CONTRASTS
Now that weve defined "god," it becomes apparent that our original question is inadequate. It is now clear that we are asking more than whether Jesus is a "god." We want to know if Jesus is YAHWEH! We must determine whether Jesus and Yahweh are two beings, or only one being. That is the crux of the whole body of arguments surrounding this issue. The word "god" is not a proper name. Its a title. It is generic and can refer to ANY god. Therefore, in order to help keep this issue clear as we study it, well need to use the proper names whenever possible so well know which "god" we are talking about at that moment. The name of the Creator God of Israel is Yahweh. The name of our Savior is Jesus. So for the sake of clarity, we should use their proper names, rather than their titles, as much as possible. Now, lets consider some of the identifying characteristics of both Jesus and Yahweh. Are they the same, or different?

that *eonian life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ("eonian life" = the spiritual awakening given during this New Covenant age). In John 5:37, Jesus stood before his disciples and said: 37. And the Father himself, which has sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. I John 4: No man hath seen God at any time Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. No man has seen or heard the actual form or voice of the Father at any time. But, Jesus was both seen and heard. We are never directed to confess that Jesus is the Father. We are commanded to confess that Jesus is THE SON!

Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?

Can any lawful authority exist except under Yahweh? No! It is impossible! If Yahweh has vested Jesus with "all authority in heaven and earth," can there exist any viable authority but in and under Jesus? No! It is impossible! Some men say they get their authority from the State of Oregon, or from the Federal Government, or from the Constitution, or from the Soviet Politburo, or from the United Nations or some other source. But, if theyre not under Jesus, their "authority" is bogus. It is not true authority! It is counterfeit because no authority can exist unless it is aligned under Yahweh and his Son. The only way that authority can work is if a "power" delegates it. An authority must be ordained of God in order to be viable. If they arent ordained (authorized) of God, they are fake and we should not honor them. John 17: These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may also glorify thee: As thou has given him authority over all flesh, that he should give eonian life to as many as thou has given him. A nd this is eonian life: that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Here is t he Bible definition of "eonian life" usually translated "eternal life"). As thou (Father) hath sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them (the disciples) into the world. Yahweh sent (authorized) "Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ then sent (authorized) the disciples. This is the correct perspective on the order of authority: the order of rank. Next: Defining your Terms | Back to Is Jesus God Index | Home
