Jesus is NOT God in the flesh, he is the SON of God, the term God in the flesh does not appear in the Bible, it is YOU who just made it up. If Jesus is God then please tell us WHO is the God of Jesus ? Please tell us, as Eph 1:3 says "blessed be the GOD and father of our lord Jesus" so WHO is the God of Jesus, and what is his name ???
@@NewCreationInChrist896 Then you need to get up to date with recent reserch and the ancient manuscripts that are coming online.....There is also a clue in the names of people in the Bible whose names were made up in part from the names of their gods, referred to as THEOPHORIC NAMES IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,theophoric names are names derived from a god. For example:
False gods: Bel and Nebo: Bel = Belteshazar (Daniel) Nebo = Nebonidus, Nebuchadnezzar,
True God Yeho(vah) ….Yehoyakim, Yehoram, Yehoshua, Yehoshaphat, Yehudah, Yehoash , Jeho-a-haz
The CLUE is in the name. If you really are open minded and really do want to find out the real way to pronounce God's name, then may I suggest that you look into it with an open mind.

I love that y'all are making these in video format!
Are you asking because you are seeking the truth @@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000? Or maybe because you have an opinion that's contrary to popular Biblical revelation and your pride motivates you to engage in a public debates? Maybe because you are concerned about the thief on the cross who Christ said would be with Him in paradise? What is your reason for asking a random question in an irrelevant context?
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 You are saved once you believe that you are a sinner and need saving. Sin leads to death. But Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose on the third day, giving us hope for the resurrection too. He gave us hope for heaven. Jesus said if you love me you would obey my commands. No, baptism doesn't save you, but YES you should absolutely be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ out of obedience and love for Jesus Christ. He is God who came in the flesh to die for many. It's really a relationship. If you love your parents, you will honor them and obey them. You will speak to them and serve them out of love. You can never earn their love because they loved you already! Get baptized if you truly believe in the one that saved you. It's a beautiful and loving thing to do.
@@JoinUsInVR let him ask the question. God will reveal his motives.
@@Maria.Pilato I was trying to get him to elaborate in the hope he'd then be invested in the discussion, and therefore be more likely to stick around long enough to realize the need to confess + repent + call and trust in Jesus for salvation. But it seems like he was scared off (deleted his own message)
@@JoinUsInVR I understand you now. He has many posts like that, so it made me question afterwards what his motive was.
It's also very interesting to note that in Revelation 1:4 it says... "... from Him who is and was and is to come..." referring to Yeshua (Jesus). It's one more example of Yeshua revealing who He has always been!! You can see Him throughout the Old Testament wherever you see YHVH!!💙 Please continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem!! Sha-alu Shalom Yerushalayim!!!🤍💙🤍🇮🇱
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 No... and it's proven with the thief that was crucified next to Jesus!!🥰
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 the act of baptism doesn't do the saving, but it rather shows that one is living in obedience to Christ, having been saved upon believing. the water that you are immersed in represents the fact that you are dying to your sins and when you are lifted out of the water it represents that you are alive in christ and will be raised to him one day.
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 Jesus' blood shed on the cross IS the propitiation for our sins. Should we get baptized? Yes! This is one of our first steps in our relationship with God, an outward expression of what happened to your soul once you believed. It would be like, if someone believed that Jesus forgave sins, but lived an unrepentant life...thats not real faith and love. You wouldnt do the the very things Jesus died for. On the opposite side, if Jesus says be baptized, why wouldn't obey him out of love?
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 Do you really believe that God would condemn someone to Hell who believes in Him but hasn't been baptized? For example, a disabled person who can't interact in any way around Him, but does believe in God.
He is also the first and the last.
Excellent description!
Thank you for this video.
Amen! My pastor at church talks a lot about the Hebrew. I love this stuff.
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9.

Why don’t you want to be water-baptize is the question you ask yourself. It’s an act of obedience proceeding repentance and to imitate what Jesus did, it’s an expression of our faith not to get saved, it’s because we’re saved.

@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 not according to Jesus no. Unless you simply don’t understand John 3:18 or John 3:17 or John 6:47 or Romans 10:13 or the kabillon other verses you love to ignore.

I saw another interpretation of the name which also made sense to me, namely: The one who exists and causes existence. And the name Jesus, the original Hebrew version is that name of God with an added "saves" at the end. Jahwe-shua. (God saves).
So if no J in Hebrew, all name in OT with letter J are wrong? Coz your basis iis that letter is not found in Hebrew.
If you research more J is Y sound in German bible translation so it's not issue if letter J is used . The English change the sound of that letter
Similar toY in modern American alphabet
Thanks for the presentation. Yes you are right that God has only one personal holy name as represented by the Tetragrammaton ( יהוה) often transliterated as YHWH. Then as known then translated into various best guessed forms such as Yahweh, Yehwah, Yehwih, or Yeho·wah
According to Britannica - "Early Christian writers, such as St. Clement of Alexandria in the 2nd century, had used a form like Yahweh, and this pronunciation of the tetragrammaton was never really lost. Many Greek transcriptions also indicated that YHWH should be pronounced Yahweh"
Of course, when this is put into English or Latinized (as an example) then we can get Jehovah, Yehovah, Iehovah, Iehouah etc… all pretty similar. I personally speak English. Did God say not to translate his name into other languages that we speak? Please show me a scripture that’s says he didn’t want humans to use his name in other language forms. Sure, we can say Yahweh or similar if we choose to or a close representation in our own language. There is no prohibition in the Bible to do any of this.
Also if you don't want to use a J letter at the beginning of the English form then stop also using J for Jeremiah and Joseph and Jehu and Jonah etc...etc... So if you are going to pronounce it Yahweh and not a English or Latinized form then you are of course going to be consistent and call Jesus - Yeshua. Jehovah is simply a Latinized form the same as Jesus is Latinized.
If we don’t know the exact way to pronounce it due to the lost vowels, then should we NOT use it? Should we really believe its too sacred to get wrong? Should we follow ancient superstations that are not in the Hebrew Bible anywhere?
On this interestingly the Encyclopaedia Judaica says: “The avoidance of pronouncing the name YHWH is . . . caused by a misunderstanding of the Third Commandment (Ex. 20:7; Deut. 5:11) as meaning ‘Thou shalt not take the name of YHWH thy God in vain,’ whereas it really means ‘You shall not swear falsely by the name of YHWH your God.’”
So clearly this is not a commandment by God not to use his name. He is simply saying don't use my name in a bad, worthless way or use it to lie basically. Or to impugn his character in any way. This is NOT saying..... don't say my name if not sure how to pronounce it. Why would he mean that? Does not fit with the scriptures at all! (see the verses below in various translations for comparisons)
Also, Leviticus 24:16 is talking about blasphemy (as shown by verse 15) and using Gods name in a bad or blasphemous way such as calling down evil on God's name which was a practice that started previously. So, God stated that the death penalty was to be invoked for such a crime against him. This is not at all saying DONT use Gods name! Purposely ignoring context here to say otherwise.
Gods holy personal and divine name is in the Hebrew Bible over 6800 times much more than any other name. Quite amazing. Its very obvious he wants us to know his name and use it! The common noun words (as examples) - God or god, Almighty, I Am Who I Am Lord, Sovereign, Father, First and Last - are all descriptive titles and are not personal names of God or a proper noun to identify Gods name. Again, context is not taken into account and surrounding verses which tell the accurate story. Ex 3:14 being a case in point. This is used by itself to give a false impression about what God is saying about his identity. But then verse 15 is ignored. This next verse explains what God really said to Moses about his name which is Yahweh or similar.
But what is Gods viewpoint? Does he want us to use his name whichever language translated version we use of the Tetragrammaton in the Bible? What is God telling us in these verses below (provided in various Bible translations below)
Is God saying don’t use my name- forget it? Its to sacred to use? You must only use for a 1500 hundred or 2000 years or so then stop using it? Then just use my titles like ...The I Am Who I am, Almighty God, Most high, Father, Lord etc…..? Or don’t use my name if not sure how to pronounce! Really are there any verses in the Bible at all that hint at this at all?? Isn't it completely the other way around?
How important is God's word and name to us. Or is it just our own viewpoint that's important.
Hopefully some food for thought for truth seekers. Thanks

Professor G. T. Manley points out: “A study of the word ‘name’ in the O[ld] T[estament] reveals how much it means in Hebrew. The name is no mere label, but is significant of the real personality of him to whom it belongs. . . . When a person puts his ‘name’ upon a thing or another person the latter comes under his influence and protection.”-New Bible Dictionary, edited by J. D. Douglas, 1985, p. 430; compare Everyman’s Talmud, by A. Cohen, 1949, p. 24;
No wonder Almighty God told the ancient Israelites that they were his witnesses and to be called by his name. He wanted to protect them and also to reveal his name and his power through his miraculous protection of his people. His people were his children. He was their father. They were in reality to represent him through their actions and worship. All the nations were to come to know his name as the true God! A loving father but also identified specifically by his personal unique and special name. This would also separate him from all the other false gods of this world promoted by the enemy of truth and the father of the lie - Satan the devil.
Those that serve the true Almighty God and our creator today and use his name regularly in conversation and in prayer (Yahweh, Jehovah or whichever one you prefer or in your own language) today know that he is their God protecting them and guiding them today. They are also being obedient to his instructions in his word. Thanks for your time ( Isa 43:7 - Acts 15:17)
YHWH is pronounced exactly how it's spelled. Yuh-hwuh. Jesus name was Yeshua. J was not a sound that Hebrew had in those days. Jacob is Yakov. The list goes on. We use J's because it works for English.
Yep correct! Thats why to pronounce God name in English as Jehovah is perfectly fine. If you want to speak Hebrew, then sure use Yahweh. Its common practice all over the world and for centuries to translate proper nouns (personal names) into other languages which change them. Its still the name but in another language. So, if anyone complains that we shouldn't use the letter J as it wasn't used in Hebrew or Greek then stop saying Jesus or Jermiah, Joseph etc... Be consistent or if not maybe its about trying to hide Gods name as the ancient Jewish leaders did. These ones Killed Jesus in the first century. But well before that they stopped using Gods name and just wrote or said LORD (Hebrew - Adonay / Greek - Kyrios) showing their wickedness. Im not going to follow them so will use Jehovah and a Bible translation in English that uses Gods name Jehovah in the original places over 6800 times. Yes put on high the author of the Bible and especially after he told us to use, know and tell others about his name many times in his word!!@@AntiquatedApe
@@kableguy5525 we can't both be correct. Jehovah isn't the name. It's YHWH. It cannot be both. It's pronounced Yuh-hwuh,there are no assumed vowels in this word such as E,O,or A that you find in the pronunciation jEhOvAh. A closer approximation to YHWH would be pronounced closer to yeh-hwah which is satisfied by the pronunciation I gave. To recap: Jehovah is not correct.
Exactly! - Jehovah is not the exact name of God and nor is Yahweh or Yuh-hwuh or Yeh-hwah. The original pronunciation of Gods name was lost - hence the variety on suggested forms today of Hebrew forms of Yahweh to other forms in other languages. Best guessing in fact.
Actually In the second half of the first millennium C.E., Jewish scholars introduced a system of points to represent the missing vowels in the consonantal Hebrew text. Yeah the VOWELS were MISSING. So God allowed that to happen. So when it came to God’s name, instead of inserting the proper vowel signs for it, they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say ʼAdho·naiʹ (meaning “Sovereign Lord”) or ʼElo·himʹ (meaning “God”).
Then later the Codex Leningrad B 19A, of the 11th century C.E., vowel points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwahʹ, Yehwihʹ, and Yeho·wahʹ. Ginsburg’s edition of the Masoretic text vowel points the divine name to read Yeho·wahʹ. (Ge 3:14, ftn) Some Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation. They point out that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah (Jah in the Latinized form), as at Psalm 89:8 and in the expression Ha·lelu-Yahʹ (meaning “Praise Jah, you people!”). (Ps 104:35; 150:1, 6) Also, the forms Yehohʹ, Yoh, Yah, and Yaʹhu, found in the Hebrew spelling of the names Jehoshaphat, Joshaphat, Shephatiah, and others, can all be derived from Yahweh. Greek transliterations of the name by early Christian writers point in a somewhat similar direction with spellings such as I·a·beʹ and I·a·ou·eʹ, which, as pronounced in Greek, resemble Yahweh. Still, there is by no means unanimity among scholars on the subject, some favoring yet other pronunciations, such as “Yahuwa,” “Yahuah,” or “Yehuah.”
Since certainty of pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton is NOT NOW attainable, there is no reason for abandoning in English the well-known form “Jehovah” thats been in use for centuries to favor some other suggested pronunciation. If such a change were made, then, to be consistent, changes should be made in the spelling and pronunciation of a host of other names found in the Scriptures: Jeremiah would be changed to Yir·meyahʹ, Isaiah would become Yeshaʽ·yaʹhu, and Jesus would be either Yehoh·shuʹaʽ (as in Hebrew) or I·e·sousʹ (as in Greek). Yet those who complain about the pronunciation Jehovah or Yahweh don't change those names.
I lIke what Luther said back in 1543 - Luther wrote: “That they [the Jews] now allege the name Jehovah to be unpronounceable, they do not know what they are talking about . . . If it can be written with pen and ink, why should it not be spoken, which is much better than being written with pen and ink? Why do they not also call it unwritable, unreadable or unthinkable? All things considered, there is something foul.” Yeah, I'm with him on this.
The purpose of words is to transmit thoughts; in English the name Jehovah identifies the true God, transmitting this thought more satisfactorily today than any of the suggested substitutes. But hey or huh....each do their own. Have a lovely day😊
@@kableguy5525 if you say exactly then you agree with the rest of my statement. YHWH is exactly how it's pronounced,without vowel sounds. It sounds like a Y sound with an H after and then a W sound with an H after.
Did you know that YHWH, written with the old “Otiot” Hebrew letter you get the meaning “Behold the hand,behold the nail”, explaining John 1:1: YHWH = Yeshua and Yeshua = YHWH = The Word
Actually the Yah part of Yahweh is pretty universally well known among hebrew scholars. The weh pronunciation is the part that is uncertain.
Please note, Yahweh is NOT God's name , Yahweh is NOT even a Hebrew word....There is also a clue in the names of people in the Bible whose names were made up in part from the names of their gods, referred to as THEOPHORIC NAMES IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,theophoric names are names derived from a god.

It's so hard to determine how to properly address God...
Whatever that is on your heart that is pure.
You turn to Him, and know He hears you.
We don't even need to know His name, really.
It says in the Psalms, He knows our thoughts from afar.
I have an analog to this with my own son.
We have a certain amount of one-on-one time, to the point he knows I'll hear him when he speaks to me. This has been the case for so long, I can't remember the last time he called me Dad. He hasn't needed to.
In the same way, and to an indescribably higher degree, God knows when you're talking to Him.
I usually start out with "Lord God" or "Lord Jesus". And i always pray in Jesus' name.
You address God with you actions. Your Works. If you arent doing Gods work he doesnt know you. PERIOD. He said many will call on my name and I will not hear them. He knew you before you were created in the womb. Your spirit is intertwined with his.. No words are even necessary to speak to God. He knows what you need before you ask. Do what he commands and he will be with you always
His name is Jesus, not Yahweh. Yaweh demands sacrifice, Jesus does not. Debunked!

I don't know. With letters like aish, jod, and a couple others, it seems like there are a couple vowels.
Those could have been more recent additions, I suppose.
Still, just because a language's written form doesn't describe something, doesn't mean it's not there.

It can be quite a challenge to make a video on such a topic in only a few minutes. Regardless of what is claimed, viewers should understand that :
-YHWH is the personal name of the God of the Bible
- It is found thousands of times - over 6000 times - in the Bible
- It was used in psalms which were songs of preaise and so the name was sung as we do today with Hallelujah !
- The name was widely used in every day life and found in archaeological findings.
- It was only much later that the unscriptural Jewish traditions came about.
- the translators of the Septuagint, the Greek Bible, contraray to what was said, still included the divine name in ancient Hebrew in the text.
- The divine name was incorporated into many Jewish names egYEHOshua.
- Jesus asked his followers to 'hallow' or make holy/ sanctify the divine name in the famour Lord's prayer. (Mat 6 :9,10)
- Some scholars argue that the divine name would originally have been used in NT writings when they were quoting from OT passages.
Failure to un derstand the name robs Christians of the Jewish origins of their faith.
--
The name of God in the OT is written without the vowels, research based on recent ancient manuscripts now digitised and put online , such as the Allepo Codex, and the Royal MS 16 A II available online at the British museum which have the tetragrammaton with the VOWEL POINTS, the vowel points being the "Sheva, the Cholem & the Kamatz.

I have heard people argue that the reason it''s "YHWH" is because they didn't want anyone to be able to say the name of God (in vain, out of respect, etc). But the entire language didn't have vowels, so that can't be true
A name is a set of words used to refer to someone or something. The Lord has many names. Exodus 6:3, Revelation 7:9, revelation 19:12-16. I say his name as "Yah Ha Wah" or Yahawah. God is way more concerned about how you treat him and others than what you call him. If youre not following his ways then you could call on any name til your blue in the face. It wont do any good. He said many will call on my name , and I will not hear them. Thats why I teach that the true name of God is his works.
i think its more like, they didn't use vowels in writing but in speaking. So even though its written YHWH, they still speak the whole name. But for many reasons, they called God Adonai, aka LORD. It's respectful.

@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 depending on which denomination you follow, you will hear mixed things. however, the Bible never explicitly says you must be baptized in ordered to be saved. it says Jesus is the ONLY way, not our works. On the cross, as he was being murdered, 2 thieves were also being crucified next to him. One was mocking Him, "if you're so great, show us a miracle" and the other said "you fool he is innocent" and believed in Him. It is then that Jesus turned to the man and said "you believed, Today, you will be with me in heaven", right before they each died. no baptism needed, just pure trust in Jesus.

I think its cool to research but if you ever want a direct line to God, Jesus is the operator and I think his name is easier to pronounce too 😅
That's strange, Josephus tells us it is 4 vowel sounds!!!

Wrong
Try explaining this to a Jehovah witness and then listen to their rebuke of the facts while you laugh.
Why not the name YHVH? Meaning Yod Hev Vav Hev. The name that no one dares to speak of?
That name is Yahweh.
the "vav" used to be called "waw".. the "w" sound dropped in modern hebrew- so it would be YHWH, not YHVH
A few things…
If Hebrew is a vowel less language then why is the only misunderstood name
YHWH?
(I think the Jews had it right by not pronouncing it.)
Also, WHO ADDED THE VOWELS AND WHEN? (Too many vague answers on that one. Nobody seems to view that as problematic.)
The New Testament says that Jesus (or its legitimate translation) is the name ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME!
Not Yahweh.
Also, Yahweh is not mentioned once in the NT. Not once!
It has been said that God put the unpronounceable letters YHWH in the OT for a reason.
To be revealed at a later time.
Then came Jesus.
THE ONLY NAME GIVEN UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH MAN CAN BE SAVED.
(So there’s that.)
What I can’t figure out is, what’s the trick?
Where’s the deception?
Many who call upon the name of Jesus refer to God as Yahweh.
Salvation is not lost on technicality.
The simplicity of the gospel prevents that .
So what’s the scam?
I believe YHWH , the mystery name, was a place holder (like everything else was. Temple sacrifice, Passover, etc.)
They all pointed to Christ.
Who is the Passover, the sacrifice, etc.
Shouldn't the W be pounced as a V as a jews say it??
Isn't it difficult to fight against all the ancient Hebrew mss evidence with Yod He Vav He and the vowels Sheva Cholam Kamatz but never do we find the letter W in any human language until the 5th century CE and never do we see the name yahweh in any ancient Hebrew literature?
Wrong
The consonant / w/ was utilized in many ancient languages b4 & after Hebrew
@@davidbarber3821 any good encyclopedia will show that the letter W never existed in Bible times. It wasn't invented until the 5th century CE at the earliest. I think it's good to stick to facts. The name "yahweh" does not appear in any ancient Hebrew literature. It is a Samaritan god.

SING AND SHOUT HALLELUYAH!
From then, Rebbe, Melech YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH began to proclaim, saying, "LAlter LiTeshuvah (Immediate Repentance ), for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Matthew 4:17
HalleluYah! YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH the El HaAmitti and Chayyei Olam (the true God and eternal life) said: “Tell my people that I died on the cross ✝️ of Calvary so that everyone can live a new life.”
The Holy Writings say, “I heard you at the right time. I helped you on that day to be saved from the punishment of sin. Now is the right time! See! Now is the day to be saved.”
2 Corinthians 6:2
Actually the angels, albeit created by God, were created to have inherent life, in and of themselves.
They were created spirit, they cannot die.
The God of the Jehovah's Witnesses ❤
When I speak to him, I simply call him "father"
You write YHVH and then you say it is YHWH. When you write a Vav you don't call it a w because it is not. The w was put in by German Jews it went with Yiddish and the two were spoken by the German Jews. In Israel they teach YHVH, but no one will say his name because it is forbidden by law. His name is the only name that has never been written with vowels so his name would not be taken in vain. Like people use Jesus' name as a Cuse word which is a sin.
In Hebrew Language there’s no

@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 they have to be baptized to be born again.
I really hope that all Christian will pronounce God's name correctly: Yehowah. Even as all Jews call Him. I pray that Christians stop blaspheming by calling His name Yehowah false, and to stop giving the Father an idol name. In the name of His Son Iesous Christos. Amen. In all truth and grace and mercy.
Hear me out… as a parent do you care how your child says mama or dada? Sounding like satan right now my friend.
YAHAWAH !
yep
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 i think it shows dedication to God. Nowadays babies are baptized but Jesus didn’t get baptized until he started his ministry. Even though he was the Son of God and the savior since forever he still went and got baptized. What would Jesus do ?
Yahweh is NOT even a Hebrew word let alone a Hebrew name...There is also a clue in the names of people in the Bible whose names were made up in part from the names of their gods, referred to as THEOPHORIC NAMES IN THE BIBLE,,,,,,theophoric names are names derived from a god. For example:
False gods: Bel and Nebo: Bel = Belteshazar (Daniel) Nebo = Nebonidus, Nebuchadnezzar,
True God Yeho(vah) ….Yehoyakim, Yehoram, Yehoshua, Yehoshaphat, Yehudah, Yehoash , Jeho-a-haz
The CLUE is in the name. If you really are open minded and really do want to find out the real way to pronounce God's name, then may I suggest that you look into it with an open mind. The Hebrew scholar Nehemiah Gordon will point you in the right direction as he does NOT have a horse in the race, and will prove how the name was NEVER LOST, but rather was hidden !
@@STROND The point of the bible is not to know call Gods real name over and over.. its to know his works. Thats the value of his name. IF YOU ARE NOT DOING HIS JOB the name you use doesnt matter... he wont hear you!!! Those who do his will are heard no matter the language or name.
@@ModalSoul AMEN ! “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

Matthew 22:37-40 KJV
YAHUAH is the fathers name and YAHUSHA is the sons and he came in his fathers name as he said. YAHusha means YAH is salvation.

You dnt kno Biblical Hebrew so you wouldn't understand any explanation
Jah, is GOD's name too look it up!! Jews will not use the letter Yod =10, Hey=5 to make the number 15!!! Because, that would be taking the Name of the Lord in vain! It translates to LORD. You can add vav, and hey if you want but that just means mercy, way!
The Jewish people today are not the Israelites of Scripture Prophecy in Jer 30 and 31.

What makes you say that?

You are WRONG!
Quran (only scripture with 100% accuracy/preservation) says Allah is “Al-Ahad”(one/indivisible).Philosophically, It is impossible for 3 distinct perfections to exist simultaneously. Father (Perfection 1/distinct1) =Son (Perfection 2/distinct2)=idolatry.This is due to addition of two extra perfections that are Co-equal/Co-eternal&distinct with Allah(the most Exalted). Not just the Quran, but also the old/New Testament textually establish tauheed(monotheism). So, then why believe in trinity and associate two imaginary parts to Allah(one/indivisible/Self-Sufficient/All-Loving)? How could your love/worship be undivided/exclusive for Allah(the most Exalted) when there are two other equally unique/perfect entities to adore? The verses of bible used by trinitarians are extremely vague and require hard interpretation to extract the understanding that Father/Son/Holy Ghost are Co-equal/Co-Eternal&distinct.
Biblically, it is accurate for 3 distinct Persons to exist as being one God (Matthew 28:19). You can keep your man-made philosophy.
But Allah is a composite,I'll his 99 names.
@@batteleyyachtlife9957 you can relate to infinite attributes of Allah(one/indivisible perfection). The world is a manifestation of infinite attributes of Allah(the most exalted).However, you cannot attribute the essence of Allah to any other entity. Only Allah can experience his essence. Essence includes perfection, infinity, self-sufficiency and being uncaused etc). Trinity is associating the essence of Allah(the most exalted) to a prophet Jesus(peace be upon him). This is a great injustice to Allah who is absolutely unique and has no equals.
@@kardiognostesministries8150 can you give me a single verse from old/new testament that explicitly establishes Father/son/Holy Spirit are co-equal/co-eternal& distinct. An explicit verse not a vague verse. I will give you an explicit verse that explicitly establishes the central doctrine of Islam: “there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, Muhammad is the slave/messenger of Allah”.
John 17:3 establishes atleast the first part of Islamic central doctrine.
“This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”(John 17:3).
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 The first commandment states:”Hear o Israel, your lord is one”. The only way to salvation is to worship Allah with all of your heart& might. This includes not associating any partners to Allah be that your self(desires) or sons/daughters. Worship is the ultimate expression of love/fear reserved only for Allah. As prophet Jesus(peace be upon him) said:'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
Satan, you are being deceived, the god of the Old Testament is Satan not Jesus!
