I have lots of questions and need lots of answers

I believe in God I believe in Jesus and rely only on him for my salvation. Unfortunately I struggle with trusting the Bible. My mind sees things that cause me to question certain aspects and I’m looking to see what others opinion or knowledge is on this. For instance……

John chapter 7:46-53. How did the author whether it be John or someone else, how did he know? How did the author know exactly what was said and happened between the soldiers and the Pharisees?

Jehovah God’s active force, God's holy spirit inspired the apostle John to pen descriptions of certain events that took place. John was also an eyewitness to many of the situations that took place in Jesus' life. He was a close companion of Jesus.

@seotelkniwt Heard said He was Jehovah.

@hippyjoe1955 So you heard who was Jehovah?

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@seotelkniwt yes do you know who is Jehovah and with what words Jesus said He was Jehovah?

@hippyjoe1955 There are no words in the Bible where Jesus claimed he was Jehovah his heavenly Father. Secular, theological, and socalled other unauthorized, uninspired books or the socalled missing books of the Bible are rift with human error, misquotes, and outright lies. So please keep your socalled authoritive research to yourself. I deal strictly with the Bible and other reliable resources that cosign and back up what the 66 inspired books of the Bible present.

@seotelkniwt compare Exodus 3:14 with John 8:58 and get back to me.

@hippyjoe1955 Yes, I absolutely know who my God, Jehovah is. Do you? PSALM 83:18, EXODUS 6:3, ISAIAH 12:2, ISAIAH 26:4

@seotelkniwt John 10:30

@hippyjoe1955 John 10:30 is NOT saying Jehovah and Jesus are the same spiritual person. One is greater than the other JOHN 14:28. Jesus also said he and his disciples are one. JOHN 17:21. A man and his wife are one, but that doesn't mean they are the same person in the same body GENESIS 2:24, MATTHEW 19:5. That doesn't mean him and his followers are one person. It simply means that Jesus and his followers were on are on the same page when it comes to spiritual objectives. Jesus followers and apostles never worshipped him the son.

@seotelkniwt yes Jesus is Yahweh which is the proper pronunciation of Jehovah.

seotelkniwt · F

@hippyjoe1955 No Jesus is not Jehovah. Jesus is not the same as his heavenly Father no more than you are the same as your father. Yahweh is the Hebrew spelling and pronunciation of God’s personal name.

@hippyjoe1955 John 20:17. If Jesus is God, why did he pray to his heavenly Father to remove this "cup" from him or his upcoming sacrifice? Couldn't Jesus have removed his upcoming death if he was God?

@seotelkniwt The Thought of God asks the Will of God if there is any other way. The Will of God said "No" so the Thought of God said "Your Will be Done". Jesus was the Word/Logos/Consciousness of God.
