Did Jesus Claim to be Yahweh? (John

- A short, contextual explanation of a popular passage that always gets brought up as a proof-text for Yeshua being Yahweh.
A longer explanation here: www.ministersnewcovenant.org/...
He almost spent his time _only_ identifying himself as God. He forgives people their sins, and He says all earthly and heavenly authority has been given Him, He says that He has been sending prophets to Israel. The leaders certainly understood who He claimed to be as they said, "you declare yourself to be God."
Why does he(Yahshua) say:
•"If it be your will Father, let this cup pass me by."
•"I come in the name of my Father."
•"There is no one good, except Yahweh."
Why did Yahshua say these things?
@@garywilson818good question and the answer is in the new testament. Phillipines 2:6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
@@garywilson818So it's clear that Jesus humbled himself to die for our sins. Moreover when he asked "why do you call me good", he's not denying being good or God but instead telling the person that if you are calling me good then you are calling me God. John 10:11 "I'm the "good" shepherd"
Thank you for this, brother.
Thank you for sharing brother Matthew. Shalom
Thank you for this powerful teaching. Christ is with us. 👑🔥🕊️
Very good! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you brother 🙏🙏 that cleared some things up for me praise be to YAHWEH!!
No such thing as yahweh in Scripture. Where did you get the vowels from to pronounce the tetragrammaton?
Wonderful Teaching !
It’s absolutely not. It’s horrendous error.
EXCELLENT “ SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT , VERY WELL DETAILED EXPLAINED, AMEN. Thank YOU BROTHER MATTHEW JENSEN, ( SHALOM )
Shalom, brother Matthew. It does help to take in the whole truth, doesn't it. 🙏🕊
Thanks for sharing this. Not shared in church
It’s not shared in church because the foundation of Christianity is Jesus’ divinity and this UA-camr is teaching absolute error.
If you want to hear taught the lie that Jesus isn’t God, visit a JW Kingdom Hall or even a mosque. They’ll be happy to oblige.
Zechariah 12 vers 1-10. 10 is the ending that should made this question very obvious. Even in Genesis when the Voice of God was heard walking, or how about the fact Jesus could forgive sin but the Pharisees themselves said only God could forgive sins. The resemblance between Gods finger writing the 10 comments and when Jesus writing in the dirt. Its all there, but we have a issue trying to compare human standards to Gods standards and God is not us guys. Thats the key. We overthink a lot when sometimes we should just abide in Christ like he was trying to get at in the very beginning.
If you agree with your statement then you should also agree with everything your Chist says, correct?
So then, what if your Christ denies your truth? What if he says your truth is blasphemous not only to your Father, but your King as well? What, then? Will your discernment guide you into making the correct decision? What if he says he is not God in the flesh? Will you listen to what he says? Or will you call him a liar?
John 5:23 that all may honor the son as they honor the father. Whoever does not honor the son does not honor the father.
So, explain what Jesus meant in Revelation when He declares He is the ‘alpha and the omega’, which is also a reference to Yahweh in the Old Testament.
Where can one find, or can you provide, a clear doctrinal statement regarding your position on who and what Jesus is and how He is or is not deity? I'm not clear about what you are actually claiming or not. I think such a statement could be very helpful and informative.
I believe Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah, the Son of the living God. Basically what Peter said in Matthew 16:13-18. I have several short and long videos on the subject in a few playlists here on my YT channel.
@@emjmnc, thank you. I'll try to look back for them. In the meantime, from my perspective as someone unfamiliar with your Christology and Theology proper (the study of God), I find the statement you gave lacking with regard to succinctly stating what your position is and how it is distinct from the common orthodox position. I get the sense it is different, but don't really understand how just yet. I will try to go back through videos to learn more, as suggested though.
All I know is this.
Who is coming back on the clouds and stepping on the Mt of Olives.
I am he, is also the promised one from Yahwehs plan for the ages
You mean yahweh and asherah?
He also said don't worship me-there is only one that is good
No he said I am the GOOD SHEPHERD!
And yet when Thomas declared to Jesus, “My Lord and my God”, He didn’t correct Thomas.
@ericramsey76
Being the good shepard means you have lost your way from truth. Being the good shepard he is, he will guide you back home to this place called truth. God's TRUTH.
