What was the expectation of people before the advent of Jesus?

      

What was the expectation of the people about the advent of Jesus? Whether
they were in expectation of the Christ (Messiah) or God himself? What was mentioned
in the verse? And what did the woman say in the above verse? She did not
say "Messiah cometh which is called God". And observe the warning of Jesus in
the following.

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not taht I am he, ye shall die in your sins. -John 8:24

      Jesus proclaims in the above I said therefore unto you that ye shall die in your
sins if you do not believe me as I am he which stands for I am The Christ. This
means the actual status of Jesus was the Christ means he had been appointed by
God. If any imagine about his status more than what he was, for example if they
exalt him to the status of God or degrade his statusless than the Christ, it can be
termed as the great sin for them, and eventually such people, who imagine Jesus in
these two wrong ways, shall die in their sins, and the wages of sin is death which
is a well know exhortation to all. It means Jews, who did not agree Jesus as Christ
would die in their sins so also if christians equalize the status of Jesus with Jehovah
then they also shall die in their sins. Therefore if one wants to attain the salvatin
through Jesus one should mend one's beliefs as propounded by him and should
believe in accordance with the prophecy as Jesus is the Christ. So God may
bestow such knowledge to all of us. Ameen.

Who are the wise persons?

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and
doeth them I will liken unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock -Matthew 7:24

Who are the foolish persons?

And every man that hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built
his house upon the sand -Matthew 7:26

What information can be extracted from made analysis sofar?

According to the analysis made sofar we understand that even if there are
many so-called gods one should believe Jehovah as the true and Almighty and
worthy of worship and believe always that only one Jehovah is capable to do
anything and he will reward one's prayers and also believe Jesus as a mediator
and as the Christ, then only one can be regarded as the wise person. That is why
the disciples of Jesus had such belief as above and preached accordingly. And
Jesus himself warns them, who follow contrary to the above teachings as the
foolish persons. So this is our aspitarion that every one should examine carefully
the above points and become wise persons as suggested by Jesus.

“I am he” ... means Who is he in reality?

If one ask to any Christian as who is Jesus in reality? Immidiatly he answers
unhesitatingly as Jesus is God. As a matter of fact, we can not find in all his
teachings to have said that he himself is God. However inorder to prove the
divinity of Jesus our Christian scholars generally use one of the prominant words
of Jesus that I AM HE. For example observe the following verse.

I said therefore unto you that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins -John 8:24

Now I tell you before it come that when it is come to pass
ye may believe the I am he -John 13:19

Jesus himself says in the above passages 'I AM HE'. But our Christian scholars
takes the meaning of this word as Jesus to have diclared that he himself was
Jehovah. If we study carefully the context of the above verses we can understand
obviously what the words I AM HE. Actually mean to convay as. If any verse or
part there of is removed from the context, it can be easily moulded to serve their
purpose and this is what church has done to prove the divinity of Jesus taking the
bits of clauses such as I AM HE. If any interpret these words which are spoken
by Jesus I AM HE, to mean as JEHOVAH only such people belive this type of
interpretatins, who do not have the correct Biblical knowledge. Because Bible
gives the clear answers as regards to who God is. However let us take the meaning
of the words for a while 'I am he' as I am Jehovah, then what is the interpretation
of our scholars for the following verse?

And Jesus answering them began to say, take heed lest any
men deceive you for many shall come in my name, saying I
am Christ; and shall diceive many -Mark 13:5

From the above verse one can notice that Jesus to have told that the people
would preach the word 'I am he' as to mean that I my self is Jehovah. It is completly
a deciteful preaching and Jesus warns that they would come in his name. So who
are those persons who are comming in the name of Jesus and propagating in these
days as Jesus is Jehovah? Are not they Christians? If truly the meaning of I AM
HE is I AM JEHOVAH, then why does Jesus declare in the above verses such
propagations as are deceitful? Therefore if one examine the above verse carefully
one can understand that Jesus did not say the word I AM HE to mean in the
sense of I AM JEHOVAH. The following verse also proves this fact.

Then said Jesus unto them, when ye have lifted up the son
of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do
nothing of my self; by as my Father hath taught me, I speak
these things. -John 8:28

On careful perusal of the above verse it becomes clear that Jesus did not say
the word, IAM HE in the meaning of 'I AM JEHOVAH'. Because Jesus says
himself "I do nothing of my own self: except as my father hath taught me, I speak
these things", it means Jesus makes clear himself that God is distinct from him.
However there remains the questian as to whom the words ‘I am he’ are applicable
to? Observe the following.

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ; when he is come he will tell us all
things... -John 4:25

On examination of the above verse we understand that the people were in
expectation of the advent of Christ (Messiah). Now observe in the following verse
what Jesus says in this regard

Jesus saith unto her. I that speak unto thee am he-John 4:26

According to the above verse one can understand crystal clearly the appropriate
meaning of the words I AM HE are applicable to Jesus to mean as Christ.
Thus the Bible discloses the reality of Jesus, yet many christians are confounded
regarding the reality of Jesus and in the message of Bible.

To whom the people prayed in the times of New Testament?

To whom Jesus had prayed? 

And saith unto them my soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here and watch. And he weat forward a little, and fell on the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. And he said Abba, possible the hour might pass from him. And he said Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but thou wilt. cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but thou wilt. -Mark 14:34:36

        According to the above verse one can notice obviously that Jesus himself had been praying to the Almighty Jehovah to whom the all prophets had been praying right from the beginning. Therefore Jesus had prayed only Jehovah. Now let us see to whom he ordered to pray to his disciples in the following passage.

