How to prove to Jehovah Witnesses and others that
Jesus is God. ·
God was the Testator of the ten commandment law. ·
The law was a Testament; a Covenant. ·
The person who made the Law was the Testator. ·
Only the Testator could atone for any breach in that law. ·
Hbr 9:16 For where a testament [is], there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. ·
Jesus is the one who died for the breach in the Law. ·
Jesus was the Testator. Both the Father and the Son were present at the giving of the
Law on Mt. Sinai. Jesus spoke face to face with Moses and Moses saw only the
backside of the Father. Father and
Son gave law at Mt. Sinai: "In union with the Father, Christ proclaimed
the law amid the thunders of Sinai..." E.G. White, The Signs of the
Times, 11-12-94, pr. 07. Ellen White
said that both the Father and Son were on Mt. Sinai giving the law. "In union with the Father, Christ
proclaimed the law amid the thunders of Sinai..." E.G. White, The
Signs of the Times, 11-12-94, pr. 07. Now we know how she knew this--by the
following verses: "Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And they saw THE GOD OF
ISRAEL: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire
stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness." Exodus 24:9,
10. “Christ and the Father, standing side by
side upon the mount, with solemn majesty proclaimed the Ten
Commandments..." E.G. White,
Evangelism, p. 616. "In union with the Father, Christ
proclaimed the law amid the thunders of Sinai..." E.G. White, The Signs of the Times,
11-12-94, pr. 07.
"The most fatal delusion of the Christian world in this
generation is, that in pouring contempt on the law of God they think they are
exalting Christ. What a position! It was Christ
who spoke the law from Sinai. It was Christ who gave the law to Moses, engraven on tables of stone. It was his Father's law; and Christ says, "I and my Father are
one." The Pharisees held the reverse of the modern position, but were in
just as great an error. They rejected Christ, but exalted the law. And it
makes little difference which position is taken, so long as we ignore the
true one,--that faith in Christ must be accompanied by obedience to the law
of God." {ST, September 4, 1884 par. 13} Ellen White further contributes to this
matter by testifying that both the Father and the Son were on Mt. Sinai
giving the Law. She is right because Moses spoke face to face with the Son,
but only saw the backside of the Father. Deu 5:4 http:www.blueletterbible.orgkjvDeuDeu005.html
The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the
fire, Read Deu. 5:1-4,
to see that THE LORD OUR GOD made a covenant with us in Horeb, where is Mt.
Sinai. Verse 3 says: The Lord our God made not this covenant with our
fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. Verse
4: The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the
fire. Verse 6 says: I am the Lord THY GOD, which brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, from the house of bondage. So Ellen White was right on! Moses saw God
the Father's backside and spoke FACE TO FACE with the Son, as Lord God, on
the Mt. Sinai in Horeb. Here Jesus is called LORD and GOD. Yes, God the
Father was IN CHRIST, reconciling the world to Himself, but it was not the
Father who died. The Son died as the Testator of that Covenant. Therefore, if
Christ was not equal to God the Father in the Old Testament pre-Incarnation
phase of His Being, then there has been no ratified Covenant--no Atonement,
no heavenly Sanctuary sacrifice at the Incarnation. Jesus as God Almighty, the “LORD God Almighty” who revealed Himself and spoke
with Moses: “Then the LORD said to Moses, “now you shall see
what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and
under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.” God spoke further to
Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD;
and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name,
LORD, I did not make Myself known to them. I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of
Canaan, the land in which they sojourned. Furthermore I have heard the
groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in
bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.
Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will
bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you
from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with
great judgments. Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God;
and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the land which I
swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a
possession; I am the LORD.” (Ex. 6:1-8 emphasis mine). Biven’s
book, p. 65. The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty.” (SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p.
1129). The humanity of Christ Jesus was not God Almighty.
But, apparently, He was God Almighty before His Incarnation. No man could
atone for sin. Not even an angel could do that says Ellen White. The
commonality that makes the Godhead ONE GOD, is their ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT. For
most Jews, and some Gentiles, this is a stumbling block.
Question: The Divinity of Christ did not die on the cross says
Ellen White. The humanity of Christ was not the Testator, so the death
of His humanity could not atone for sin. Only His person as the Testator
could do that. So the question is: How did His person as Testator, as
Divinity, die, to satisfy the Testator Covenant, if Divinity cannot die? I
know the only answer. Do you? Exodus
20
