Is written in the OT and spoken in the New Testament by Jesus Yeshuua, "God is One."

I'm Pentecostal, so Jesus IS God. I might say Jesus, God, Lord, but I'm always talking to the same person.

It sure makes things simple. :cool:

For me, I call the Lord Yahweh-Elohim, in whom I see Father or Abba; Jesus or Yeshua; and Holy Spirit or Ruach Hakodesh.
I see Him as one and three, though it's difficult to get my brain wrapped around it.
He has many other names such as Adonai, El Shaddai, etc.
Abba-Hashem is a favorite of mine, as is Daddy. My Destination is another. Abba-Ben-Ruach is another, still. Father is definitely one of my favorites. Faithful is another. My All-In-All...how can I put a finite name on the Infinite One? My Creator...my Maker, my Master, my King, my Comforter, see what I mean?

El Shavaot...............Our Maker did say to Moses that He would be What He would be. Yes, all the mentioned are true titles.

We are taught in Zephaniah that on His Day He will return a pure tongue to all peoples so they may call Him by One Name, yet to be revealed. So, a Name will come, but until then He is titled in all good terms.