@MisterN0b0dy
How do you know he was not saying My Lord, My God, like you might say, "My Lord, oh my God?" As an exclamation.
@@theredeemeriam😂😂😂😂 You really are clutching at straws.
You’ll be next claiming Thomas was speaking in metaphor 😂😂😂
Simply put if Jesus is not Jehova ~ HE CAN NOT SAVE YOU. ISAIAH 43:10
PLEASE UNDERSTAD JESUS IS THE FATHER THAT CREATED YOU AND IS THE OLD TESTAMENT GOD.
Of course, he can save your souls. He is the Son of God. This comes with the power of forgiveness. So when he is here in his official capacity, he does have the power to forgive. This is why he is King of kings and Lord of lords.
Correct, Jesus is not jehovah and jehovah is not the God of Israel! Or is it yahweh or the many variations of it?
Secondly, he is not God in the flesh.
@@theredeemeriam Nowhere does the Bible teach God in the flesh, that's pagan mythology and foreign to the Scriptures. Where is the answer to my question about the tetragrammaton?
@JudeOne3Four
What question? I don't see it? The black cube you refer to as the tetragrammatron is the worship of saturn, or better known as Satan.
Context, context, context! 😊👍
Try reading John 8 in light of John 1 !
Vatican scribblers competed to make a back story for Paul's imaginary friend. That's all that is.
The bride of Christ would know Jesus is God
Who made everything? God [Gen 1:1 KJV] 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Who made everything? God
[Jhn 1:1-2 KJV] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
The 144 would be great in the kingdom like John and Peter and teach only the truth. Not leading people astray saying Jesus is not God.
Has this Messiah in Jeremiah came yet?
_Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth._
_Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS._
The two English words in both Jeremiah 23:5 & 23:6 “THE LORD” had been translated from the single Hebrew word יְהֹוָה which is of course the Jewish national name of God. (The one and only true God, the Hebrew God)
Has this Messiah, in whom יְהֹוָה himself has instructed _"his name whereby he shall be called"_ יְהֹוָה _"YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS"_ came yet? Or should we wait?
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD [ יְהֹוָה ], that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, [ יְהֹוָה ] OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I have a doubt why would he say I and The Father are one?
Why would he claim to be the only way to the Father.
Also at the well with the Samaritan woman saying he is the fountain of life.
I mean can someone not GOD make such claims which will indicate worship to him.
I think all of this is more complex than we know and hence put your faith in Christ alone.
Our FATHER is SPIRIT HIS SPIRIT came into flesh manifest in the flesh JESUS was in the bosom of the FATHER came down and dwelt amongst man HIS SPIRIT I and the FATHER are 1 now HE is back at the right hand of the FATHER right hand of POWER
who created everything?
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1 NKJV
who created everything?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. - John 1:1-5 NKJV
God and God only created creation through his word.
I agree... with some exceptions. Humor me. Oh and let me say thank you for sharing. Even before Abraham I am (that being). He was the word(messiah) and nought was made without his hands. The instances where he appeared and was worshipped unlike other angels/see that you do not do that. Also I pray that you become one even as I and the father are one (achad). And those shared titles we can receive. All seem to point to a state of oneness we can achieve through the indwelling of his ruach. Yet he became (operative word here) a little lower than the angels for a little while. Indicating he put his angelic state aside for a time. Then after his testing ( necessary because of the rebellion) he later becomes something else. The bright and morning star. Which was held by another (lucifer). I don't know if you read Enoch , but there it says the son of man whom he was inquiring about "why do you seek to know that which has been kept secret". We all have been given the ability to become children of Yahuah. Yet none of us can become the one begotten. Yet we are supposed to do greater things than these.
In Jude it says the ones who came not forward at their appointed time. Left their habitation in the shamayim and defiled their flesh with women. In Enoch again it says the one who was hidden before the creation of the world. It also says the stars represent the glory of the righteous who come out of the tribulations. The heavens (shamayim) exist outside of the constraints of time. This is explained in revelation. So there are so many more scriptural references I could give here, but it is quite possible, he can indeed be the one begotten son, preexisting before time, and still separate from the father, yet as one even the fullness thereof. Now he is our teacher, not me, yet this understanding is the absolute best one I can find that keeps all scripture in harmony without any confusion. When he was baptized Yahuah said this is my son in whom I am well pleased... Today I have begotten thee(his appointed time). Now let's not miss ours because... he knew us before the creation of the world.
