When someone posts a quote, and then "Yes", that always means "Yes" to the quote.Yes what?
Of course I don't "ignore the rest", and of course I repeat the same verses, which are very clear statements. We all select verses we believe support our position.RD said:You are very selective in using only pet verses and ignoring the rest.
You have cut and pasted phrases from seperate Scriptures, that you KNOW are never quite stated in EXACTLY that combination in any text. This is a VERY transparent ploy.RD said:Please give us the scripture that says that 'Jehovah alone is "the ONLY true God"'.
By contrast, why don't you give us any Scripture that states, explains or preaches to an audience ANY tenet that is unique to the trinity or oneness! See how much more open this challenge is? And we both know there are no passages that meet this MUCH more broad scope.
Jehovah/YHVH has always, and will always be the ultimate King of Israel. However, Jehovah has anointed MANY men as the King of Israel, including Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN of the fruit of David's loins.RD said:
Isa 44:6 KJV Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
How about THAT "King of Israel"?
Jehovah is Israel's redeemer. Jehovah provided MANY redeemers throughout Israel's 1500 year kingdom, and lastly, Jehovah provided Jesus of Nazareth, whom Jehovah EXALTED to be Lord, Prince, Savior and Jehovah's Christ.RD said:Who is "His redeemer the LORD of hosts"?
Absolutely! The way Jehovah "fought in the day of battle" was VERY frequently a MAN, who was the appointed agent of (arm of ) Jehovah. That isn't the ONLY way Jehovah fought, He used earthquakes, and water, and insects, and fire from heaven, etc., to fight against His enemies. In Zech 14 Jehovah uses BOTH, He uses His appointed/anointed King, Jesus of Nazareth, (who is going to return to the Mt. of Olives, just like when he left), AND Jehovah uses plagues to defeat His enemies.JR said:
Zec 14:3-4 KJV Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
The LORD will stand of the Mount of Olives, just like He did when He LEFT from the Mount of Olives.
Act 1:8-12 KJV But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (10) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (11) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (12) Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
Remember, Jesus is the "prophet like unto Moses"!
Jehovah told Moses;
Ex 7:1 And Jehovah said unto Moses See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
