"What is His Name?" Exodus 3:13

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Question

If you were asked the name of your God, as Moses said the captive people would ask him,
what would your answer be and why?

Exodus 3:13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”

chose Jesus because it differentiates me from those who don't believe that he is Lord and God.

(actually I have an alterior motive, I want to see an icon for JC's)

 

[Mary of Bethany]

I chose "other", even though I could have chosen "Jesus" or "Father", but that really isn't complete.

God is Holy Trinity, 1 God in 3 Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

[bbbbbbb]

I agree entirely with you MaryofBethany and for that reason I found myself unable to respond to the poll.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

I suppose I would have to say I worship the same One that Jesus worshipped and came from as Jesus explained in John 14. Does God have a name? And no, I do not want to get into a discussion or debate on the "trinity"

John 14:8-11 Phillip is saying to Him "Lord! show! to us the Father and is being sufficient to us". Jesus is saying to him "as much time with ye I am and not thou have known Me Philip! The one having seen Me has seen the Father, and why thou saying 'show! to us the Father'? Not thou are believing that I in the Father and the Father in Me is?

The declarations which I am saying to ye I am not speaking from Myself, the yet Father in Me abiding, He is doing the works. Be ye believing! to Me, that I in the Father and the Father in Me. If yet no, thru the works them be ye believing! to Me.

Excellent!
I hesitate to vote in this one. The Holy Trinity cannot be reduced to "other" status.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

One of the reasons that this came to mind was in discussing a person who had killed because "god had told him to" He claimed it was the christian god. The only proof against that is the character of jesus christ.

The question is the letter "a" of the council of Constantine

"Jesus is Lord,"


That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.


I am a slave and bond servant to the Lord Jesus Christ.

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross

John 4:23 But is coming an hour and now is when the true worshipers/proskunhtai <4353> shall be worshipping/proskunhsousin <4352> (5692) to the Father in Spirit and Truth, for also the Father such is seeking the ones worshipping Him.
24 A spirit the God, and the ones worshipping Him in Spirit and Truth is binding to be worshipping."

Reve 22:8 And I, John, the one hearing and beholding these things. And when I hear and behold, I fall to worship/proskunhsai <4352> (5658) before the feet of the Messenger, the one showing to me these-things. 9 And He is saying to me "be thou seeing no! a fellow bond-servant of thee I am and of the brothers of thee the prophets and of the ones keeping the Words of the scrollet, this. To the God worship/proskunhson <4352> (5657) thou!
