Notes:
- From the Dana Pike article (above): “In some biblical passages, the title ‘adonay immediately precedes the divine name yhwh. As mentioned above, the practice of pronouncing ‘adonay, ‘Lord,’ developed when the name yhwh was encountered in the biblical text. Therefore, occurrences of the phrase ‘adonay yhwh are usually rendered ‘Lord God’ in English (with God printed with small caps), rather than the expected but redundant-looking ‘Lord Lord,’ even though the word ‘God’ is not in the Hebrew of this phrase. One well-known example of this appears in Amos 3:7: ‘Surely the Lord God [‘adonay yhwh] will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.’”

As someone who was recently contacted by LDS and is genuinely curious in some pretty dense and unfortunately sometimes boring stuff .. I can not understate how awesome your usage of memes and references is. Whoever does the editing should get a raise man. Great video!
So when I'll read the Old Testament and see "Lord" I will think of Christ, then when I see what exactly...? I should think about God the father
If Jesus Christ is not Jehovah, then He was a blasphemer as the priests said about Him. Who is the Lord of the Sabbath? Who shares glory with God? Yahweh said that He is the Lord of Sabbath, Jesus said that the Son of Man is Lord of Sabbath, Yahweh said that his glory He share with no one, Jesus said to God the Father to give Him back the glory that He had with Him since before the creation.
So Jesus killed all the first born of Egypt? (Exodus) And Jesus ordered Joshua to slaughter every man, woman, and child in Jericho? (Joshua 6)
Why everyone now-a-days all want to put Jesus above God? I know all thru Jesus but who send Jesus as he himself says he ''was'' send . His prayers to who they went to isf he is God? Remember that somebody else wanted to be as God and is still trying and now he is passing the doctrine around the world putting Jesus above God, you who know that is too. Like the doctrine of a flat earth and the Trinity etc. Also remember, Jesus was tempted by Satan, you can not tempt God.
Jesus is a angel created by Jehovah
Jehovah and the Father, are one. There is no other God, no, they know not one. And no other God we are to worship but them.
John 1 doesn't identify Jesus as creator but rather all things were created "through" *The word*, which is a poetic way of saying created with god's word, plan, purpose in mind.
1 Corinthians 10:4 is my favourite bit of evidence.
Revelation 3 KJV Holy Bible We must chsnge Jesus dont like Rap....We have witess Acts 2:14-21 because of tri tones and other devil worship traditions involved....
MANY people view the Trinity as “the central doctrine of the Christian religion.” According to this teaching, the Father, Son, and holy spirit are three persons in one God. Cardinal John O’Connor stated about the Trinity: “We know that it is a very profound mystery, which we don’t begin to understand.” Why is the Trinity so difficult to understand?
Love the build up to Jesus’s “I Am”
That mic drop scene with Christ claiming the "I Am" title actually got me to laugh, great editing guys!
Extremely clear and fun as always! Thank you so much for all the work you put in to bring us these videos!
In Psalm 110, to whom is Jehovah speaking? Who is sitting at his right hand? Thanks.
Great info, thanks! PLEASE invite Rod Meldrum and Wayne May on to your program for a Book of Mormon geography video. I think you'll quickly find that their evidence for where the Book of Mormon lands is overwhelming and that most members of the church agree with them, but would be great to hear them in this Saints Unscripted format.
Just as I am about to NOT have a good day, David reminds me to have a good day at the end of every episode:)
Excellent video. But I have a question; If Jesus is Jehovah in the old testament, in the old covenant the Abrahamic God then how would you explain this passage in the new testament, in the act of the apostles chapter 3 verse 13 and chapter 5 verse 30? I would appreciate it very much if you would answer me with Biblical bases. Thank you so much!
So we are to have no other god before Jesus? If he is the one who gave the commands. It makes sense in the context of the triune God but not when they are separate beings. Genuinely curious.
Is god the father not talked about in the old testament then?