Shalom😊
Well said, BRAVO 👏
You have spoken words of truth!
You are every bit the child of our Father, as Yeshua is the Son. Your truth is his truth.
3:46 _"...them stoning him or wanting to stone him, does not mean that they thought he was claiming to be YHWH."_
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Used to be a trinitarian but found out it's a false belief but that is a good Scriptural point & will have to look into this some more.
@@tomislav4 Trinity is not taught by the scriptures.
If you are a Grandfather, a Father, and a Son, does this some how make you a trinity? Or three persons in one?

Jesus claimed to have not spoken plainly of the Father...
_John 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father._
Jesus is also the Comforter...

_John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you._
_John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you._
Jesus will not leave us comfortless. Jesus will come to us.
_John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you._
_John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid._
The Comforter is the Holy Ghost.
@@tomislav4If God is not triune then why Jesus said"My father is greater than I" or "the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent"
@isaacmalsawmsanga8699 Yahshua says "My Father is "greater" than I", how much clearer can it be that Yahshua is under authority to His Father - The Most High.
@isaacmalsawmsanga8699 The only True God "AND" Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
He claimed to come in His name, tags proxy. Sent his only begotten son to do only what a man could do according to the laws of moses. It was Gods law that even the creator had to obey or he would not have been a righteous God
Who in the world is yahweh? No such thing in Scripture.
Never! He always placed Abba AS Above him.
Correct!
Sad, but very bad exegesis. John 1:1 starts the context not John ch 4 as this video suggest. John chapter 14 -16 is extremely clear that Jesus is revealing that he is the veil of the father and that without the father dwelling and speaking through him Jesus, the man would have no deification concerning him. The angel that came and visited Abraham prior to the Sodom and Gomorrah event Abraham thrust himself on the ground and worshiped the Lord God and the angel does not correct him. However, in every instance throughout the Scriptures that when someone worshiped an angel that was not a representative of the fullness of the father or father himself, however you want to look at it, that angel would say “do not worship me.” The entire Torah and the prophets and the gospels and the book of revelation after studying it, it is impossible to arrive to any other conclusion then that Jesus is in fact, the veil of the father and the visible imagery of all that the almighty father is , he is from now and forever the body of GOD, amen When you get to heaven, you are going to see Jesus only, as the body or veil of GOD, demonstrating all of who he is and his character through him in complete oneness. The Book of revelation says that the father and the lamb sit on one throne as they are the same person.
I've never read those words in scripture, where is Yeshua called the veil of God.
@@Psalm37- 19Therefore, brethren, having boldness[f] to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:19-22
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or [e]principalities or [f]powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:15
There are more.
@jeremybest-zd5jp Quick reply, thank you. Do you think all things were created by Yeshua?
I see how his flesh is referenced as the veil there in Hebrews, however, I don't see how you connect that to be the flesh of the Father... also, aren't we all made in the image of the Father?
@@Psalm37- yes I do! Tons of reasons. Please look at John 14. Jesus states clearly that HE and the father are one. In fact the father is talking to you right now. He says. Then John 1:1 make it clear. God became flesh is YHVH ELOHIM became flesh. Book of revelation is very clear. In first 2 chapters. It says the one who is first and last the LORD GOD which in the Hebrew is YHVH ELOHIM then revelation 22 exact phrase it says that it is I Jesus. There is also the aleph tav or alpha and omega truth that has been unveiled. Study how 7000 in the Tanakh aleph tav was not translated but Jesus said I am the aleph tav.
send me a message and I’ll send you a picture diagram to study.

Well, you should write a book then! Make sure you put it in the fiction section.

And you are not a real person, period. See how you like it? Repent!
Then explain 1 Timothy 3:16.
