YAHWEH THE ONE AND TRUE GOD.

Jesus Christ is not JAHWEH!

 

One good example is from Jeremiah 10:10, which in Hebrew uses the divine name. It says, "But Yahweh is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King." Here, Yahweh is explicitly named as the true God.

 

Also, in Psalm 7:17 in the Hebrew text, you will find, "I will give thanks to Yahweh according to His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High." This verse uses the name "Yahweh" and calls Him the Most High.

​

First, Deuteronomy 10:17 says, "For Yahweh your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome." In the Hebrew, the name "Yahweh" is used, and He is clearly presented as supreme above all.

​

Second, Psalm 47:2 in Hebrew uses the name "Yahweh" and says, "For Yahweh Most High is awesome, a great King over all the earth." Here He is called "Yahweh Elyon," meaning "Yahweh Most High."

​

Third, in Isaiah 37:16, the prophet prays, "O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth." This verse highlights Yahweh’s unique sovereignty and singular divinity.

​

YAHWEH

 

Yahweh Shaphat, meaning "The Lord is Judge." This emphasizes God as the ultimate judge, and you can find this theme in passages like Judges 11:27, where Yahweh is invoked as the judge to decide a dispute.

​

Yahweh Hoseenu, meaning "The Lord Our Maker." This appears in Psalm 95:6, where God is acknowledged as the Creator who made us.

Yahweh Nakeh, meaning "The Lord Who Smites." This is a less common but still notable attribute, found in Ezekiel 7:9, emphasizing God's role in delivering judgment.

​

Yahweh Tsuri, meaning "The Lord is My Rock." This is found in passages like Psalm 18:2, portraying God as a solid and reliable refuge.

​

Yahweh Shophetenu, meaning "The Lord Our Judge." While similar to Yahweh Shaphat, this form is found in Isaiah 33:22, reinforcing the idea of God as the ultimate judge and lawgiver.

​

Yahweh Sabaoth, meaning "The Lord of Hosts." This title appears frequently, for example in Isaiah 1:24, and it emphasizes God as the commander of heavenly armies.

​

Yahweh Shammah, meaning "The Lord Is There." This is found in Ezekiel 48:35, describing the presence of God in the future Jerusalem.

​

Yahweh Roi (or Yahweh Ra'ah), meaning "The Lord Is My Shepherd." This well-known attribute comes from Psalm 23:1, where God is portrayed as a caring shepherd.

​

Yahweh Mekoddishkem, meaning "The Lord Who Sanctifies You." This appears in Exodus 31:13, where God is described as the one who makes His people holy.

​

Yahweh Elohim, meaning "The Lord God." This combination is found in places like Genesis 2:4 and emphasizes God’s supreme divinity as the Creator.

​

Yahweh Yireh (sometimes spelled "Yahweh Jireh"), meaning "The Lord Will Provide." This comes from Genesis 22:14, where God provides a ram for Abraham.

​

Yahweh Rapha, meaning "The Lord Who Heals." This is found in Exodus 15:26, where God is described as the healer of His people.

​

Yahweh Nissi, meaning "The Lord Is My Banner." This comes from Exodus 17:15, where Moses builds an altar and calls it "Yahweh Nissi" after a victory in battle.

​

Yahweh Shalom, meaning "The Lord Is Peace." This appears in Judges 6:24, where Gideon names an altar Yahweh Shalom as a testament to God’s peace.

​

Yahweh Tsidkenu, meaning "The Lord Our Righteousness." This is found in Jeremiah 23:6, where the future Messiah is called "Yahweh Tsidkenu."

​

Jesus a Prophet and Messenger of God

 

John 17:1-5 New International Version

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

​

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

 

Matthew 26:39

New International Version

Quran 5.75

The Christ, son of Mary, was but an apostle, and many apostles had (come and) gone before him; and his mother was a woman of truth. They both ate the (same) food (as men). Behold, how We show men clear signs, and behold, how they wander astray!

 

Quran 19.31​

"I am a servant of God," Jeshua/Isa aka, Jesus answered. "He has given me a Book and made me a prophet, (30) And blessed me wherever I may be, and enjoined on me worship and zakat for as long as I live,

New International Version

New International Version

33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

​

I and the Father are one (not referring to divinity).

