how often does god speak in the new testament...?

Question

i'm not talking about jesus. i'm talking about god, the father. are there any verses where he speaks directly to anyone as he did in the old testament, which he did quite often?

Answer 1

many times...theyre all the same Being!!

Answer 2

The Father speaks directly at the Baptism of Jesus and at the transfiguration. But God also spoke every time Jesus spoke in the Gospels. God also spoke indirectly, through the angel Gabriel, Simeon, and the writings of the Apostles Paul, Peter, John and James.

Answer 3

Depends on how you look at it. Jesus IS God...perhaps the times in the old testament when it talks about God appearing physically to people and talking to him he was appearing as Jesus...his human "persona". Other times, he spoke to the heart of people through his spirit....and other times, he spoke from the sky or a burning bush.

The same pattern continues during the new testament...of course, because most of it covers the time he spent on earth in human form, most of the words are from Jesus. However, there are examples of him speaking using the other methods even in the new testament. For example, when John baptized Jesus, the sky opened and the crowd heard a voice that said "this is my son whom I love; with him I am well pleased". God's voice in this form is also heard in Acts and in Revelation. ...and the holy spirit speaks to various people throughout the new testament.

Answer 4

He speaks from Heaven at the baptism of Jesus and He speaks at the Transfiguration.

Answer 5

Jesus is God

Answer 6

If I recall correctly, "God" didn't do a whole lot of talking. His son Jesus did, which is the same thing.

Answer 7

Jesus is God speaking in the OT ~ Betcha didn't know dat, didja...so God spoke throughout the Bible and as He is the Word..it would make alot of sense now doesn't it? Check out these verses....

Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again (Num. 11:25).
Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? (Dt. 4:33)

And you said: Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives. Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God anymore, then we shall die. For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? (Dt. 5:24-26)

According to all you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die (Dt. 18:16).

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved” (Gen. 32:30).
Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank (Ex. 24:9).

And Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God!” (Judges 13:22).

So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice (1 Kings 11:9).

So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts” (Isa. 6:5).

I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses? (Num. 12:8).

Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.' "

Jesus revealed his identity, as he stated that he himself spoke to Moses at John 8:58:

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I Am!"

They [the Israelites] were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. (1 Cor 10:2-4)


I could copy and paste myself blind here with alot more scripture but its all there in the Good Book..take a gander and ponder...you are holding God...because Jesus is Jehovah and in the beginning, our beginning, He was with God and He was God. Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 8

Jesus is God, so your question is moot. Christ’s divinity is shown over and over again in the New Testament. For example, in John 5:18 we are told that Jesus’ opponents sought to kill him because he "called God his Father, making himself equal with God."

In John 8:58, when quizzed about how he has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am"—invoking and applying to himself the personal name of God—"I Am" (Ex. 3:14). His audience understood exactly what he was claiming about himself. "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple" (John 8:59).

In John 20:28, Thomas falls at Jesus’ feet, exclaiming, "My Lord and my God!" (Greek: Ho Kurios mou kai ho Theos mou—literally, "The Lord of me and the God of me!")

In Philippians 2:6, Paul tells us that Christ Jesus "[w]ho, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped" (New International Version). So Jesus chose to be born in humble, human form though he could have simply remained in equal glory with the Father for he was "in very nature God."

Also significant are passages that apply the title "the First and the Last" to Jesus. This is one of the Old Testament titles of Yahweh: "Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of armies: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no god’" (Is. 44:6; cf. 41:4, 48:12).

This title is directly applied to Jesus three times in the book of Revelation: "When I saw him [Christ], I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the First and the Last’" (Rev. 1:17). "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life’" (Rev. 2:8). "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end" (Rev. 22:12–13).

This last quote is especially significant since it applies to Jesus the parallel title "the Alpha and the Omega," which Revelation earlier applied to the Lord God: "‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Rev. 1:8).

Be STILL and Know I AM God!