@MisterN0b0dy
Trinitarian scholars admit that these Greek texts were altered by scribes in favor of the Trinitarian position. The reading of the earliest and best manuscripts is not “God” but rather “he who.” Almost all the modern versions have the verse as “the mystery of godliness is great, which was manifest in the flesh,” or some close equivalent. In other words, Christians have been purposefully misled into accepting this doctrine that comes from the devil.
@@theredeemeriam Absolute rubbish. In John 8:58, the Jewish religious leaders directly questioned Jesus about His identity. Jesus’s reply was clear and without ambiguity: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM”. Jesus was declaring Himself to be the eternal God incarnate; the same God who Moses encountered in Exodus 3:14. The Jewish religious leaders knew exactly what Jesus was claiming, because their response was to stone Him for blasphemy; they knew precisely that He was saying He was one and the same with the God Moses encountered in Exodus 3:14.
This is repeated in John 10:33: “The Jews answered Him, saying, ‘For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God’”. The Jews knew Jesus was claiming to be God.
In Revelation 22:13 Jesus said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” (Revelation 22:13). Jesus in fact used this phrase of Himself four times in the book of Revelation (1:8, 17-18; 21:6-7 and 22:13). Jesus is very clearly calling Himself God. He is referencing Isaiah 44:6, in which God declares, “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God”.
The Bible is crystal clear that only God can and should be worshiped. The Bible is also clear that JESUS accepted worship, and in doing so, confirmed His divinity. This is important because there are those who deny the deity of Christ, relegating Him instead to a lesser position than God. Yes, Jesus accepted worship. As the second Person of the Trinity, He was and still is worshiped.
From the beginning of Jesus’ life, we see examples of Him being worshiped. As soon as the Magi laid eyes on baby Jesus, they “fell down and worshiped Him” (Matthew 2:11).
And that is only right bearing in mind that even before Jesus was born into this world, an angel had appeared to Joseph and revealed that Mary had conceived a child through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20-21). Mary would give birth to a Son, and they were to name Him Jesus. Then Matthew, quoting from Isaiah 7:14, provided this inspired revelation: “All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”)” (Matthew 1:22-23).
Seven hundred years earlier, the prophet Isaiah foresaw the virgin birth of the promised Messiah. He prophesied that His name would be Immanuel, which means “God with us.” By referencing the words of Isaiah, Matthew recognised Jesus as Immanuel. The name Immanuel expresses the miracle of the Incarnation: Jesus is God with us! God had been with His people always-in the pillar of cloud above the tabernacle, in the voice of the prophets, in the ark of the covenant-but never was God so clearly present with His people as He was through His virgin-born Son, Jesus, the Messiah of Israel.
In the Old Testament, the presence of God with His people was most evident when His glory filled the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8; 40:34-35) and the temple (1 Kings 8:10-11). But that glory was far surpassed by the personal presence of God the Son, God with us in person.
Perhaps the most significant passage in the Bible on the Incarnation of Jesus is John 1:1-14. John states that “the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning” (verses 1-2). John uses the term logos, or “the Word,” as a clear reference to God. John declares in verse 14, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
There is no doubt from Scripture that Jesus IS God, claimed to be God and accepted worship as God.
The Bible records the initial response Jesus received when He made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem: “So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’” (Matthew 21:9; John 12:13) The word hosanna is a plea for salvation and an expression of adoration. This word used by the crowd is definitely a form of worship.
Just after Jesus amazed the disciples by walking on water, “those who were in the boat worshiped him (Matthew 14:33).
Two more memorable examples of Jesus accepting worship occurred just after His resurrection. Some of the women (Matthew 28:8-9; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:10) were on their way to tell the disciples of the resurrection when Jesus met them on their way. When they realised it was He, they “came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him” (Matthew 28:9).
Then there is the case of Thomas, who didn’t believe Jesus had risen from the dead despite the other disciples’ testifying to that fact. It had been about a week since the resurrection, and Thomas still doubted it. Jesus, knowing Thomas doubted, appeared to him in full bodily form and showed him the nail marks in His hands and feet and the wound in His side. How did Thomas respond? “Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’” (John 20:28).
In NONE of these instances did Jesus tell those worshiping Him to stop, as did mere men and even angels who were being worshiped wrongly by others (Acts 10:25-26; Revelation 19:9-10).