​

John 10:25-30. New International Version

 

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep (Jesus is sent to the lost sheep of Israel). 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

 

Context is important to understand the Bible CORRECT?

 

In conclusion that God’s revelation to Jesus, Jesus’s teaching to the lost sheep, especially the disciples who believe in God and the message of Jesus, are ONE in purpose and not in ONE IN PERSON. That makes

 

Hint: The verse did not say: I and the Father are One God.

9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.

Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[b] that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Chalcedonian Definition

​

Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body; of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one substance with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects, apart from sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages, but yet as regards his manhood begotten, for us men and for our salvation, of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the creed of the fathers has handed down to us.

​

Athanasian Creed

​

Whoever desires to be saved should above all hold to the catholic faith.

Anyone who does not keep it whole and unbroken will doubtless perish eternally.

Now this is the catholic faith:

​

    That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity,
  neither blending their persons
  nor dividing their essence.

       For the person of the Father is a distinct person,
       the person of the Son is another,
       and that of the Holy Spirit still another.
       But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one,
       their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.

​

    What quality the Father has, the Son has, and the Holy Spirit has.

       The Father is uncreated,
       the Son is uncreated,
       the Holy Spirit is uncreated.

        The Father is immeasurable,
       the Son is immeasurable,
       the Holy Spirit is immeasurable.

        The Father is eternal,
       the Son is eternal,
       the Holy Spirit is eternal.

​

            And yet there are not three eternal beings;
           there is but one eternal being.
           So too there are not three uncreated or immeasurable beings;
           there is but one uncreated and immeasurable being.

​

    Similarly, the Father is almighty,
       the Son is almighty,
       the Holy Spirit is almighty.
           Yet there are not three almighty beings;
           there is but one almighty being.

        Thus the Father is God,
       the Son is God,
       the Holy Spirit is God.
           Yet there are not three gods;
           there is but one God.

        Thus the Father is Lord,
       the Son is Lord,
       the Holy Spirit is Lord.
           Yet there are not three lords;
           there is but one Lord.

​

    Just as Christian truth compels us
  to confess each person individually
  as both God and Lord,
  so catholic religion forbids us
  to say that there are three gods or lords.

    The Father was neither made nor created nor begotten from anyone.
  The Son was neither made nor created;
  he was begotten from the Father alone.
  The Holy Spirit was neither made nor created nor begotten;
  he proceeds from the Father and the Son.

    Accordingly there is one Father, not three fathers;
  there is one Son, not three sons;
  there is one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.

    Nothing in this trinity is before or after,
  nothing is greater or smaller;
  in their entirety the three persons
  are coeternal and coequal with each other.

    So in everything, as was said earlier,
  we must worship their trinity in their unity
  and their unity in their trinity.

​

Anyone then who desires to be saved
should think thus about the trinity.

But it is necessary for eternal salvation
that one also believe in the incarnation
of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.

Now this is the true faith:

​

    That we believe and confess
  that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son,
  is both God and human, equally.

     He is God from the essence of the Father,
  begotten before time;
  and he is human from the essence of his mother,
  born in time;
  completely God, completely human,
  with a rational soul and human flesh;
  equal to the Father as regards divinity,
  less than the Father as regards humanity.

    Although he is God and human,
  yet Christ is not two, but one.
  He is one, however,
  not by his divinity being turned into flesh,
  but by God's taking humanity to himself.
  He is one,
  certainly not by the blending of his essence,
  but by the unity of his person.
  For just as one human is both rational soul and flesh,
  so too the one Christ is both God and human.

    He suffered for our salvation;
  he descended to hell;
  he arose from the dead;
  he ascended to heaven;
  he is seated at the Father's right hand;
  from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
  At his coming all people will arise bodily
  and give an accounting of their own deeds.

  Those who have done good will enter eternal life,
  and those who have done evil will enter eternal fire.

​

This is the catholic faith:
one cannot be saved without believing it firmly and faithfully.

​

​

The Nicene Creed

​

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."
