The “two Jehovahs” can only be done by utilizing the NT texts and paralleling them with various OT passages. Those who accept the NT as the Word of God and accept what it says about the person of Jesus Christ are obligated to accept the fact that the NT as a whole teaches that Jesus was the pre-mortal Jehovah in addition to being the Son of Jehovah.</div> <div>      Just as a father and son can both be called “Doctor” if both are doctors, likewise can both God the Father and God the Son be called “Jehovah” and “God.”</div> <bR> <div> <B>Jehovah’s Witnesses and others may not like it, but the Scriptures are clear that Jesus is “Jehovah” as well as the “Son of Jehovah.”</B></div> <bR> <div>      If we don’t honor Jesus as Jehovah (the I AM [<I>Ego Eimi</I>]), we will die in our sins (John  8:24). Clearly, <B>the consequences of rejecting Jesus as Jehovah carry a judgment that can’t be lightly dismissed by anyone.</B></div> <div>      I am so grateful for my membership in the true church. I testify to all that Jesus is Jehovah as well as the Son of Jehovah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church. I invite all to join it to receive the full blessings God wishes to give those who strive to obey his will.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:ewatson@shaw.ca" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:ewatson@shaw.ca"><U>e-mail me!</U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
