  • Jesus is Yahweh

    I have to reduce my rating. I have a critique. Jesus is Yahweh. I think that’s clear with many passages that refer to Yahweh in the Old Testament that the New Testament authors use to refer to Jesus. Especially in the book of revelation.. Maybe I heard you wrong Ronn but it seemed like you said that Jesus is sent by Yahweh, but he’s not Yahweh. This pains me because I love the divine council worldview, but not a view that says Jesus is not Yahweh.

    That was episode 36 “The Two Powers in heaven” more
