Looking for truths, What does Jesus the person we are to follow closely in footsteps have to say about it? ( John 14:28) �If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.� It can�t be that they are equal with one saying the other is greater right? Matthew 26:39, �Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, �My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.�� (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father�s will). John 8:17, 18, �[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.� (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father). Looking for truths, God�s name and who He is is huge! Jesus our teacher knew this and gave ALL credit to his Father Jehovah. Through Jehovah ALL things are possible, without Him nothing is possible. The translators of the New Testament translated without any desire to add human doctrines. They only wanted the truth. And even if God�s name did get in His book more than in the original, what would be better, knowing His name or taking His name out and not knowing His name? I think it�s better to let the Bible translate the Bible. What does all of it say . . . Romans 10:13, For �everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.�
