CHAPTER 2
The Almighty God vs the Mighty God
I’ve encountered some Jehovah’s Witnesses who claim Jehovah is the “Almighty God” and Jesus is the “Mighty God” making the “Almighty God” a separate being from the “Mighty God.”
The ‘ Mighty God’ isn’t lower than the ‘ Almighty God’ since Jehovah of the OT was frequently referred to as the “Mighty God” (Gen 49:24; Deut 7:21; Ps 50:1; 132:2,5; Isa 10:21; Jer 32:18; Hab 1:12; 2 Ne 6:17; 20:21; D&C 109:68). Conversely, Jesus Christ was also referred to as the “Almighty” in Rev 1:8.
This interchangeability shows it isn’t possible to claim the “Almighty God” is a separate being from the “Mighty God.”
