Are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses because it sure seems like it. Machine gunning people with these questions isn't going to help them and they may find it disrespectful on their Holiday. Also the question doesn't seem to fit the category but that's just my opinion. If this is your way of trying to teach people something - try not to shove it in their faces. Nobody likes that. And NO, I believe that Jesus and Jehovah are seperate entities.
-
No, I do not. I don't believe Jesus was anything other than a very astute, wise, and compassionate man. I don't believe in Jehovah.

Yes, I do believe Jesus is Jehovah (my creator) .. I do support the belief of the trinity. Yes, I do know that the word trinity (man made word) is not in the Bible but I do believe that Jesus and God are one. I believe the Word of God teaches this. My belief.. not up for debate as I would not ask anyone to feel like they have to debate their beliefs. You asked, I answered. My beliefs, you do not have to share them.

I don't know what Jehovah you are talking about. But I know that Jesus Christ is the God we serve. He is Jehovah Jirah, my provider. El-Shaddai, Emmanuel-God with us. Addonai. He is Jehovah Nissi. He is ONE God, and thee only God. He is the Great I Am, and more.

I do not believe that Jesus is Jehovah. For example Re 1:1 clearly speaks of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ as 2 sperate beings,Col 1:15 reads "HE is the image of God, the firstborn of all creation;" Also Joh 14:28 speaks of his Father being greater than him and in Joh 17:1-26 Jesus is speaking to God in the heavens in this entire chapter!

No.If jesus is jehovah's son, then how can you be your own father.Besides,Jesus wouldn't be saying that he was teaching his own fathers law if he was a kind generous person

Yes, I believe that Jesus is JEHOVAH. I read the Scripture reference that you gave too. The Bible is clear that Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh(see John chapter 1), and there is no other God but JEHOVAH God. (see Isaiah 44:6) So, Jesus could not have been a seperate god if the God of Israel is the only God, thus, He is God. He said that He and His Father are one. He was worshipped in various places in the Bible and I don't recall Him ever correcting anyone for worshipping Him. In John Ch. 20, verse 28, Do you know what Thomas said to Jesus after he had saw Him risen from the dead? He said, "My Lord and my God." Notice that Jesus did not correct or rebuke Him for calling Him his God. 1 John 5:7 in the King James Bible is clear that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one. Isaiah 9:6 calls Jesus "the Mighty God" and "The everlasting Father". (Notice in the Bible that the word in this verse "Father" has a capital letter 'f', like God the Father.) I hope this helps you understand the Biblical truth that Jesus is God if you are one that does not believe it. Thank you and God bless you!

Actually God has many names... Jehovah is one BUT... The Jehovahs witnesses use the idea that YHWH is more powerful than Christ... After all in the JW teaching Jesus is the angel Michael... Biblical Christianity differs in the respect that we Consider God 3 spirits and yet one creative God... Mormons & JW's dont do that...

THE Bible calls Jesus the "only-begotten Son" of God. (John 1:14; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9) Trinitarians say that since God is eternal, so the Son of God is eternal. But how can a person be a son and at the same time be as old as his father? Trinitarians claim that in the case of Jesus, "only-begotten" is not the same as the dictionary definition of "begetting," which is "to procreate as the father." (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary) They say that in Jesus' case it means "the sense of unoriginated relationship," a sort of only son relationship without the begetting. (Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words) Does that sound logical to you? Can a man father a son without begetting him? Jesus said that he had a prehuman existence, having been created by God as the beginning of God's invisible creations Furthermore, why does the Bible use the very same Greek word for "only-begotten" (as Vine admits without any explanation) to describe the relationship of Isaac to Abraham? Hebrews 11:17 speaks of Isaac as Abraham's "only-begotten son." There can be no question that in Isaac's case, he was only-begotten in the normal sense, not equal in time or position to his father. The basic Greek word for "only-begotten" used for Jesus and Isaac is mo·no·ge·nes', from mo'nos, meaning "only," and gi'no·mai, a root word meaning "to generate," "to become (come into being)," states Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. Hence, mo·no·ge·nes' is defined as: "Only born, only begotten, i.e. an only child."—A Greek and English Lexicon of the New Testament, by E. Robinson. The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, edited by Gerhard Kittel, says: "[Mo·no·ge·nes'] means 'of sole descent,' i.e., without brothers or sisters." This book also states that at John 1:18; 3:16, 18; and 1 John 4:9, "the relation of Jesus is not just compared to that of an only child to its father. It is the relation of the only-begotten to the Father." So Jesus, the only-begotten Son, had a beginning to his life. And Almighty God can rightly be called his Begetter, or Father, in the same sense that an earthly father, like Abraham, begets a son. (Hebrews 11:17) Hence, when the Bible speaks of God as the "Father" of Jesus, it means what it says—that they are two separate individuals. God is the senior. Jesus is the junior—in time, position, power, and knowledge. When one considers that Jesus was not the only spirit son of God created in heaven, it becomes evident why the term "only-begotten Son" was used in his case. Countless other created spirit beings, angels, are also called "sons of God," in the same sense that Adam was, because their life-force originated with Jehovah God, the Fountain, or Source, of life. (Job 38:7; Psalm 36:9; Luke 3:38) But these were all created through the "only-begotten Son," who was the only one directly begotten by God.—Colossians 1:15-17. Was Jesus Considered to Be God? WHILE Jesus is often called the Son of God in the Bible, nobody in the first century ever thought of him as being God the Son. Even the demons, who "believe there is one God," knew from their experience in the spirit realm that Jesus was not God. So, correctly, they addressed Jesus as the separate "Son of God." (James 2:19; Matthew 8:29) And when Jesus died, the pagan Roman soldiers standing by knew enough to say that what they had heard from his followers must be right, not that Jesus was God, but that "certainly this was God's Son."—Matthew 27:54. Hence, the phrase "Son of God" refers to Jesus as a separate created being, not as part of a Trinity. As the Son of God, he could not be God himself, for John 1:18 says: "No one has ever seen God."—RS, Catholic edition. The disciples viewed Jesus as the "one mediator between God and men," not as God himself. (1 Timothy 2:5) Since by definition a mediator is someone separate from those who need mediation, it would be a contradiction for Jesus to be one entity with either of the parties he is trying to reconcile. That would be a pretending to be something he is not. The Bible is clear and consistent about the relationship of God to Jesus. Jehovah God alone is Almighty. He created the prehuman Jesus directly. Thus, Jesus had a beginning and could never be coequal with God in power or eternity. * God's name is rendered "Yahweh" in some translations, "Jehovah" in others.

Although Jesus never claimed to be God, as Jehovah’s appointed ruler he is identified in Isaiah’s prophecy by the terms “Mighty God” and “Prince of Peace.” Isaiah’s prophecy adds: “To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end.” (Isaiah 9:6, 7) So, as the “Prince”—the son of the Great King, Jehovah—Jesus will serve as Ruler of the heavenly government of “God Almighty.”—Exodus 6:3. Yet, a person may ask, ‘In what sense is Jesus a “Mighty God,” and didn’t the apostle John say that Jesus is himself God?’ In the King James version of the Bible, John 1:1 reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Some argue that this means that “the Word,” who was born on earth as the baby Jesus, is Almighty God himself. Is this true? If this verse were interpreted to mean Jesus was himself God Almighty, it would contradict the preceding statement, “the Word was with God.” Someone who is “with” another person cannot be the same as that other person. Many Bible translations thus draw a distinction, making clear that the Word was not God Almighty. For example, a sampling of Bible translations say the following: “The Word was a God,” “a god was the Word,” and “the Word was divine.”* Bible verses that in the Greek language have a construction similar to that of John 1:1 use the expression “a god.” For example, when referring to Herod Agrippa I, the crowds shouted: ‘It is a god speaking.’ And when Paul survived a bite by a poisonous snake, the people said: “He is a god.” (Acts 12:22; 28:3-6) It is in harmony with both Greek grammar and Bible teaching to speak of the Word as, not God, but “a god.”—John 1:1. Consider how John identified “the Word” in the first chapter of his Gospel. “The Word became flesh and resided among us,” he wrote, “and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs [not to God but] to an only-begotten son from a father.” So “the Word,” who became flesh, lived on the earth as the man Jesus and was seen by people. Therefore, he could not have been Almighty God, regarding whom John says: “No man has seen God at any time.”—John 1:14, 18. ‘Why, then,’ one may ask, ‘did Thomas exclaim when seeing the resurrected Jesus, “My Lord and my God!”?’ As already noted, Jesus is a god in the sense of being divine, but he is not the Father. Jesus had just told Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” Remember, too, why John wrote his Gospel. Three verses after the account about Thomas, John explained that he wrote so that people “may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God”—not that he is God.—John 20:17, 28, 31. Jesus told Mary Magdalene: ‘I am ascending to my God and your God’ Who Is “the God of This World

It is clear from the question where you are coming from. And using a Bible verse that appears to support your view further shows this to be a question you do not want discussion on, only to push your own belief. No christian doubts the veracity of the words of Psalm 83:10, but they do not contradict Jesus being God. Jesus himself said in Matthew 28: 18 "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." But this argument could go back and forward and would bring no glory to God, so I will leaven it there.

I read it,have read many times before. No, Jesus is not Jehovah, Jehovah WAS Jesus. Jehovah IS the HOLY Spirit... God will not SHARE HIS POWER with anybody, He will give AUTHORITY to whom HE pleases... read John..with and open mind...God willing it will come to you..amen

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, not God.

I rarely enter into a Trinity discussion because they normally escalate into a verbal mortar barrage and the poor innocent bystander gets shredded by the shrapnel. When asked if I believe in the Trinity I normally say that I believe in one Creator God, God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and then leave it at that. For me to proceed any further than that would be fruitless. Don't get me wrong, in the past I have gotten into some knock down drag out fights about doctrine but the Spirit would remind me of the following verses that hit me like a hammer and finally cured me of such displays. Titus 3:8-11 "This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men. 9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned." Some very strong words and because I am a child of God and a servant and disciple of Jesus, The Spirit reminded me that I should act that way.
