SIRTee15:

So then tell me what's the difference btw Lord and LORD in the English bible- old testament.

Janosky:

Most times,Lord or LORD is used to reference the Most High God.
Lord or lord to reference men or angels.
LORD has never been a reference to men, LORD is a substitute for YHWH God's holy name.

These points have been addressed

SIRTee15:


What word is used for Adonai in the English bible. And can that word be used for humans or anything else.

SIRTee15:


Jesus Christ isn't physically God, he's God in flesh.
Jesus is physically human with a human soul but his spirit is the divinity of God.
Unlike our spirit which is made in image of God , Jesus spirit is the divinity of God.

That's why Colossians said in Jesus lies the fullness of Godhead deity.

The human soul of Jesus acknowledged that he was given divinity and he honoured his Father who gave him the divinity.
Daniel 7.13 explain how someone like a son of man was brought before ancient of days and given divinity.


So if U understand above, all the questions U people and Muslims ask about humanity and limitations of Jesus will become clear.

Ask more questions and I will explain further using the scriptures.

Janosky:

God in the flesh wey no know Matthew 24:36.

Janosky:


Oga, tell this forum.

SIRTee15:

U Jehovah witness will never cease to amaze me. U will see the truth gidigba like this, yet deny it.
What is the English word for Adonai in the English bible.
Can the English word be used for anything else in the bible.
Can adonai be used for anyone else apart for God.

MaxInDHouse:

It's a title Israelites use for God but not the name of their God which means other nations can refer to their own God as their own Adonai but when talking about the name God of Israel has a particular name that all the nations knew back then just as their Gods also has names!

SIRTee15:

Adonai is an Hebrew word my friend, so why should non Israelites call their God by an Hebrew name?

Aemmyjah:


If I may ask
What then happened to God's name
He himself said to Moses that that is his name to time indefinite

Aemmyjah:
i

SIRTee15

If YHWH is God's name as shown in the OT
And the NT is an inspired addition or confirmation of the OT and Jesus and his apostles quoted and made references to serve scriptures from the OT, shouldn't it be surprising that the manuscripts we have today which are just copies and dated some centuries after Jesus ascension did not show the divine name anywhere
Some other translations of the Bible have put the divine places in some places of the new testament

SIRTee15:

Another explanation is that by the time of the 2nd temple, the Jews had forgotten their original language which Hebrew and now speak Aramaic as the native language. Thus very few could pronounce the name YHWH properly.

SIRTee15:


Do U believe Jesus has a divine nature? That's my question.
U said up there that Jesus has a divine nature and I want to confirm U actually said so.

Thomas couldn't have used God as exclamation mark- such phrase doesn't exist in those days n Jewish won't call God's name in vain.

"The Word of God is the Holy Spirit of God"


the Word made all things, nothing was made without Him, john 1:3 +

the Word made all things, the Holy Spirit made job:
Job_33:4 The Spirit of God has made me

the Word made all things, God sent the Holy Spirit to create:
Psalm 104:30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.

in the beginning there was God and the Word, john 1, in the beginning there was God and the Holy Spirit:
Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

^^ God made all things through the Word/the Holy Spirit

johnw47:

1Co_1:24  but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
^^ Christ the power/the Holy Spirit of God, is not referring to Jesus the man/flesh, but to His Holy Spirit/the Word of God

2Co_12:9  And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

^^ so that the Holy Spirit of Christ may dwell in me

Steep:
No he did say christ is the Holy Spirit, ratherIt is good to read according to context else one errs.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Paul was talking of the preaching of the sacrifice of Jesus as the atonement for sin.
When Paul said christ is the power of God he meant christ is the means through which God saves people.

Steep:
The Word of God is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost is a separate person from the Father and Son. He is the power of God in creation, he guides, empowers and teach the believers as well as lives in them permanently.

johnw47:

in the beginning there was two not three, but stick with your belief, i am not interisted in it.

MaxInDHouse:
So since you believe it's two in the beginning but he believes it's three who is the liar between you two?

johnw47:

i won't speak for other but as for me, i am either right on that matter or i'm mistaken on that matter

MaxInDHouse:
So you're not even sure of your stand.
Na wah o!

johnw47:

i am sure i am saved

Ken4Christ:
Muslim scholar wants a proof where Jesus said he is God. The exclamation of Thomas is one of such proof. When he saw Jesus after his resurrection, he exclaimed;

John 20:27-28
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

If Jesus is not God, he would have told Thomas, please don't call me God.

What other proof do you need to know who Jesus truly is?

Westerhoffe:



I have a write out on this, and may be posting it soon, and it's all the evidences from the Bible that proves JESUS CHRIST is GOD.

MaxInDHouse:
What about your brother who disagreed with you over two or three people in the beginning?
Is he also saved or he's doomed?

johnw47:

lost false jw mad max
most dum and confused one, has he blasphemed the Holy Spirit as you have:
1Co 14:33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

johnw47:

in the beginning there was two not three, but stick with your belief, i am not interisted in it.

Ohyoudidnt:


There's no divinity like God. Jesus is not co-divine with God.

God is the ultimate divine being, unmatched by any other. Jesus, however, is not considered to be on the same divine level as God.

The divinity of God is unparalleled by any other entity and nothing comes close. It is important to note that Jesus is not regarded as being equal in divinity to God.

MaxInDHouse:
This is your last response to him:
You simply told him to stick to his belief that you're not interested!

MaxInDHouse: Why can't you just do the same with JWs and our beliefs then move on with your life ?
Why are you always following JWs up and down Nairaland if it's just the same offense we committed?

SIRTee15:


You have not answered my question.
Is Jesus divine? Does he have a divine nature?
I'm not asking U if he's God, I'm asking if U believe Jesus has a divine nature.

johnw47:

i like to show up the lies etc. of those claiming to be God's people.
