What is the name above all names?

Post #1

Post by Wootah »

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
.

What is the name above all names?

You are correct about the first quote. It is against forum rules, for which I take full responsibility for breaking. I’m usually very cautious about not making personal comments about people, and I will make sure to not do it again.

However, I did not call the poster a liar. I said that what he said was an outright lie. It was his/her words I called a lie. I don’t see how that breaks the forum rules.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the name ABOVE all names. The Lord Jesus Christ is YHWH, the great I AM!

Best to challenge reports via pm. Better to move on.

Jesus was given the name above all names by Jehovah, the Father. How could the Father give a name that was greater than His? After all, He is the one giving out names and powers and authorities. We can look at another verse to shed a little sense on this.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12, KJV)

We can see from this that Jesus received a name above the names that MEN have, here on Earth, "under heaven." The Father's own name would not be considered applicable to this fact.

Is that name above the name of YHWH?
Absolutely, and at least until all things are restored.

Another post to show that 'name' doesn't mean Joe or Bob.

Show a scripture that designates "The Father's own name " as being YHWH

What on earth do you think the Father's name would be? Isn't His name in the Old Testament over 7,000 times? If His name is there, why would it suddenly not be used by people? It is shown clearly what Jesus' Father's name is in many places that the two are spoken of together.

Jesus claimed to be the Messiah (John 4:25,26), and he said that he fulfilled Isaiah 61:1,2 (Luke 4:18-21). The scripture in Isaiah :

As written in the Bible translation Young's Literal Translation: "The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands. To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners."

Another place is at Psalm 110, where the Young's Translation rendering is this: "The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord [the Messiah]: 'Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'" This is accredited to Jehovah and Jesus, the Messiah, at Acts 2:34-36 and Luke 20:42-44.

If that's not clear enough, Jesus said that the Father was the "only true God," (John 17:3) so in the verses above they state God's name is Jehovah, and He is of course the Father that Jesus prayed to.

Suppose Wootah is the name above all names and I have that name. Then I give you the name Wootah. Now there are two beings with that name Wootah.

That wasn't so hard.

It's not hard it's TOTALLY unscriptural. Your conjecture must be supported with scripture to have any merit and scripture is very specific, the divine name is not shared.

DEUTERONOMY 6:4

Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is ONE Jehovah.
One Jehovah not two Jehovah's.

EXODUS 6:4

This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation
