A Comparison of Yahweh and Jesus'

In view of the fact that numerous Biblical names, titles, and attributes of Yahweh
are also the names, titles, and attributes of Jesus, what do these many Scriptures
tell you about Jesus' true identity?

------------------------------
1) Does the fact that the word "Theocracy" is not in the Bible rule out the possibility
that it is a biblical concept? Yes, or No?

2) Does the fact that the word "Jehovah" is not found in any legitimate Hebrew or
Greek manuscript of the Bible rule out the possibility that it is a biblical concept?
Yes, or No?

3) To be fair and consistent, then, does the fact that the word "Trinity" is not in the
Bible rule out the possibility that it is a biblical concept? Yes, or No?

4) To be fair and consistent, then, does the fact that the phrase "spiritual death" is
not in the Bible rule out the possibility that it is a biblical concept? Yes, or No?

5) Did you know that pagans taught the concept of a great flood that killed
humanity, and the concept of a messiah-figure named Tammuz who was allegedly
resurrected? Yes, or No?

6)Are the biblical doctines of the flood and a resurrected Messiah false simply
because pagans taught remotely similar accounts long ago? Yes, or No?

A seventh good question that needs to be answered by anyone espousing these


fallacies, is the one from Christian apologist and scholar Dr. James White, who asks,

7) "If I believe everything the Bible says about topic X and use a term not found in
the Bible to describe the full teaching of Scripture on that point, am I not being
more truthful to the Word than someone who limits themselves to only biblical
terms, but rejects some aspect of God's revelation?"
