Here's one that you don't hear too often:

1 Peter 3:14-15
τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε, κύριον δὲ τὸν Χριστὸν ἁγιάσατε
But do not fear what they fear, or be in dread, but honor Christ the Lord as holy

Isaiah 8:12-13 LXX
τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῆτε οὐδὲ μὴ ταραχθῆτε, κύριον αὐτὸν ἁγιάσατε
But do not fear what it fears, or be in dread; honor the Lord himself as holy

The LXX uses κύριος (“Lord”) to parse the Divine Name, of which the NT then takes to apply to Jesus.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, Who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
(Hebrews 3:1-4)
  • consider Christ Jesus
  • He has greater glory than Moses:
    • He who built the house has more honor than the house
      • Moses is here called 'the house'
      • Jesus is here called 'He who built the house'
  • He who built all things is God
  • Christ Jesus is God

1 Timothy 3:16


And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
AWSOME
I love that GOD gave us these words, all in one book to.
I am trying not to read HIS word for 365 days as a challenge. After 30+ years of daily reading aloud(faith comes by HEARING and hearing by The WORD of GOD), This is one challenge I am fine not succeeding in!
Jesus of Nazareth is The LORD!
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Show from scripture that Jesus the Messiah is God.

[HR][/HR]

i'll go first:


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(John 1:1-5)

The Christ is that Word, who pitched His tent with us, came to His own, but wasn't known by them, who loved me, and gave Himself! He is the Light and the Resurrection and the Life!


[HR][/HR]

OK, your turn! Go!!
nothing to add or take away but a biggg amen

He is called the second ADAM and he did disrobe himself of his glory and took the form of a servant and became obedient unto death.....and Revelation "reveals" Jesus as GOD.....as well as the book of John.......
amen

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭14:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey:

and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor:

therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:12, 14-17, 19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5:2-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

there was no one to intercede no man on heaven or earth so he stepped off the throne and became one of us for a moment in time in order to reveal God himself to us our savior and Lord to intercede for sinners that they can be saved

he became what we needed and glorified his holy name on earth as it has always been in heaven Jesus the Lord

Did not Yahwew say to Moses, I Am that I am. Some say I will be what I will be..

He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All ar One for it is written in the OT and Yeshua repeated, God, Yahweh, is One.

It is a mystery, but because of faith I belie this, and wait for the revelation yet to come to all of us.

And there shall be no more curse,
but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it,
and His servants shall serve Him.
(Revelation 22:3)


note that "the throne" is singular, not plural.
it is the single throne of God & The Lamb ((Christ Jesus)).
they are One.


note that "His" and "Him" are singular.
Christ The Lamb = God

they are One; Christ is God

  • consider Christ Jesus
  • He has greater glory than Moses:
    • He who built the house has more honor than the house
      • Moses is here called 'the house'
      • Jesus is here called 'He who built the house'
  • He who built all things is God
  • Christ Jesus is God
If "Moses is here called 'the house"
and "Jesus is here called 'He who built the house"
and "
He who built all things is God"
The Scripture tells us plainly without contradiction, that Jesus is the birth of the 1st created MAN (ADAM)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Can go on but I am sure the first man GOD created (Adam) is GODs express image actually GOD HIMSELF as a PERFECT man., bringing physical existence into spiritual perfection. Jesus of Nazareth is The seed of GOD (spirit) and The seed of GODs creation (physical which never was) making of The 2 ONE new man, hereby bringing peace.

Jesus of Nazareth is The LORD!

Here's one you don't hear very often. Notice the language found on Jesus’ lips in Matthew 21:1–3:

“As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.’” (Matthew 21:1–3)​
Jesus seems to know (without physically being present) what awaits ahead of His disciples are a donkey and her colt. And Jesus instructs His disciples to bring the pair back to Him, and should anyone stop to question them, tell them that, “'the Lord needs them,' and he will immediately send them.” Undoubtedly, Jesus is referring to none other than Himself as this “Lord.” But what are we to make of the words, “the Lord needs them”? Imagine you are an everyday Jewish commoner, and you witness two men appearing to “steal” a donkey that does not belong to them. Your natural response would be, “Who are you? And what do you think you're doing?” And being an ordinary Jewish commoner; would you ever stop to think to yourself, “Who is this 'Lord' that you speak of”? To the Jewish commoner hearing these words, they would naturally think of “the LORD (of the OT),” He who owns absolutely everything.

Not to mention, this best explains why the Jew would (without question) “immediately send them,” and without question. Why? Because the disciples are fulfilling this at the request of none other than “the LORD.” But just to make sure we’re understanding the import of Jesus’ words correctly, notice then what He says just a few verses later (Matthew 21:15–16):

“But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’ they were indignant, and they said to Him, ‘Do you hear what these are saying?’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise?’” (Matthew 21:15-16)​
To what exactly was Jesus referring to when He asked, “have you never read, Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise?”

“O Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.” (Psalm 8:1-2)​
As the context shows, the Psalter is speaking of Yahweh receiving praise from babes and infants to shame His enemies who refuse to do likewise. And yet, Jesus used this same passage to justify the praise and honor He was receiving from the children in order to silence His accusers.

every house is built by someone -- and all things that were made, were made by Him, through Him, and for Him :)

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Note the Temple - consists of Both, God and the Lamb and Both are the Light
