Trini Homo Verifies Trinity Law and vice verse (6)-"JEHOVAH" Was the Name of the Son with the Father as One




It is the reason why the writers of the New Testament never use the name of "Jehovah". Instead, "the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ", "God the Father", "the Son of the Father", etc.

John the apostle says, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one"(1Jn 5:7). However, as to the indwelling Spirit he simply says, "He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son"(2Jn 1:9). The Holy Spirit omitted. It's because "the Holy Spirit" means the Son plus the Father as One. Hence He again says, "And hereby we know that He(the Lord Jesus) adideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us"(1Jn 3:24). 

John stresses the point by again saying "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"(Jh 1:1). He declares the Son as "the only begotten Son, Who is in the bosom of the Father"(Jn 1:18). "The Word" is the same with "the image of God"(2Co 4:4), because these words depict "expression". 'Image' means "substance or entity" embodied. The entity always expresses itself through its shape, or form, or image. God always works or manifests Himself through His Son His own Image. This is what "the Word" implies. The Son created the whole universe, but the Bible clearly says the Father created it through His Son. The Father works and speaks through His Son. God the Father saves us through His Son. He Himself suffered with His Son on the cross, because He was at that time too One with His Son. 

Just once this Oneness was broken when the Father "delivered"(Rm 8:32) the Son for our salvation as the Son became a man for us. They were united again as One when Jesus our Lord was baptized receiving the Holy Spirit, Which was the Spirit of the Father. 

Some People wrongfully say that the "Jehovah" of the Old Testament and "Jesus Christ" in the New Testament are too different. Well, it's because they are ignorant of God's PECULIARITY as mentioned before. God is "love"(1Jn 4:8) and at the same time "a consuming fire"(Heb 12:29). Whosoever now rejects the loving and graceful Lord Jesus should prepare at the last day to meet "the wrath of the Lamb"(Rv 6:16). 

Paul the apostle warns us that God's goodness is implied to those who continue in His goodness, otherwise His severity only(Rm 11:22). Almost everyone has a one-sided view on God's nature or character. They should learn anew from diligently reading the Bible. 

God the Creator has made and governed all things. From where has He been then, you ask? What is His origin? Where did God come from? God is the only beginning, the cause and the origin itself, you assert? What do you think of that? 

There IS Someone above God. That is God the Father Who begot the Creator. At this point there can't be anything to say. Perfection itself! God above God; nothing more, nothing less.
