GINOLJC, to all.That is certainly an interesting take on the matter. I’ve not heard this before in this form.
But as I asked, if Jesus is YHWH and also YHWH’s word…? How does that work?
I mean, ‘YHWH was with God’??
To make sense of that statement the word ‘God’ cannot be a deity (personality / person). It has to be a description of something …:
First thanks for the reply, Second, God is a "ECHAD" of himself. supportive scripture. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
the term God here is in the Hebrew is a plurality, or the "ECHAD" of God in CREATION as the Ordinal First and Ordinal LAST. LISTEN to the definition of God.
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
3. (specifically, in the plural, especially with the article) the Supreme God (i.e. the all supreme).
4. (sometimes) supreme, used as a superlative.
5. (occasionally, by way of deference) supreme magistrates, the highest magistrates of the land.
6. (also) the supreme angels (entities of unspecified type).
[plural of H433]
KJV: angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Root(s): H433
NOTICE, H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') here is the plural of H433
so, what or who is H433?
H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) n-m.
אֱלֹהַּ 'eloahh (el-o'-ah) [shortened (rarely)]
1. one with supreme strength and ability.
2. the Supreme Being, God the Creator, Yahweh by name.
3. a supreme entity, a god-like creature (that is, one of God's supreme creations, or one of man's inventions).
[probably prolonged (emphat.) from H410]
KJV: God, god.
Root(s): H410
so, H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') is the plural of H433. notice "of", and not "From" H433, which is very important. because if the definition would have said, "FROM" H433, then there would be two separate H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah). but the definition clearly states "of" H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah), indicating that it;s the same one "PERSON", or the ECHAD, or as Phil. 2:6 states, "THE EQUAL SHARE" WITH, WITH, WITH, God which the bible support throughout.
now follow me. H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') clearly states that God (THE ONE PERSON), H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) is a plurality of, of, of, himself, and not a plurality FROM himself. that's very important. because this plurality of himself describes the H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') perfectly as the "FIRST" and the "LAST" a NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE, as the Bible clearly states. and this plurality of himself or ECHAD is EXPRESSED in Ordinal Designations of FIRST and LAST. supportive scripture. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
here, thew Hebrew term "ONE" is,
H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
many scholars, (not all), jump at definition #1 and some calls it a "Compound unity" in order to comprise with the trinity believing system. which is an ERROR, the Lord Jesus, God almighty, nor any of his apostles, or disciples comprise with that way of thinking, but UNDERSTOOD that God is an ECHAD of himself as definition #2 clearly states, 2. (as an ordinal) first. and also as the term "Beginning" in Genesis 1:1. saya the same thing, which is
H7225 רֵאשִׁית re'shiyth (ray-sheeth') n-f.
1. the first, in place, time, order or rank.
2. (specifically) a firstfruit.
[from the same as H7218]
KJV: beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
Root(s): H7218
God is FIRST in Both this old creation, and the new creation to come, supportive scripture. Colossians 1:15 "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: "Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" Colossians 1:17 "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." Colossians 1:18 "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
this word preeminence means,
G4409 πρωτεύω proteuo (prō-tev'-ō) v.
to be first (in rank or influence).
[from G4413]
KJV: have the preeminence
Root(s): G4413
to be first there it is again in the NEW CREATION. God is the "FIRST" born or the FIRSTFRUIT from the DEAD, as Genesis 1:1 states "FIRSTFRUIT" of CREATION
this is Just to easy not to be understood. this is why the RANK of JESUS in the OT is "LORD", and in the NT of the ECHAD, "Lord".
when one understands the basic concept of the ECHAD of God as Ordinal First and Last, the bible will open up unto you.
if need be re-read this post, and if any question, ask.