And it came to pass, that, as he [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, when ye pray, say Our disciples. And he said unto them, when ye pray, say Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth. kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also for give every one that is indebted to us. sins; for we also for give every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not in to temptation: but deliver us from evil. And lead us not in to temptation: but deliver us from evil. -Luke 11:1-4

       In the above prayer Jesus has explained some important basic points to them, those who want to attain the salvation through him. The first point of them is that he orders clearly that one should pray only one Jehovah and secondly he says that 'Hollowed be thy name'. The meaning in clear terms of this prayer is 'save us from the curruption of the polythism. Therefore one should recognise and believe Jehovah as the Almighty One. And the third point is that "Thy kingdom come" this means as saying "bestow the ability and good fortune upon us in order to make the righteous, moral and fruitful society. And fourth point is that the prayer for daily bread" instead of the peaceless accumulation of the worldly wealth gant us content ment with what you provide us and fifth point is that- "Forgive us our sins as we are forgiving our indebters ". And the sixth point is that "And lead us not into temptation" it means "we are unable to bear the hard temptations" so protect us from satanic influences. In this way Jesus commands to his disciples to pray only Jehovah. Because Jesus had the firm belief in Jehovah just as the former prophets, that only one Jehovah is the capable to answer our every prayer. That is why he ordered to his disciples that they should also have the same belief.

Who shall reward for our prayers? 

But thou, when thou prayest enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. thee openly. -Matthew 6:6

We understand from the above verse that one, who is the real follower of Jesus, should always regard Jehovah only as his acceptor of his prayers.

Why should we regard only Jehovah?

    And why alone he can reward us? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord. the Lord. -Jeremeiah 23:24

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 

If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there -Psalms 139:7-8 

To whom the people of Church prayed after Jesus? Peter therefore was kept in prison; but pryer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. -Acts 12:5 

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. -Acts 16:25 

If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally. all men liberally. -James 1:5

       The present day christians, misconception is that the believers, who were living in the time before to Jesus, had been praying Jehovah for their needs, but after the comming of Jesus, all believers should pray Jesus. But on contrary to their imagination we can see from the above verses that the disciples of Jesus and even Paul also prayed only one Jehovah after the time of Jesus.

Who is the worthy of praise?

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised.
-Psalms 96:4

This is to mean that only one Jehovah is the worthy of praise above all gods
and remaining gods are not deserving to be praised.

Why should one praise only Jehovah?

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised and his greatness
is unsearchable. -Psalms 145:3

Why not the other gods worthy of worship?

...Worship him, all ye gods -Psalms 97:7

As a matter of fact we cannot find a small instance in throughout the Bible that
the prophets, holy persons and judges who were the so-called gods, to have
ordered their people that they should worship them. But they have ordered that
they should worship only one Jehovah. If this be the case how can the others
become worthy of worship except one Jehovah?

Why this greatness is reserved for him only?

1. The Almighty God

And God spake unto Moses and said unto him I am the
Lord and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto
Jacob, by the name of God Almighty -Exodus 6:2-3

This is to mean as saying that except one Jehovah remaining all gods are not
as capable as Jehovah; Even if they possess any power to perform any miracle it
also had been given by God but they did not have the self acquired power.

There is none like him.
2. The proclamation of Jehovah:

I am God and ther is none like me. -Isaiah 46:9

To whom will ye liken me and make me equal and compare
me that we may be like? -Isaiah 46:5

The proclamation of Prophets:

There is no God like thee. -I Kings 8:23

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye
compare unto him? -Isaiah 40:18

Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God; for there is none
like thee, neither is there any god beside thee.
-2 Samuel 7:22

On examination of the above references it is evident that only one Jehovah is
worthy of worship and praises because He is not just as the so-called gods. That
is why He himself questions that who are equel with ?Him and like Him? and the
prophets who are the so-called gods, made clear that only one Jehovah is the
great God and there is none like Him and non is equal to Him. So in no way can
we imagine any one of them as superior as Jehovah and hence we should recognise
Him alone as superior One, above all of them and worship Him only.

Who is the great God?

The proclamation of so-called gods:
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised and his greatness
is unsearchable. -Psalms 145:3

For the Lord your God is God of gods...-Deuteronomy 10:17

Thou shalt not be affrighted at them for the Lord thy God
is among you a mighty God and terrible.-deuteronomy 7:21

Who is so great a God as our God! -Psalms 77:13

The proclamation of Jesus:

And ye shall be the children of the highest. -Luke 6:35

My Father, which gave them me is greater than all.
-John 10:29

For my Father is greater than all. -John 14:28

The proclamation of Paul:

One God and Father of all who is above all...
-Ephesians 4:6

All these attributes such as have been mentioned in the above verses viz.
‘Great’, ‘highest’, ‘Almighty’, ‘God of gods’ and ‘above all’ are referred to which
God? Undoubtedly they are meant only for Jehovah but to none else. Therefore
keeping in view of these all charecterestic features one can understand obviously
that one should not declare to any other as the true God except one Jehovah.
What type of belief a devotee should

proclaim towards Jehovah?

Lord God of Israel there is no God like thee in heaven
above or on earth beneath... -I kings 8:23

Is not Jehovah the God in both
old and new Testaments?

Before me there was no God formed neither shall there be
after me -Isaiah 43:10

This means Jehovah is the only God in all ages both of past, presant and
future. Observe the holy statements as regards to this in the following.

Hast thou not know? hast thou not heard that the everlasting
God the Lord the Creator of the ends of the earth...-Isaiah 40:28

From the above one can notice distinctly that only one Jehovah has reserved
the special attribute for Him that He is the only 'everlasting God', it means rest are
all only temporary gods who survaive on the mercy of God as submissive servants.
So the wise persons always depend only on the everlasting God.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever I for in the Lord Jehovah is
everlasting strength -Isaiah 26:4

This is to mean that apart from one Jehovah we should not trust in any one as
God in any age because only Jehovah is the God in all ages.

