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?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

No.
Now make post 65 and this post make sense.

You say in post 65 Jesus is the name above all names. Then in this post you say he isn't.
You have to take into consideration who GAVE Jesus the name above all names. (It of course is with the exception of the one who gave it to him.) Jehovah gave him that position and He surely could revoke it if He chose. The name above all names has to be Jehovah. ("That men may know that you, whose name alone is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth." Psalm 83:18, KJV)

Let’s hear your clear and direct answers.
1. Does the God you worship have a body of flesh and bone?

My personal answer is : God is a spirit. (see John 4:24)



2. Who or what is the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

My personal answer is as follows the spirit of God is the breath of God (see Job 33:4)

And what is his Mission? Anything God desires.
PSALM 104:29, 30
...If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust. 30 If you send out your spirit, they are created


MATTHEW 1: 20

Jehovah’s angel appeared to him in a dream, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take your wife Mary home, for what has been conceived in her is by holy spirit
.

What else does [God's spirit]do besides getting Mary pregnant as you claim [based on Matthew 1:20 in the Holy Bible]?

The spirit of God has also made me and keeps me alive.
JOB 33:4

"The Spirit of God has made me The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almightygives me life"
PSALM 104:29
...If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust. ...


3. Do you claim the Jesus Christ is indeed God the Son?

I claim that Jesus is God's Son.
" ... I said, ‘I am God’s Son’" - JESUS CHRIST (John 10:36b)




4. Do you teach the doctrine that no one can be saved and exalted In the kingdom of God without the atonement and resurrection provided by Christ?

Yes. (See John 3:16, 17)

“The princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6, 7)
Ok so that is the name above all names? Above YHWH?

Your belief that there is a name above Jehovah (YHWH ) is unscriptural. I cannot enter into a debate based on your “private interpretations”. If you believe there is a name above absolutely all names (including the name of Jehovah) that belief is yours and I claim no ownership of it. I do not believe there is a a name above absolutely all names. I believe there is a name above all names with the exception of one name, the name of the Supreme one YHWH.

That's right. The name above all names is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18, KJV; John 17:6,26) He is the one who GAVE Jesus the excelling name. Jesus has the name above all names given among men.

I don't think there is a name above YHWH. That has never been my position or something you can reason from my position.

God gave Jesus a name, not a new name as you claimed but an existing name. If it is the name above all names it must already exist.

I don't think this is difficult. If we were in a book club you would not be struggling with the text so much. Let the eisegesis go.

Do you think the Bible is the word of God and is true and that 2 phil 9 is true?

Why is God willing to give Jesus the name above all names but you are not?
