Did Jesus Christ use the name Jehovah?

Answer 1

Yes Jesus is the son of Jehovah. Jehovah is the creator of heaven and earth. (Psalm 83:18) At John 3:16 it is clearly stated that Jesus is God's son.

Answer too:Please take your Bible and note what it says in Luke 1:32. Speaking of Jesus, it says: "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David." (KJV)

This raises the question, "Who is the Most High, or Highest?" The Bible itself tells us, as the above response notes, in Psalm 83:18 - "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (KJV)

AnswerNo. categorically No. No, No.

Jesus is God the Son - exactly what he claimed to be, and not a subservient son' of God. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is a subservient 'son' of God, and 'god-like' but not God. This strange description is very confused and can only be backed up by citing odd verses of scripture taken out of context. This same view was declared heretical way back in the early Church while there were still people around who could remember the disciples themselves or their own close followers. Jehovah's Witnesses seem to fly in the face of all Biblical revelation throughout the past 2000 years, and the teaching of all theologians, Bible scholars, church leaders, textual critics, and Bible historians since the Church began, despite not one Jehovah's Witness, to my knowledge, ever having any basis in Greek or Hebrew to discuss scripture with authority, accuracy, clarity and honesty.

Jesus throughout his ministry made it very clear just who he is - God in human form and not the subservient 'son' of Jehovah. The name 'Jehovah' is not even Biblical but a clumsy anglicisation of God's 'name' the Tetragrammton YHWH which JWs use at every opportunity, much to the horror of the Jews who would never utter the 'name' of God because they deemed it too holy. To them they would regard the over-use of Jehovah as infinitely less respectful as meeting Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II and giving her bottom a slap and shouting 'how's it going Liz'. Such things are simply not done!

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to accept the divinity of Jesus citing individual verses out of context to back up heretical views. Yet Jesus made it very clear just who he was and is.

• Throughout his ministry he 'taught with authority' in showing his authority to break Levitical law. His phrase used was 'you have heard it said that..... but I tell you...". To the Jew this meant one thing. That jesus, far from being a subservientson of God, was the manifestation of God in human form.
• He accepted worship. At the end of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus accepted the worship of the disciples. The wise men worshipped him. Contrary to the JW teaching where they translate this as 'deference' the Greek used 'proskuneo' is reserved for worship of God alone.
• He forgave sins. Not in God's name but in his own. This was the height of blasphemy unless Jesus was exactly who he claimed to be - God with us, Emmanuel. On occasions the chief priests went to stone him for blasphemy because 'he claimed to be God'. Of course, to preserve the JW heresy, the New World Translation of the Bible records these incidences as the priests saying ' he claimed to be a god'. Yet they do not explain why the priests regarded him as blasphemous merely by claiming to be 'a god'. Blasphemy is reserved for the desecration of God alone. Again Jesus would be guilty of the worst blasphemy unless he was God incarnate.
• He performed miracles - only God could do this. Others before and since, of course, performed miracles - Moses, Peter and so on - but always in God's (or Jesus') name. But Jesus performed miracles in his own name.

  This means that when Jesus answered the questions of the disciples he did so in the knowledge that he was God incarnate. When the disciples asked Jesus what the Father looked like he replied - 'he who has seen me has seen the Father'. The meaning of 'The Father and I are One' is therefore crystal clear. Bearing in mind Jesus' own claims, here he states categorically that He and the Father are one and the same. Far from being a subservient 'son' of the Jehovah's Witness belief, Jesus is God himself in human form.

Of course there are some who regard Jesus differently. Islam regard him as merely a prophet, but then Islam does not purport to be a Christian religion. However all Christians regard Jesus as divine and trace their ancestry back tot he early Church where the divinity of Jesus as part of a Tinitarian Godhead was never called into question.

There are groups that believe they are part of the Christian Church - namely Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse to believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ - instead formulating their own doctrine. As these groups cannot confess that Jesus is Lord (the earliest creed) nor stand up and declare their faith in the other original creeds of the Church, and so, whatever else they are, they cannot be called 'Christian' in the true sense of the oprthodox Christian Church that has been around for 2000 years. At best they can be called sects, and at worst, cults as they distort the true message of Christianity.

==============================================================

Jesus means different things to different people. The above answer seems to be a little narrow minded. Some faiths believe that Jesus was in deed the son of God, others that he is God, part of the Holy Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Other faiths simply believe that he was a holy man or prophet. Jesus himself spoke of "His" Father and referred to himself as "the Son of Man".

Answer 2

It is not recorded in The Bible that Jesus Christ spoke the name of Jehovah, however he made himself equal with God by calling him father many times:

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5.18)

Answer 3

No, Jesus and Jehovah are 2 different spirits..

Answer 4

This can only be answered as a matter of belief, not fact.
