Hier ein Thread speziell für unsere arianischen Freunde:
Erstmal, was Ellen White dazu sagt:
[bibel]Still seeking to give a true direction to her faith, Jesus
declared, “I am the resurrection, and the life.” In Christ is life,
original, unborrowed, underived. “He that hath the Son hath life.” 1 John 5:12. The divinity of Christ is the believer’s assurance of eternal life.—The Desire of Ages, 530. {7ABC 438.5}
Silence fell upon the vast assembly. The name of God, given to
Moses to express the idea of the eternal presence, had been claimed as
His own by this Galilean Rabbi. He had announced Himself to be the
self-existent One, He who had been promised to Israel, “whose goings
forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity.”—The Desire of Ages, 469. {7ABC 438.6}[/bibel]
In Christus ist Leben, ursprünglich, ungeliehen und unabgeleitet. Er ist der selbstexistierende Eine.
[bibel]The world’s Redeemer was equal with God. His authority was as the
authority of God. He declared that He had no existence separate from the
Father. The authority by which He spoke, and wrought miracles, was
expressly His own, yet He assures us that He and the Father are one.—The Review and Herald, January 7, 1890, p. 1. {7ABC 439.1}
Jehovah, the eternal, self-existent, uncreated One, Himself the
Source and Sustainer of all, is alone entitled to supreme reverence and
worship.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 305. {7ABC 439.2}
Jehovah is the name given to Christ. “Behold, God is my
salvation,” writes the prophet Isaiah; “I will trust, and not be afraid;
for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my
salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
salvation. And in that day ye shall say, Praise the Lord, call upon His
name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is
exalted.” “In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We
have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may
enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on
Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever; for in
the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.”—The Signs of the Times, May 3, 1899, p. 2. {7ABC 439.3} [/bibel]
JHWH ist der ewige, selbst-existierende, unerschaffene Eine, Er selbst, die Quelle und der Erhalter von allem, hat alleine den berechtigten Anspruch auf höchste Verehrung und Anbetung.
JHWH ist der Name, der Christus gegeben ist.