To whom should one pray?

The prayer of Abraham:
And Abraham planted a grove in beer-sheba and called there
on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God -Genesis 21:33

The above event had taken place in the times of old Testament, wherein
Abraham prayed only Jehovah. Right from the time of Abraham to whom the all
prophets and holy persons and all believers had been praying? To know the answer
for this question observe the following references from Bible.

Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly. -Johah 2:1

And he went out from Pharaoh and intreated the Lord. -Exodus 10:18

Thus we can find the people of old Testament to have prayed only Jehovah.

The unity of Jehovah and Jesus: whether in their physique or opinions?

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them:
that they (the disciples) may be one even as we (Jehovah-
Jesus) are one -John 17:22

    If we pay heed on the above statement of Jesus it becomes perceivable that
what is the reality of the unity, between Jehovah and Jesus. In the above verse
some important points come into light, the first point of them is that Jesus makes
clear “they (disciples) may be one even as we (Jehovah- Jesus) are one”. This
shows the view of Jesus that how should be the unity among his disciples. Jesus
wishes that the disciples should maintain as firm unity as how he had with Jehovah.
And the second point is that the expected unity of disciples whether in their physique
or opinions. To know this pay attention again on the above statement. Jesus
says clearly that 'As we are one', the meaning of which in a nutshell is that the
aspiration of Jesus was that the unity what he had with Jehovah was the same
unity he had expected with in his disciples too. Now the question come whether
Jesus had the unity with Johavah in the physique or in opinions. It is known fact
that they were two distinct persons just as the disciples were distinctly different
from each other. But Jehovah and Jesus were same in the openions. So also he
expected the same unity among the disciples in their openions, just as he had with
Jehovah.

According to the Bible how many Gods are there?

According to the advanced scientific knowledge the man is capable to discover
many truths of the hidden secrets. Thereby a lot of difficult problems are
salved so easily. To be frank, clarity is necessary in every point whithout which
one cannot go ahead on any work. And without certainty in one’s own work there
remains only the confusion. If one perform any task or duty with this confusion
one can not become succesful in acquiring them to one’s own expectations. The
prevelent religious sector is a good example for this. On one hand worship and
meditations are flourishing day by day. And the spiritual meetings and descussions
and sermous are growing abundantly. Yet the peace and moral values are not
found to the expectant end. In the religious field the basic and chief person is God.
One should realize him in the perspective why as according to the exhortations of
scriptures. With a marginal exception of people, every one has failed in this premier
principle of religious status. When asked about God, we get different
ambignous answers from the people of the same comnunity.

For example we can find a wide divergence in the beliefs of present day
christian community. If we ask them as, ‘who is your God?’ Some answer to this
question as Jehovah is our God and some say Jesus is our God and while some
reply as the triune God and so on. Does the Holy Bible provide this kind of wide
divergence and irrelevance in the belief of God? The answer of Bible is unequivovally
‘no’. As a matter of fact the Holy Bible is a law and provides only such things as
are basing on the logical reasoning which cannot be rebutted. On the reason of so
many translations from the ancient languages some mistakes might have happenend
in the Bible. However the basic points still prevail intact in its real form. If one pay
heed in between the lines of Bible with logic without prejudiced mind, one can
notice conspicuously the real concept of God.

Are there many Gods?

If we ask any Christian as how many Gods are there? Generally he answers-
‘There is only one God’. But if we pay attention carefully in the study of Bible we
can find there are many gods. Observe the following verses.

And the Lord said unto Moses, see I have made thee a God
to Pharaoh... -Exodus 7:1

And he shall be they spokesman unto the people: and he
shall be even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth and
thou shalt be to him instead of God. -Exodus 4:16

According to the above verses one can notice that Jehovah himself appointed
Moses as god.

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth
among the Gods -Psalms 82:1

I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
most high -Psalms 82:6

In the above verses Jehovah himself reveals the existance of somany gods.
Jesus answered them is it not written in your law I said ye
are Gods? If he called them gods unto whom the word of
God came and the scripture cannot be broken. -John 10:34-35

From the above statement of Jesus it can be well ascertained that all the holy
prophets, who had been given the commandment of God are called as gods. For
example we can observe in the old Testament that there are many prophets who
had been given the commandment by Jehovah.

Is devil also a God?

In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not... -II Corinthians 4:4

According to this verse the Devil also can be regarded as god. Therefore the Holy Bible introduces many gods besides Jehovah.

Who is the real God?

The Lord God of Gods, the Lord God of Gods -Joshua 22:22

From the above verse it is obvious that eventhough there are many gods, but
the true and transcendental God is only one Jehovah and remaining all are only the
so called Gods.

Who is the true God?

But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God and an
everlasting king. -Jermiah 10:10

Only Jehovah is God!
know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us.
-Psalms 100:3

The mighty God!

...for the Lord thy God is among you a mighty God and
terrible -deuteronomy 7:21

Therefore except the Almighty Jehovah rest are only the so-called gods but
the mighty, great and true God is only Jehovah.

To which God should we give thanks?

O give thanks unto the God of gods for his mercy endureth
forever -Psalm 136:2

According to the above verse we understand that only one Jehovah is worthy
of praise and the order is enjoined upon the so-called gods that they should give
thanks to Jehovah, who is the God of gods.

Did Jesus become equal with God after his ascension?

