Is Jesus Christ the Jehovah of the Old Testament?

Question

Mormons say yes
Jehovah Witnesses say no

Or correct me if I'm wrong. What do the others think?

Answer 1

YES

In the beginning was the Word and the WORD WAS GOD.
At his birth was the Word made flesh.

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.


Jesus is the mighty God.
Jesus is the Father

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:


Jesus is Lord.

Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Lord is God.

Genesis 2:4
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Answer 3

Jesus is the temple/body of the fullness of God the Spirit; the Godhead is a two-fold being, and man was created in this image & likeness:

Gen 1:26, "God said, Let us make man in our IMAGE, after our LIKENESS". Why did God repeat himself, if his image was the same thing as his likeness? Because they are two different things, that's why. Image is # 6754 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, and means phantom or illusion; Likeness is # 1823, and means shape or model.

John 4:24, says that God is a Spirit, and this is the image that we were created in. Jesus is the body/temple, and this is the likeness inwhich we were created; a two-fold being; and inward/spiritual man and an outward/flesh body; 2nd Corinthians 4:16, "...but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is renewed day by day".

This is why Jesus said, while dying, My God why have you forsaken me; The Spirit of God had to leave Jesus' body, inorder for him to die.

Colossians 2:9, speaking of Jesus Christ,"For IN HIM dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily". This leaves no room for any other part of the Godhead to exist.

2 Corinthians 5:19, "To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself..".

Answer 4

Yes, Yeshua of the New Testament was the Yahweh of the "Old".

It is simple, really, one verse is all you need:

1 Corinthians10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:

and that Rock was Christ.(!!!)

Answer 5

Most Christians say Yes..in a way.
The doctrine of the Trinity is a little sketchy and is not fully understood nor understandable. Without trying to look like a poliothiest, there are three Persons of God, who are all equally and fully God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Son at times appeared as "the angel of Yahweh/ or Jehovah" in the Old Testaments times, appearing to many from Abraham to Gideon.
He later became incarnate, becoming 100% man while still 100% divine. He was named Jesus, meaning "Yahweh saves."
Living a perfectly righteous life, He sacrificed himself for humanities sins, taking away our sin. By God's grace, we can be saved from condemnation and live eternally in heaven, simply by believing with faith this rather far-fetched, yet truthful nad miracle filled story. Repent, believe, and be saved

Answer 6

Just for the record, you accurately understand the Mormon viewpoint. Mormons do believe that Christ is divine and that He is Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament.

Answer 7

Yes.
The Lord (not lord) Geneis-Malachi was the Lord Jesus Christ, also referred to as Jehovah or YHWH. (Despite the addition to God's word known in USA more commonmly at present as the Red Letter Edition).

Answer 8

God is the Father

Jesus is the Son

Holy Spirit is the Comforter

all believe the same principle in heart and in mind

Jesus was sitting on the right hand of his father in heaven when they created the earth. Then his father sent him to earth to live as human.

When Jesus came to Earth, all his teachings came from his Father. It's in the Bible. In John I posted it earlier. And he also said "When you see me, you see my father" What he means there is whatever you see him do, who see his father do.

Answer 9

mormons and jw need the most prayers!

ask a catholic priest to explain the Churches teaching on the Trinity. It is a mystery only God can give you understanding

There is only one True God. He has chosen to reveal Himself as Three in One.

Jesus was fully man and fully God.

Jesus is not the " Father" or the "Holy Spirit" He is the "Son".

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not names they are titles...(like offices)..yet Three Distinct Persons in ONE God. God(Trinity) revealed the "Father's" personal name to the prophets in the OT and we know the "Son's" personal name though not the Holy Spirit's (as far as im aware)

my opinion is that most believers in God only acknowlegde the "Father"...

i wud like to say more but i dont want to confuse you..

Praise God

Answer 10

Jehovah is the Greek translation of the Hebrew YHWH or Yahweh. The Trinity is like water. It comes in three forms, solid(Jesus), liquid(God the father) and gas(Holy Spirit). You don't need all three to make God. They are all wholly God. But also are all distinctly themselves. Water is still water no matter what form it's in. Jesus is just as much God as YHWH.
