    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    I see the slaying of the firstborn as justice for what Pharoah did. You know he ordered to have all the Hebrew boys killed as soon as born. And though God slew the firstborn whose parents would not believe to take shelter in a house with the blood of the lamb across the entrance, that does...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Did I say we were limited not to understand His words in many ways. That seems the opposite of what I did say about "the unsearchable riches of Christ as the Gospel". There is the logos and the instant speaking of the rhema. That is God speaking expressly to someone in a detailed and...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Continued - Song of Songs is poetry. Proverbs are wise sayings rather than history. Ecclesiastes are also wise sayings of a philosohical flavor. Psalms are songs many of which are for encouragement rather than historical. These books are part of this collection, this "library" ...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Well the riches of Christ are "unsearchable". (Eph. 3:8) So I don't think I "got it all". But I do feel I am on the right track. It will take eternity and we still will not have gotten it all - reality, truth, and the vast dimensions of this Christ. Me too. One example is Jesus saying...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    If I do not believe there was a FIRST man that really presents some problems to the Bible. I intitally came to the Bible through the New Testament gospels. I had a big modernist filter to sift out all that I considered mythological. Gradually I notyiced that Jesus Christ took the Old...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    If I adapted this kind of understanding I would be agreeing with the serpent. The serpent slandered God's motives and God's heart. The serpent assured Eve that God was evilly withholding blessing from her out of envious motives. Now the serpent was more crafty than any other animal of the...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Here I do believe in the OT the Bible teaches God was a Father to His elect Hebrew believers. For You are our Father, / Since Abraham does not know us, / And Israel does not acknowledge us. / You, Jehovah, are our Father; / Our Redeemer from eternity is Your name. (Isaiah 63:16) But now...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Yes, the potential to develop a world without God had to be tried. In fact man is still experimenting with a Godless world.

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    Quite the contrary. Adam chose and must suffer the consequences of his choice. The long period before his actual physical death gave him time to reconcile to God in repentance. It also gave time for other human beings to be produced who could have God's salvation. For instance Abel returned in...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    According to Zechariah 2:8-11 God [Jehovah of hosts] is both the sent one and the sender at the same time. You'll see that the one SENT and the SENDER of the one SENT are interchangeable. This is an OT window into the three-one nature of God. For thus says Jehovah of hosts, After the glory He...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    The process of death began to operate from the center of their being gradually working its dearful final result outward. Since then everyone born begins immediately to die in like manner. Emptiness, vanity, darkness of conscience, aging, and eventual decreptitude of the body all were "calling...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    In the Old Testament YHWH is "Father" in the sense of the Creator. His question to Adam "Where are you?" was for Adam to realize his new degraded state - hiding from fellowship with God. His question was not because He did not know where Adam was. The question was designed for Adam and Eve...