According to the doctrine of Paul Jesus was equal to Jehovah before his
comming in to this world. Let us for a while believe that Jesus had descended with
the empty hands leaving all his divine powers therein and made himself of no
reputetion. If this be the case, after his ascention he shold have become equal to
Jehovah! Because Jesus who was as equal as Jehovah in the heaven before his
descent in this world in the human form in order to live among the human beings
for a period of time, but after his ascension he shold have become equal to Jehovah.
Here the question comes that whether he really became equal with God after
his ascension. To know this let us pay attention on the following passage.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with
her sons, worshipping him and desiring a certain thing of
him. And he said unto her. What wilt thou? She saith unto
him, grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy
right hand and the other on the left in thy kingdom.
-Matthew 20:20-21

      In the above situation , the mother of immidiate disciples of Jesus, submitted her
request to Jesus. What was her request? That to allow her both sons to sit one on
his right side and the other on the left side of Jesus in his kingdom. Let us see what
Jesus replies to her in this regard.

But Jesus answered and said, ye know not what ye ask. Are
ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They
say unto him, we are able -Matthew 20:22

      In the above verse Jesus says that her request is not an ordinary or easy to be
granted. Jesus questioned her "whether they could drink of cup" This is to mean
as saying that "Are you ready to sacrifise every thing your self in the way of God?"
it means even if one wants to sit at the side of Jesus one should be able to sacrifise
one's life whole heartedly in the way of God. Further the disciples assured Jesus
that they were ready to undertake the great task. Having heard them saying thus,
Jesus answers as follows.

And he saith unto them ye shall drink in deed of my cup,
and be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with,;
but to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to
give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared
of my father -Matthew 20 23

      In the former verse disciples assured Jesus that they were able and ready to
accomplish the condition of Jesus. However, what Jesus says in the above is that
it shall be given only them for whom it was prepared by his father. As a matter of
fact this helplessness of Jesus was reasonable if it were the case relating to the
present world as he gave up his all divine powers in the heaven and came down
with the empty hands and made himself of no reputation. But here the noticeable
point is that her request was not relating to this world but she asked Jesus to
accomplish her request in his kingdom of heaven where he should have aquired all
his divine powers which he left before his comming into this world if he were really
as powerful as Jehovah himself. As according to Paul if Jesus were really equal to
Jehovah he could not have expressed his helplessness in granting them the permission
to sit by his either side.

      Therefore according to the analysis made so far it became crystal clear that
Jesus would not become equal to Jehovah in the heaven after his ascension. If he
were equal to Jehovah he should have possessed the right of taking every descision
by his own self just as Jehovah does. But he himself makes clear that he has no
any self authority to make the self descisions in the heaven. So from these points
we can to understand that just as he lived in this world without any reputation so
also he will be in the kingdom of heaven with no reputation.

      Now let us agree for a while that Jesus is equal to Jehovah in the heaven who
came in to this world with no repatation and also lived in the heaven with no
reputation after his ascension. Yet there remains one point which helps to estimate
his iniquating with God even before his coming in to this world. To know this in
clear terms let us obsere the following verse.

Behold, my servent whom I uphold -Isahiah 42:1

      Jehovah himself speaks the above words through prophet Isaiah. To whom
He reffered as His servent? All christian scholars unanimously agree that this is
said about Jesus. When was it proclamed? Hundreds of years ago before Jesus'
coming in to this world. Where was he then? He was in the heaven.

     According to the statement of Paul if truly Jesus were equal to Jehovah then
could ever He (Jehovah) proclaimed that His co-equal associate as 'His servent?'.
It is against to the proprieties of ethical values. Let us see in the other way. Jehovah
declared about Jesus as 'His servent' by virtue of being their close relation as
co-equals with each other. If it were true then Jesus also should have possessed
the same right to call Jehovah as 'his servent...!' But was it happend any where?
No. Therfore according to the analysis sofar made in the different ways we come
to conclude that Jesus never made any doctrine about himself as co-equal with
God, as propounded by Paul. Therefore those who follow the true way of the
Bible as propounded by Jesus, the kindom of heaven will be reserved for them
only. The Almighty God may bestow the blessing and wisdom to lead our life in
accordance with the teachings of Jesus. Ameen.

3. He made himself of no reputation...!

         

         Human as he was, Jesus was born as a comman human being. So he was not beyond the human weeknesses and needs just as a common man... such as eating, feeling of thirst, exhaustion, sleeping and succumbed to the daily needs. And he prayed God Jehovah, who is in the heaven, to save him from the ignominious death on cross and he used to work miracles or wonders only after praying God and he ordered his disciples that they should always pray the heavenly Father (Jehovah). Further he makes clear that only the Creator God shall reward them (Matthew 6:6). Therefore according to these all attitudes and actions it can be well proved that he was no more than a common human being. And he never proclaimed about him any where in all of his teachings that he was a God, then how is it possible to believe his person in the capacity of God? Contrary to this our Christian sholars generally show the following verse in vain to prove his divinity.

Who being in the form of God thought it not robberry to be equal with God; But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servent and was made in the likeness of men -Philippians 2:6-7

          According to the above verse our Christian scholars try to explain the point that though really Jesus was (is) the Almighty God, he gave up his all divine powers in the heaven and he came in this world with empty hands and made himself of no reputation. Those that do not have the proper understanding of the Bible and who do not think in logical way they misunderstand the above verse. But those who are having the minimum knowledge of the Bible they may ask the following questions, for which those that believe Jesus as God should give the answers.


 1. Whose narration is this?

 1. Did Jesus himself say anywhere in all his teachings that he gave up his all divine powers in the heaven and came in to this world with empty hands?

Answer : No, we cannot find such statements as to have been preached by Jesus in his ministry.

(OR) 

2. Did Jehovah reveal about Jesus like that?

Ans: No, Jehovah did not say anywhere from the Book of Genesis to Malachi. The doctrine of Jesus’ incarnation has been invented by Paul. What right that paul had to intervene in the teachings of Jesus? Jesus has shown the correct way as how one can attain the salvation? In this regard the question comes whether paul or any others have any chance to preach beyond the limits of the teahings of Jesus. What is the answer of your self conscience to this question? Our self conscience answers for this question that we should obey strictly to the teachings of Jesus and should not preach in contarary way, and neither a word be added nor be removed. If we dare to do so it can be termed as a great sin. Now let us observe the first point whether Jesus is equal to Jehovah in reality? In this regard let us directly ask to Jesus himself instead of asking to others.

Jesus...
...for my Father is greater than I -John 14:28

       After the above crystal clear proclamation of Jesus if anybody try to keep Jesus on par with Jehovah, can there be any greater transgression? Therefore if one proclaims "I do not believe Jesus as the Christ or Messiah" then it can be regarded as the direct rejection of Jesus or if any proclaim "I believe Jesus as God" then also it can be termed as the indirect rejection of Jesus. If the rejection be in direct perspective or indirect, under these two attitudes it is no more than complete rejection of Jesus. In such case is there any chance to get the salvation to those that reject Jesus either by direct means or indirect?

      On the other hand let us see whether Jehovah has revealed anywhere that there is one person who is equal to him. But we can not find any where such statements in the revelations of Jehovah. Contrary to this we can find the clear statement of Jehovah as follows.


Jehovah...
I am God there is none like me -Isaiah 46:9

      Inspite of clear exhortation of Jehovah as above; if anybody is having the opinion that Jesus is equal to Jehovah, it is a sheer contradiction to the revelation of God. Those who are having the contrary beliefs to the teachings of Jesus and God, should decide themselves whether they go to the eternal life or hell. If we ask ourselves whether it is so serious a matter that effects our eternal life, we can ascertain its proper answer from the following Jesus’ saying.

He that rejecth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day -John 12:48

      As a matter of fact sucess on the day of judgment is the real success of every believer. Because on the final judgment, God will decide the destiny of every one. And according to the above verse whose word shall be taken in to the consideration ? means basing on whose word God will give the final judgment to the believers? To this question Jesus makes clear in the above 'The word that he has spoken, the same shall judge on a self in the last day'. Therefore according to this 3 4 warning of Jesus every believer should always examine carefully whether his beliefe is in accordance with the word of Jesus or should follow others. According to Jesus God is greater than him. But some Christian brothers argue that Jesus and Jehovah both are equal...? But our firm belief is that if one wants to attain the kingdom of God they should believe and act according to the word of Jesus. Contrary to this whosoever speaks against the word of Jesus and that who follow in accordance with their fictitious way definitely go to the eternal hell, and it is certain, if you find us having contrary belict to that of Jesus’ teachings you are requested to recorrect us. If you ask us why you believe only the word of Jesus as true? then Jesus answers to this questin on behalf of us in the following Biblical verse.

       For I have not spoken of my self; but the father which sent For I have not spoken of my self; but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment wht I should say and what me, he gave me a commandment wht I should say and what I should speak - -John 12:49

      As according to the above exhortation of Jesus one can notice conspicuously that there is no any deceit or selfishness in the nature of Jesus. This is why the prophecy says about him "neither was any deceit in his mouth" (Isaiah 53:9).

    Therefore can anybody believe confirmly that Paul also having the equal sacredness and reputation just as Jesus? No, because Jesus never preached anywhere of his own words in his whole ministry except that of what he had been enjoined upon him. Thus he has fulfilled his duty whole heartedly. So those who want to become true christians they should mend their beliefs as propounded by Jesus. In the above verse Jesus makes clear that he has spoken only according to the commandment of Father. And Jehovah declares himself clearly that there is in one like himself (Isaiah 46:9). In accordance to this revelation of God, Jesus proclaimes openly regarding the suprimacy of God that his Father is greater than him (John 14:25). And again Jesus exhorts in clear terms that his Father is greater than all (John 10:29). Thus we can find that all teahcings of Jesus are corroborating in comparision with the words of Jehovah. Therefore one should believe and obey only the teachings of Jesus. And if anybody however great person one may be, preaches contrary to the teachings of Jesus we should reject him.

     As according to the discussion made so far it is made known that in the view of Paul, both Jesus and Jehovah are equal. But the former one says that there is none like him and the later one confirmining the Jehovah's word says that his Father is greater than him. So those who want to attain the everlasting life without coming into the judgement they should believe and obey to the clear exhortations of Jesus as Jehovah is greater than all. Why should we believe so? The answer is given by Jesus in the following.

     He that rejecteth me, and recieveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the dord that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. shall judge him in the last day. -John 14:48

    At the time of judgement basing on whose word God will give the final judgement? Jesus gave the answer in the above that basing on the words, which he spoke the judgement will be given to his followers by God in the last day. This is to mean as saying that the final judgement will not be given basing on the doctrins of Paul or of any others. Therefore those who want to attian the salvation through Jesus their beliefs and acts should be in accordance with the word of Jesus. As a result he will be given the favourable judgement by God. But, on contrary to this those who follow in accordance with the others, fictitous ways undoubtedly they will become liable for the eternal chastisements of God. However let us examine the statement of Paul in an another way

How long does Jehovah be praised?

One of the points which are used contrary to the God's word in the present
day Gospel preaching is that the time of Jehovah and the time of son and the time
of Holy Ghost. But this classificatin is not found any where in the Bible. This
means it is nothing but the speculation. Some preachers say that Jehovah was
praised in His period of time, in the time of Jesus he was praised. Then according
to their preaching they should praise only the Holy Ghost, as the time of Jesus is
over. Now let us see that how many years are there in the period of Jehovah.

Behold, God is great and we know him not, neither can the
number of his years be searched out. -Job 36:26

In the above passage it is mentioned about the span of time of the Creator
Jehovah. What is that time? Past or future or the present? Observe the answer from the above passage ‘we know him not, neither can the number of His years
be searched out’. This is to mean that His being is beyond limitations of time and
space means His time is incalculable. Therefore how far it is correct to calculate
the time of the Creator? Ponder over this. That is why the above verse is started
saying as 'Behold'. In this regard, the Bible discloses that how long does He be
praised in the following vese.

But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for
evermore. Praise the Lord. -Psalms 115:18

            The above verse discloses the duration of time of Jehovah's praise. How long
is it? IT IS EVER MORE (forever). Therefore according to the above verse we
understand that only one Jehovah is being praised without the limitations of time.
The invariable proclamation of Bible?

           The Holy Bible has the thousands of years historical evidence and it bears,
somany evidences to prove that this Book is a truthful one. One of the evidences
of them is that - According to the so far analysis it is made clear that only one
Jehovah is the worthy of praise forever. In case of any false information is found in
the Bible then the above proclamation should have been in another way. And it
can be seen in the following verses that only one Jehovah is being praised in the
New Testament also.

To whom Jesus praises?

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them
unto babes. -Matthew 11:25

And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou hast heard me. -John 11:41

         The fact which has been explained by Jesus is- the God who had been praised
in the old Teatament, the same has been praised in the New Testament as well to
say in another way, in the trinue of Jesus as is the speculation of church. And a
great person like Jesus himself praises Jehovah. In case if Jesus is the incarnation
of Jehovah then why did he pray to another one?

To whom the early apostles had praised?

         The apostles had taken the responsibility of the great task of Gospel preaching
after Jesus. The question is that to whom they praised? Whether to Jesus or
Jehovah. In actual fact we can not find a small instance in throughout Bible as the
apostles of Jesus or Paul had praised Jesus in the sence of God.
Importantly to whom Paul had praised? To know the answer for this question
observe the following verse.

Cease no to give thanks for you making mention of you in
my prayer that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ...
-Ephesians 1:16

        According to the above verse we understand clearly that the early apostles
and Paul also had praised only God Jehovah. And let us see what is the belief of
John, who is one of the chief disciples of Jesus, with reference to this matter.

And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on
their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God. Saying
we give thee thanks O Lord God Alinghty which art
and wast and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee
thy great power, and hast reigned -Revelation 11:16-17

        According to the above verse we understand clearly that only one Jehovah
was praised in the time of Jesus and before the time of Jesus and after Jesus. This
means only one Jehovah is worthy of praise in the past, present and future times.
If this be the truth, the preaching that the Father was praised in His time and the son was praised in his time and the Holy Ghost is being praised in his time, canbe
termed as the complete trangression of the God's word. Even though one can not
find in the whole Bible from the Book of Genesis to Revelation that the people
praised Jesus or the Holy Ghost, is it not the transgression from the righteous way
that one praise to them in capacity of God? Think over this yourselves.
Note: In the above vision of John the another aspect on which an important
stress saying that Lord Jehovah is to be praised after the general ressurrcetion
when the all people will have been awarded the places according to judgement.
Those who can not understnd to day that Jesus and the Holy spirit are not
worthy of praise in the status of God they shall have understood this point on that
day. Because the all secrets, which are hidden in this world, will be revealed in
that world and there is no chance to any thing to remeain in secreat. So what is
the fact that will be revealed in such situation? Will it be revealed that Jesus or
Holy Spirit are worthy of praise? Not at all. According to the above verse it will
be revealed that only one Jehovah is the worthy of all praises in all the times
forever and ever.

          John has proclaimed this fact before hand which he had seen in the vesion. Let
God may reveal the facts which all have been revealed hear after in advance in the
presect life. Just as the all living creatures and Jesus and his disciples praised to
only one Jehovah so also hence we praise to him only. God may give all of us such
true knowledge. Ameen.

The 'righteousness' saves - then does it God?

One of the arguments is that Jesus possessed the special features which Jehovah
possessed. Therefore Jesus is as equal as Jehovah. In this way to prove the
divinity of Jesus some argue that Jehovah is the saviour so also Jesus is the saviour
therefore they both are equal. According to their explanation the charecterestic
feature of 'righteousness', can be termed as God. As according to the following
verse.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness
delivereth from death. -Proverbs 10:2

        On careful perusal of the above verse it becomes clear that the righteousness
delivereth means saves man from the death. This means the righteousness also
can be termed as the saviour just as Jehovah and Jesus are the saviours likewise
the righteousness is also the saviour. Keeping in view of the word saviour, if we
regard Jehovah and Jesus become as co-equals, the righteousness also becomes
equal to Jehovah. Therefore why does not one worship the righteousness in the
capacity of God while one worship Jesus as God? So when one does not accept
righteousness as God how can Jesus become as God? Suppose, Jesus becomes
God by mere virtue of his being saviour then the righteousness also becomes
God. In such case there can be formed the another trinity. Therefore one should
not take some parts from the sentences of the Bible but on the whole context the
meaning of the verse should be taken. God may bestow such true belief make us
to and lead our life as propounded by the Bible and give us the true knowledge to
recognise Jehovah as God and Jesus as the Christ. Ameen.

4. Is Jesus a perfect God?

In these days there are somany irrelevant beliefs have been entered into the
christian community. One of them is that Jesus is the perfet man and at the same
time he is the perfect God himself. The reason in regarding them as the irrelevant
belief is that. In these days the church is professing such beliefs as are not mentioned
in the Bible and which were not professed by Jesus nor by his disciples.
Therefore is there any wrong to declare such fictitious beliefs as the irrelevant
beliefs? The question is why the chrstian scholars declare Jesus as perfect God as
Jehovah is. If it is agreed as correct on this simple formula observe the following
verse.

Be ye (disciples) therefore perfect, even as your father Be ye (disciples) therefore perfect, even as your father
which is in heaven is perfect. -Matthew 5:48

       According to Jesus we understand that the disciples are also perfect even as
the Father who is in the heaven. This means can the disciples become equal gods
to Jehovah merely because it is said of them as perfect? Not at all. If the logic is
accepted then how does Jesus become perfect God?

3. Jehovah is the light and Jesus is also the light- therefore Jesus is God. Can it be a truth?

Who (Jehovah) coverest thy self with light as with a garment... -Psalms 104:2

Jesus is the light
Saying I am the light of the world... -John 8:12

        If  we pay heed on the above two verses we can understand that Jehovah is the light so also Jesus is the light.  According to this comparision some argue "Jehovah and Jesus both are co-equals that is why we worship Jesus". In this way they try to justify their arguement. We can declare that this is no more than the outcome of the deficiency in the Biblical knowledge. Just as they make Jesus as God according to their logic similarly in accordnce with the same logic if the following verse is interpreted then the disciples also become Gods.

The disciples are the light
Ye are the light of the world... -Matthew 5:14

       According to the above verse one can understand that the disciples were also the light of the world. Jehovah is the light and Jesus is the light, therefore according to their logic if Jehovah and Jesus both are equal then those who worship Jesus in the capacity of God should also agree the worship of the disciples incapacity of God as they are the light of the world. If they can not agree to this then their arguement that Jesus is God also becomes wrong.

2. Is Jesus really a true God!?

And we know that the son (Jesus) of God is come and hath given us understanding that we may know him (Jehovah) is true, and we are in him (Jehovah) that is true, even in his (Jehovah) Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God (Jehovah) and eternal life.-1 John  5:20

Many christian scholars are confounded in the case of above verse also.  And according to the last part of the above that 'he is the true God and eternal life', they misundrstand and attribute the divinity to Jesus. If we pay attention on the above verse we can get the appropriate answer. The main reason of their misunderstanding is that Jesus had procalimed that 'he is the life'(John 14:6). But the Bible is a book which presents a broad concept and it has a deep message and also  consists of deep knowledge. It can be seen that a single word is used relating to many other persons. There is a threat of getting misconception of the real meaning of any verse if its meaning is not taken in proper way. Already the present day christianity has been involved into so many misconceptions. Thereby they are devided into thousands of denominations and moral values have been declined. As a matter of fact without  the unanimity in thoughts and beliefs in any religious community, even though it occupies a significant portion of the earth in majority, one day it would get the environment of confrontation. Therefore our christian scholars should give the top priority to the analytical study of the Bible. If the christian community would get such deffects, as are found in the other sects such as disunity, immorality, vagueness in the basic beliefs and inner conflicts etc., then what would be the speciality of the christianity than the other religious sects? In spite of having the great divine Book in their hands their involvement in such a degraded stage is highly regrettable.

Now let us examine the above verse. According to some words in the above such as ‘the true’ and ‘the true God’, many christian scholars misunderstand taking these words to have been referred to Jesus and attribute divinity to him. In this regard Jesus says himself as follows.

Jesus answered, thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world that I should bear witness unto the truth. -John 18:38

The above verse has a great significance in the teachings of Jesus. Because Jesus says himself in the above that what is the real reason of his birth. What is the basic reason of the birth of Jesus? That is "to bear the witness unto truth" what is that truth? The truth means the creator Jehovah. This means Jesus was born to bear  witness about Jehovah. With regard to this the chief disciple of Jesus explains in his epistle as follows

And we know that the son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know him (Jehovah) that is true... -1 John 5:20

Further what is the reason for his explaining the above verse that He is the true God? That is...
But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God and an everlasting king -Jeremiah 10:10

Basing on the above verse Jesus and after the time of Jesus the disciples used to preach the Gospel. Contrary to this many christians forgot the true God who is Jehovah and established Jesus in the capacity of God instead of following his teachings. This is indeed the complete antithetical manner to the teachings of Jesus. Further those who strive to attribute the divinity to Jesus by any means they misinterpret the above verse (1 John 5:20) as a part of their endeavour. According to this some people attract to some words which have been used for both Jehovah and Jesus and so also relating to some other persons. To know this let us see such words in the following verses.

According to following verses -Is Jesus God?

The christian theologians are not paying so much of attention as is necessary for the reformation of social evils which have been widely spread in the christian community. In stead of propagating the moral teachings as had been taught by Jesus, they are more particular in preaching: that- Jesus has redeemed you and offered his life on cross as ransom for your sins. And he is your intercessor.  The concepts such as these make one free from fear of God which ultimately lead one to commiany kind of sin. Thus christianity too entargled in the snare of evils such as debauchery-consuming of intoxicants, raping tribery etc...  Thus the moral values have been diluted with pollution of evils to the extent that the christian community can hardly be discriminated from others. What our findings are that  the teachings of Jesus are not being projected to the expected levels by Jesus through his followers. Let alone the social evils, but theological difference of opinions and sectarian divisions also took deep roots which cannot be plucked up easily. No doubt that one can find such drawbacks in all communities. But what our grievance is that it appears by its teachings that the church has given an indirect sanction to be free from fear of God by such preachings as above mentioned. The teachings of Jesus for building up of morality and for eradication of evil from the society are so high that even if some of them were put in practice and theologiaxs pay their attention on praching them, a very good christian community would have been built up. But the person of Jesus is focussed more as divine a second of the trinity rather than on his real person as a reformer and Christ of God. But christianity has awarded divinity and worships him rather than taking him as a prophet and reformer. We cannot find Jesus to have said in the whole Bible any where that he is a god, nor had he ever preached to worship him. The twelve Apostles and the early disciples never preached the divinity of Jesus. As regards to Jesus we can find two important points of which one is that one shold believe him as a Christ sent of God and the second is that one should follow him according to his teachings.
But to prove the divinity of Jesus christian scholors make a stress on the following verses.

