Messiah G-d?

People say Messiah is not G-d. Well, what does the Bible say?(Since the Bible is the final authority, not what people say, or what writings about the Bible say.)

In Isaiah 9:6 the prophecy of coming Messiah says "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty G-d, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." This verse is a pretty strong indication that Messiah is G-d since the verse specifically says the Messiah is the mighty G-d and the everlasting Father.

Jeremiah 23:5and 6 states "Behold, the days come, saith the L-RD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth, In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE L_RD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Sounds like Messiah is G-d.

Micah 5:2 "But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been from of old from everlasting." The Messiah G-d is from everlasting.

The One True G-d compared with the Triune G-d

Some people believe Christians worship 3 gods . True believers worship One G-d in Three Persons. This is found in Deuteronomy 6:4 where the word " One" used for G-d is a compound unity.  "Here, O Israel: The L-RD our G-d is one L-RD."   Isaiah 48:16and 17 shows the One True G-d in three persons the L-rd G-d, his Spirit, and me(the L-RD).  "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the L-rd G-d, and his Spirit, hath sent me.  Thus saith the L-RD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the L-RD thy G-d which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go."  The "me" speaking is the Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, The Messiah, G-d himself.

So you see, the Trinity was not started with the Christian believer but was from the beginning of Scriptures, in the Tenach . It is the same doctrine taught today in the New Covenant.

The Gospel in a nutshell

"For G-d so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Goofing off

Well, there was no post this week because I was goofing off with pleasure.  Taking time off to take 4 grandchildren to Chimney Rock, North Carolina.  We had a room in an old cutesie motel that had a balcony overlooking Rocky Broad River and access to the river.  When the grandchildren saw all that water they started shouting," Thank you, Savta."  You see, their other grandmother had them in the water since they were 6 months old and it was so natural to the four of them  to live in the river for the next two days.  We were there to see Chimney Rock by climbing the 500 stairs to get to the top of Chimney Rock and to see Hickory Nut Falls where the remake film of The Last of the Mohicans was filmed.  We did those things and it was beautiful scenery and a lot of exercise but I think if all we did was play in the river they would have been happy.

 Deceptively looking not dangerous river,it was mainly a shallow swift currant and spots deep enough to swim in.
