The New Testament always lifts up Jesus Christ’s name, not Jehovah’s name. Why?

[Jesus.defender]

The New Testament always lifts up Jesus Christ’s name, not Jehovah’s name. Why?

Because Jesus Christ is Jehovah God on earth. Christ is 100% God and 100% man.

Q1: In whose name should we meet together?

‘Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.’ (Matthew 18:20)

Q2: Demons were cast out by the authority of whose name?

‘Paul.....said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.’ (Acts 16:18)

Q3: In whose name should we preach repentance and forgiveness of sins?

‘And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations. And ye are witnesses of these things.’ (Luke 24:47,48)

Q4: In whose name are we to believe and receive forgiveness of sins?

‘....through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.’ (Acts 10:43, John 1:12)

Q5: By whose name, and no other, do we obtain salvation? Acts 4:10,12 says:

‘by the name of Jesus Christ ... Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’

Q6: In whose name should we pray? John 16:23,24; 14:13,14; 15:16 says:

‘Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.’

Q7: In whose name is the Holy Spirit sent?

‘But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name......’ (John 14:26)

Q8: In whose name and authority did the disciples heal the sick?

‘His name through faith in his name hath made this man strong’ (Acts 3:16; 4:30)

Q9: Whose name did Paul say that we are to call upon?

‘ all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.’ (I Cor 1:2)

Q10: Whose name is above every name?

‘God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name .... that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.’(Phil 2:9-11)

Paul’s quote about Christ is from Isaiah 45:22-24 where every knee will bow to Jehovah. What is true about Jehovah, is also true of Christ, the Lord of all mankind

Q11: According to Acts 1:8, of whom are we to be witnesses?

‘Ye shall be witnesses unto me (Jesus)’

Q12: In whose name were believers baptized?

‘they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus’. (Acts 8:16; 2:38)

Q13: In whose name were believers designated?

‘the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch’. (Acts 11:26)

Q14: In whose name did the apostles speak?

‘Commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus’ Acts 4:17,18

Q15: In whose name did early Christians suffer? Acts 15:26 says:

‘Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ ‘rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name’Acts 5:41;9:16

Q16: Whose name was Paul to carry?

‘Lord said: He is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.’ (Acts 9:15)

Q17: In whose name did Paul deliver a man to Satan?

‘In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...to deliver such an one to Satan.’ I Cor 5:4,5

Q18: In whose name did the apostles teach? Acts 5:28; 8:12 says:

‘Did we not straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name?’

Good point.

 

As always, the average brainwashed Jehovahs Witness is not programmed to THINK, but simply regurgitate the lies they have been told by the watchtower.

 

Notice He/She totally FAILED to address ANY point i quoted?

1983 "Avoid independent thinking...questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization." (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 22)

1983 "Fight against independent thinking." (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 27 )
 

[Witness]

The Father’s name is lifted up through Jesus’ own name, which we know as “YHWH is Salvation”.

“I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.”  John 17:11

 If the organization truly could see this there would not have been the presumptuous act of inserting “Jehovah” into the NT.  Jesus bears God’s name within his personage and in spirit.  What more do we need?  Do we dare alter as the WT has, what has been handed down for centuries and still preserve its truth? Perhaps, perhaps not, but who is man to act so brazen in God's sight?

^“Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”  Acts 4:11,12

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. “ Gal1:6-9

Jesus set forth God’s purpose and the mystery of his will; indeed, Jesus proclaimed “YHWH is Salvation”.  God's name is quite clear as the scriptures stand through every act by his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 1:8,17

Jesus’ own name, which we know as “YHWH is Salvation”.

 Jesus name is also Immanuel, "God with us"

[John Houston]

It is also strange that this Son, who was sent, had no power but that was given him by his Father. He came to do his Father's will not his own. The parable he spoke of the king who sent his son, after the many slaves were killed, but even this son was also killed was about his situation with his Father. Yes, we know about his name. It has a place, at his Father's right hand, until he is given the time to rule the kingdom with full authority. And after he has finished this Jesus will give all authority back to his Father and regulate himself, humbly again as he prayed to the glory he had before coming to earth. That is what scripture says. Yes Jesus is the theme person in the NT, but Jesus made his Father's name known, not his own. To do what he left for them at Acts 1:8, all what has been said about Jesus had to occurr. We are not brainwashed, but understand scripture! Agape.

[HollyW]

Acts 4:10   let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you executed on a stake but whom God raised up from the dead, by means of him this man stands here healthy in front of you..........12  Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved......17 So that this does not spread any further among the people, let us threaten them and tell them not to speak to anyone anymore on the basis of this name.” 18 With that they called them and ordered them not to say anything at all or to teach on the basis of the name of Jesus. 19 But in reply Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves. 20  But as for us, we cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard.”

Acts 5:28 “We strictly ordered you not to keep teaching on the basis of this name, and yet look! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us.”+29 In answer Peter and the other apostles said: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men.   The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake. 31 God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.  32 And we are witnesses of these matters, and so is the holy spirit, which God has given to those obeying him as ruler.”

Terrible translation.

 

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Jesus.defender.  I looked up the NKJV and find that "protect them by the power of" has a footnote saying, "Father keep them faithful to which may be what you are referring to.  Could you tell me your translation?  I also looked at three interlinears and see a common thread that I don't see in yours,

Newy word for word -" And no longer I am in the world and these in the world are, and I to the come.  Father, Holy, keep them in my name whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we."

Kingdom Interlinear word for word - "And not yet I am in the world, and they in the world ar, and I toward you am coming.  Father, holy observe them in the name of you to which you have given to me, in order that they may be one according as we"

Scriptures4all word for word - "And not still I am in the system and these in the system are and I toward you am coming Father! Holy!  Keep them in the name of you whom you have given to me that they may be one according as we."

KJV - And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

Thanks.

Jesus in His HUMAN form had no power but that which was given to Him by the Father.