DID JEHOVAH GIVE AWAY HIS GLORY TO JESUS?

In these days  what is the main aspect in the propagation of the Gospel ? It is believed that Jesus is the great  and as a person who possessed of divine glory. Therefore  let us examine carefully howfar this propagation is true in the light of teachings of Jesus himself in the Gospel. 

Jesus answered, if I honour my self, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God. -John 8:54

 

         In this verse Jesus makes clear that what he had, was not his own.

        As a matter of fact the merciful God had been giving a little bit of his glory to the holy prophets to perform the miracles to make people believe in their prophethood right from the beginning in some particular circumstances. So also God had bestowed a little bit of His glory to Jesus, but here the noticeable point is that did Jesus reserve the glory, which he had been given  by God for himself ? .So let us see what Jesus says in this regard in the following verse.

WAS JESUS’ GLORY OF HIS OWN? OR WAS CONFERRED BY GOD?

      Who is Jesus in reality? The immediate answer to this question from church is that ‘Jesus is God’.  When  one wants to  attribute any specific quality  to  any person or  thing the first point necessary to be taken into consideration is, that it should be made clear  whether he or it is having the attributed quality in him or not. Contrary to this if any one  attributes any speciality  to any body according to  his whim and fancy can be termed as  the out come of his absolute ignorance .We have entered in to the scientific era so our beliefs and arguements  should be reasonable and meaningful.  And we have to believe and propagate only such beliefs as have been exhorted by prophets. Then only  we will be called as wise  and also praised by others.  And  importantly  we will enjoy the real peace and virtuous qualities in our personal life. Further we can make the society as fruitful and pieceful. But now a days a lot of supersticious beliefs are growing in the religious sector, and that is the reason why people have lost their peace and moral values in their conduct,  thereby  our society became a place  of immorality and peaceless.

JESUS’ LIFE WAS NOT HIS OWN

Who is Jesus in reality? Is he a God ? If he is  a God, indeed,  he should have owned every thing, and he should not have been given by any other the favours  such as  what he had been conferred on him - his life, power, abilities and  the glory .  Because he who is called as God  should have his  own capability and be one who is independ of all others. But one who depends on others  is not eligible to be called as God . Therefore if it is questioned as “was the life of Jesus was of his own by it self ?”
   Jesus himself gives the answer to this question in the following verse.

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father. -John 6:57

If we ask Jesus whether the life, which he had possessed was of his own or given by some one else? Jesus answers in the above verse to this question as “I LIVE BY THE FATHER.” This is to mean that  he does not live by his own ability of living, and hence Jesus proclaims as ‘I live by Father’. This is because he  knew the truth. What is that truth? Observe in the following verse.

WHAT DOES THE PROPHECY SAY ABOUT JESUS?

It has been the custom of God of intimating through the prophecies about the Holy persons who would have  to  come in this world. Such type of information is called a prophecy.  Such prophecies were made not only relating to Jesus, but also prophesied in the case of  many other prophets too before Jesus.  And through  these prophecies God informed their signs and  some characteristics who would  have to come in to this world.   There are  two important aims in prophesying  before hand about the advent of the prophets who were to come into this world . One of them is that  people  might not be misled by the  false prophets and another is that the true prophets  might be recognised by comparing the qualities and signs as made mention in the prophecy.

What says  prophecy about the advent of Jesus?, Does it say that God himself would transform as Christ?  Or the person of Jesus was to appear in the capacity of Christ? Now let us examine carefully the proper answer to these questions in the light of  Biblical verses.

IS JESUS CREATOR OR A CREATURE?

             The analytical study of the Bible reveals clear answer to the  question as to  who is Jesus in reality?. Two confounded  beliefs  are there -whether Jesus  is Creator? or  a Creature?. So let us know distinctly  that who is the Creator according to Bible.

WHO IS THE CREATOR?

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. -Genesis 1:1

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. -Genesis 1:31

Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all thing that are therein, the seas, and all that is threin, and thou preservest them all, and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. -Nehemiah 9:6

       We have a number of verses such as above in the Bible all of which establish the fact that ‘Only Jehovah is the Creator of whole Universe’. Two important points can be noticed from the above verses. One of them is that God has created the heavens and the earth, and the second is that he made all things, which are existing in between these two. From these two points it is evident that  the only  Creator is exclusively beyond the creation. It means except Him everything and what all exist such as all souls, Angels, holy Spirits and Prophets...  all  are His creatures.

According to the holy bible: Jesus Did Not Die On the Cross –1

Dear readers!

         There are good and evil attitudes generally mixed in the nature of human beings. “how far a man controls  the evil attitudes those prevail in his mind, and how far he promotes the good attitude that are taking place in his mind – is only an examination  by God almighty for the life of mankind.

         But not knowing this fact, some people, those badly think, want to get great honors and huge wealth in a short way from common people. That’s why they have chosen the religious ground and have been making some false beliefs and false rituals and making market to their false beliefs in the name of Holy Scriptures. Because these common people do not believe anything without the proof of Holy Scripture.
