A Personal Reflection on the Trinity and Salvation

[AaronH]

You reject Jesus Christ as Jehovah God, color code that

All the disciples rejected Jesus as God, else they would not have things such as "who is this that the wind and waves obey him?" Jesus apparently hid the fact that he was God from the disciples (at least during his ministry) and yet you would make it central to Christianity. Strange.

Jesus isn't Jehova or YHWH according to YHWH.

Read it carefully. Come back when you repent.

Deuteronomy 18
18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. 19And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name. 20But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death.”

In Christian theology, Jesus is considered to be Jehovah (YHWH), the same God of the Old Testament, as supported by various biblical passages and the doctrine of the Trinity.

Understanding​

1. Biblical Basis: The Bible identifies Jesus as God in several passages. For instance, John 1:1 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This establishes Jesus (the Word) as divine and equates Him with God.
   
   
2. The Name Jehovah: The name "Jehovah" (or YHWH) is used in the Old Testament to refer to God. In Exodus 3:14, God reveals Himself to Moses as "I AM," which is translated as Jehovah. Christian doctrine asserts that Jesus embodies this divine identity, as He is referred to as the "First and the Last" in Revelation 1:17, a title also attributed to Jehovah in Isaiah 44:6.
   
   
3. The Doctrine of the Trinity: Traditional Christian belief holds that God exists as three persons in one essence: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. This means that while Jesus is distinct as the Son, He is fully God and shares the same divine nature as Jehovah.
   
   
4. Worship and Divinity: The New Testament records instances where Jesus is worshiped, which is significant because worship is due to God alone. For example, Thomas calls Jesus "My Lord and my God" in John 20:28, affirming His divine status.
   
   
5. Theological Implications: The identification of Jesus as Jehovah has profound implications for Christian faith, emphasizing that Jesus is not merely a prophet or a created being but the eternal God who became incarnate for humanity's salvation.
   
   

Conclusion​

In summary, Christian theology supports the view that Jesus is indeed Jehovah, based on scriptural evidence and the understanding of the Trinity. This belief is foundational to the Christian faith, affirming the divinity of Christ and His role in the salvation of humanity.

The Bible says Jesus is a man with a God who was anointed and empowered. Jesus' Lordship and Christhood are constructed offices he holds now. See Acts 2:36.

Acts 2
36Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

Jesus' Savior is God:

Hebrews 5
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

Jesus Christ is both God and Man.

All the disciples rejected Jesus as God

In your dreams

 

[Runningman]

Jesus Christ is both God and Man.

No he is not.

 

[brightfame52]

No he is not.

Yes He is

 

[Runningman]

Yes He is

Jesus denied being God or inferred he isn't God on multiple occasions.

Here's an example.

Mark 10
18“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

Here's another:

John 14
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

Your turn. Where did Jesus do something only God can do?

Not quite true

John 20:28–29 (LEB) — 28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Here's an example.

Mark 10
18“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

So you believe Jesus was not good?

Here's another:

John 14
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

Col 2:9–10 because in him all the fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you are filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority,

Your turn. Where did Jesus do something only God can do?

John 1:1–4In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being. In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Col 1:15–17who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, because all things in the heavens and on the earth were created by him, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through him and for him, and he himself is before all things, and in him all things are held together,
