Pr.8:33-36, the pre-incarnate Jesus, the personification of wisdom, as recorded in The following: That Jesus is the Wisdom [Power and knowledge] of God is made abundantly clear in 1 Cor.1:24 and Col.2:2-3.
Definition of FIRSTBORN from the dictionary:
1. first in the order of birth; eldest.
2. a firstborn child.
3. a first result or product.
Jesus did not become the Son of God/God the Son until documented in Mt.1:20 and in Lk,1:35.
KJV TRANSLATION OF PR.8:22-25:
Pr.8:22-25 (KJV): "The Lord
POSSESSED me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Or ever the earth was. 24 When
there were no depths, I was brought forth; When
there were no fountains abounding with water." 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth:"
Pr.8:22-25 (NIV): "
22“The Lord
BROUGHT ME FORTH as the first of his works,
c before his deeds of old; I
23I was formed long ages ago,at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25before the mountains were settled in place,before the hills,
I WAS GIVEN BIRTH,"
OTHER PLACES WHERE WHERE THE HEBREW WORD POSSESS IS USED:
Gen.14:19: "And he blessed him, and said, Blessed
are you Abram of the most high God,
POSSESSOR of heaven and earth:" And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the
POSSESSOR of heaven and earth," KJV. 22: "And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth," KJV
SAME TWO VERSES IN THE NIV:
"and he blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
CREATOR of heaven and earth."
"Abram said to the king of Sodom, With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High,
CREATOR of heaven and earth"
Annotation in the Scofield 1967 edition of the KJV in reference to Pr.8:22:
"That wisdom is more than the personification of an attribute of God
, or of the will of God as best for man, but is a distinct foreshadowing of , is certain." Page 677. Fully endorsed by the following Trinitatians, who don't argue with the Scriptural facts:
