ArchivedJesuss Deity...Greetings Omega
These differences in cases generally correspond to 3 (actually 4) different Hebrew words i.e.
This word is adoni - generally appears in our Bibles as my lord Please note: This word is NEVER used in ref. to Almighty GOD - NEVER! It is solely used to refer to human lords, and occasionally angels. In all of its 195 occurrences, this Hebrew word is used to differentiate human (and angelic) lords from the LORD GOD! When the LORD GOD is being referred to as 'My Lord', solely Adonai is used. Therefore Omega, in the OT scriptures that you quoted, 2 different Hebrew words are being used ... Correspond to ... (Deu 6:4) Hear, O Israel: YAHWEH our God is one YAHWEH: (or YAHWEH is one) (Isa 43:11) I, even I, am YAHWEH; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isa 43:15) I am YAHWEH, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. (Zec 14:9) And YAHWEH shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one YAHWEH, and his name one. As you can see in each of the above cases, the title 'Lord' is not being used - NO! It is GOD's name that is being used NOT His title! Now Psalms 110:1 ... Sadly, the KJV translators were inconsistent with their typefacing - they capitalized the second word 'lord' giving the reader the initial impression that the verse is saying YAHWEH said unto [my] Adonai However, the truth of the matter is that the second word is NOT Adonai - it is in fact, adoni A few bibles (such as RV, RSV, NRSV) have corrected this, since it should read The LORD said unto my lord (no capital 'L') i.e. YAHWEH said unto adoni The implications are:
In fulfillment of Psalms 110:1, Almighty GOD highly exalted Jesus and made him both Lord & Christ, Lord of all!! [Acts 2:36, 10:36] GOD has placed all things under his feet! However ... (1 Cor 15:27-28 ) For he [GOD] hath put all things under his [the man Christ Jesus'] feet. But when he [GOD] saith all things are put under him [the man Christ Jesus], it is manifest [IT IS OBVIOUS, IT IS CLEAR] that he [GOD] is excepted [NOT INCLUDED, ALMIGHTY GOD IS EXEMPT, EXCLUDED] which did put all things under him [the man Christ Jesus]. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him [the man Christ Jesus], then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him [GOD] that put all things under him [the Son], that God may be all in all. That is ... no matter how highly GOD has exalted Jesus His Son, the Lord Messiah; by definition GOD will always be greater than him, because GOD is ... GOD!! GOD will always be Jesus' GOD [John 20:17, Rev 3:12, etc] GOD will always be Jesus' Lord! GOD will always be the Supreme Lord - the LORD GOD - Adonai YAHWEH Therefore, in answer to your question, how can there be a Lord higher than Jesus if He is called Lord of Lords? The answer is ... GOD is GOD and cannot be subject nor equal to anyone else, seeing that there is solely ONE GOD, the Father, namely YAHWEH. Therefore it is obvious, it goes without saying that GOD will always be higher than Jesus irrespective of how high He exalts him; and therefore, GOD will always be Lord over the Lord Jesus! The title 'Lord of all' does does NOT include GOD. GOD has made Jesus, Lord of all, however GOD is NOT subject to anyone, including Jesus. It is clearly the other way round [1 Cor 15:27-28, John 10:29, 14:28] (1 Cor 8:4-6) As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Jesus the Messiah, our Rabbi, our Lord & Master did not teach a new theology. He stood by the Sh'ma [Deut 6:4 - see Mark 12:28-34]. There is still solely ONE GOD - NOTHING HAS CHANGED This ONE GOD is the Father, who is the GOD & FATHER of our Lord (adoni) Jesus the Messiah [2 Cor 11:31, Eph 1:3, 17; Col 1:3, 1 Pet 1:3, Rom 15:6, 2 Cor 1:3, Eph 3:14] This ONE GOD via the prophets and OT scriptures promised that He would make solely ONE MAN of David's lineage to be 'the lord' (adoni) who would sit at His Right Hand until the day that He makes his enemies his footstool; that descendant of David, that 'lord' is Jesus of Nazareth. He is the adoni spoken of in Psalms 110:1. Hence this verse was used by both Jesus and his apostles to define 'who Jesus is' (quoted 23 times in the NT). He is therefore the 'One Lord' spoken of in 1 Cor 8:6, Eph 4:5. There is therefore ONE GOD, the Father, namely YAHWEH and there is ONE Lord, the Lord Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of David, the Son of the Father. Hope the above post helps ... |
