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.

So, Jesus doesn't have the name above all names for you?
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.
OK well at least you admit it and don't drag things out. Eisegesis is OK by you.

Where does the Bible say Jesus has the highest name given among men?

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.
I don't think there is a name above YHWH. ...
Well then we must be in agreement, there doesn't exist an a name above absolutely all names (since Jehovah is a name and there can be no name above THAT name). So, unless you are arguing "above all" means Jesus was given a name above "all" INCLUDING above Jehovah (YHWH), you must be claiming that Jesus was given a name that is above all names with one exception of the name YHWH.

There is no third option. Jesus was given a name above *ALL* names (including above the name of Jehovah/YHWH) or Jesus was given the name that is above all names with the exception of the name of Jehovah: what other options can exist?

Even Jehovah doesnt have a name above Jehovah.


Logic,


JW

Suppose I had 10 bricks stacked on top of each other and I gave you the brick above all other bricks which brick would you get?

Then Jesus couldnt have been given a name above absolutely all names because then his given name would be above Jehovah's name, agreed?

JW Bible Phil 2:9 For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,
In my words: God kindly gave Jesus the name (not a new name, not another name, but the existing name) that is above every other name.

In the stack on 10 bricks, if you take the top brick, it exists already.

Now say that in your own words.

In my words: God kindly gave Jesus the name ... that is above every other name.



Ok, so you have added for clarity the word "OTHER" . So the word "other" (added by you ) indicates Christ was given a name higher than every name except the highest name. Agreed?

This is the jw bible taken online:
For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position+ and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name

It uses other. 🤪

Edit
The brick above every other brick. If you take the brick on top of every other brick
What brick did you take?
