Which Christian denominations teach that the Father and the Son are two different people, ...?

Question

... and that Jehovah is the same person as Jesus?

Answer 1

"Latter-day Saints" and other Mormon religions believe this.

The only observation that a non-Mormon might make regarding this question is simply to acknowledge that Mormons themselves claim to be nontrinitarian Christians; that is, they believe that Jesus the Son is a distinct person from God the Father. However, Mormons do not believe that the "God" of the so-called "New Testament" is the same "God" of the so-called "Old Testament"; Mormonism teaches that the pre-human Jesus is the "God" or "Jehovah" of the so-called "Old Testament".

This is obviously a fundamentally different theology than the other great nontrinitarian Christian religion, Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that there are several references to Jesus in the so-called "Old Testament" which indicate that he is distinct from the "God" or "Jehovah" of the so-called "Old Testament". It is not enough to simply assert that a doctrine is true, and so Jehovah's Witnesses reason from the Scriptures on the matter...


It seems rather obvious that the apostle Luke at Acts 4:25-27 quotes from Psalms 2:1,2. Although these passages are part of the Christian and Hebrew Scriptures respectively, BOTH passages make it plain that there is an "anointed one" who is distinct from God. The Psalm plains calls that God by the name "Jehovah" (explicitly using the Tetragrammaton) and Acts plainly calls the anointed one by the name "Jesus".

(Psalm 2:1,2) [David wrote] Why have the nations been in tumult and the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing? 2 The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have massed together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one

(Acts 4:24-27) [Peter, John, and fellow Christians] with one accord raised their voices to God and said: “Sovereign Lord, you are the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, 25 and who through holy spirit said by the mouth of our forefather David, your servant, ‘Why did nations become tumultuous and peoples meditate upon empty things? 26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers massed together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’ 27 Even so, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of nations and with peoples of Israel were in actuality gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus


Similarly, the apostle Paul at 1 Cor 2:16 and Rom 11:33,34 paraphrases Isaiah 40:13. Note that Isaiah explicitly uses the name "Jehovah" (the Hebrew Tetragrammaton), and 1 Corinthians plainly CONTRASTS the mind of Jehovah with the mind of Christ Jesus.

(1 Corinthians 2:16) For “who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, that he may instruct him?” But we do have the mind of Christ.

(Romans 11:33-34) O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are! 34 For “who has come to know Jehovah’s mind, or who has become his counselor?”

(Isaiah 40:13) Who has taken the proportions of the spirit of Jehovah, and who as his man of counsel can make him know anything?

Answer 2

Most Christian denominations do, God or Jehovah or Yahweh or YHWH is revealed as three distinct individuals The Father Son and Holy Spirit, though there is one God known to us throgh the divine trinity this an eternal mystery many have sought to understand and only made more confused in the attempt. But that is what the holy scriptures reveal That the Father is Jehovah, the Son is Jehovah, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jehovah. No, this does not mean that Jehovah acted as the Father one time then he was the Son then the Spirit. No, they all three exists from eternity.

Answer 3

No real Christian denomination teaches that Father & Son are 2 different ppl. God the Father and God the Son (Jesus) are the same.

Answer 4

It might be easier to ask which denominations teach they are not "separate and distinct" in some regards.

However, Jesus did not emphasize how he and the Father were different, but that they were the same; one in the other, and that, by seeing the Son, one also was seeing the Father.

BTW: Ever wonder where the word, "Jehovah" came from?

Answer 5

I think that most do.

But the real thing to note here is that 'persons' is an attempt like the 'Trinity' is an attempt to describe the nature of God. The Bible is full of quotes that lead to to this axiomatic conclusion.

Though our terms might be a bit off, the attempt is nonetheless well motivated. There must be something that we can say to determine that there are not three Gods, but three 'parts' that make up the 'One God'. I think that the Bible is very clear on that.

Answer 6

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

Answer 7

The " Religious Denominations" > That deny the deity Of Jesus is: Jehovah Witness, Mormons and Scientology......Jesus says if You Deny Me as Being God, I Do Not Know You, You do not know Me....." I And My Father ARE ONE"........"I Know My Sheep, They Hear My Voice"..............Thank you, Jesus.!
This applys to any Religion who Deny Jesus As God......
A Born-Again Christian Is Saved by The Shed Blood Of Jesus and KNOW THAT HE IS GOD! Also God the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. ( 3- IN ONE) (smile)
