    Is Christ Jehovah God?

    Ever since I've known the watchtower, the Elers, Bethel, and the rest of the society, they never could answer that question. So one night I was reading the NWT and I ran into the answer. Is Christ Jehovah God? The answer comes right out of the New Worlds Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

    As I read it became clear....."Then Jehovah made it rain suphur and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens, upon Sodom and Gomorrah.."(Genesis 19:24-NWT)

    Jehovah from Jehovah? Now what's interesting is Jehovah gave His name to His son........

    "Also, I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on the account of your own name which you have given me, in order that they maybe one just as we are. When I was with them I use to watch over them on the account of your own name which you have given me....."(John 17:12,13-NWT)

    Jehovah did give Christ His name. Let's look closer........

    " Look! I am sending my messenger, and he must clear up away before Me, And suddenly there will come to His temple the [true} lord..."(Malachi 3:1....NWT) Funny....the hebrew is HA-A-DON which is meant for Jehovah's exclusive use only. Let's look.......

    In the NWT..revised 1970 edition, page 1455 the, "True Lord," which is ha-A-don, Jehovah, is exclusively use for Him alone.

    In the brown NWT Revised 1984, page 1568 under heading....1H..."The true Lord," the word ha-'A-dhohn...is meant for Jehovah God, yet it's used to the relationship of the messenger, which prophecy is the coming Christ. Read Mal 3:1.......

    So is Jehovah the incarnate Christ or did Jehovah give His Son His name Jehovah..And if Jehovah give Him the Name Jehovah...which would mean Jesus is Jehovah anyway.

    No matter how one looks at it the watchtower must know that the Christ is Jehovah God.....according to when I already wrote.

    And to clearly understand a Father and son relationship one should study up on customs and culture of that day.......

    Let's get serious RevF,

    Christ, the GOD created in the image of the mighty Mythra by Paul may also be considered be the bad tempered bully GOD of the Jews, Jehovah. However Jesus the man was just Jesus the man.

    If the Bible is authoritative, what does the Bible say that Jesus himself said in regard to whether he was God or not?

    g'day gaiagirl .. christians seem a bit thin on the ground so allow me to play biblenuts advocate ..

    The Lord was in denial, besides if Jesus admitted he created the universe and everything in it people would have been at him to fix the temple and make the desert blossum and find out what women want .. like the carpentry wasn't hard enough!

    Maybe Jehovah is just a surname, like Joshua BarYHWH

    As for Daddy - no-one is on first name terms with Him. We all call Him Pop, which is appropriate when ya think of the Big Bang .

    (Though some think it might be "El", that's more likely a comment on the " 'ell of a time we had last night!")

    RevFrank: You bemoan that you weren't given an answer to the question of whether Christ is Jehovah. You quote Gen 19:24, which tells of god INCINERATING the people of Sodom with FIRE and SULPHUR. Maybe a more pressing question might be: Is Christ just as psycopathic as Jehovah?

    A Guy can chill out quite a bit over the course of 1000 years, and with a few brewskis.

    Don't tell Him that England won the Ashes, again, though

    Littletoe: I hope you're not one of them liberal Christians, cos if you are the 'wicked Watchtower god' is gonna 'get' you good and proper. You might even cop a bit of a roasting from that nice chap Jesus, too.
