Did Jesus say we would be hated because of His name or the name of Jehovah?

Question

"You will be hated by all the nations because of My name.".

"If the world hates you," Jesus said, "you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you" (John 15:18-19).

I don't know..but to me it seems that the ones who promote Jesus as the Lord and Savior are hated here by many who claim to be Christians. The Bible didn't say they would be hated because of the name of Jehovah, but of Jesus. Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

Jehovah instructed Jesus on the message that should be carried out, so who do you think they hate?  

Furthermore, people who tend to give thumps down when anyone types the name Jehovah on this forum, but if you instead use Jesus or Lord then its ok.  These are the same people who say Jesus is Jehovah, but if they are the same why get bent out of shape when Jehovah's name is used?

EDIT: see what I mean with the thumps down, JEHOVAH!

EDIT:  That is not true Jesus said he is the Son of God so that is what we believe, also we follow is commandment are you?  Also he gve his life s we can approach God for forgiveness.  You are basically lying or putting words in my mouth.

EDIT:  Thank you!

Answer 2

yes He did....His part of the Trinity makes those who are deceived feel threatened Knowing He died for them when they reject him!!

Answer 3

Jesus' name is Jehovah...or YHWH.

John 8.58 Jesus said as clearly as He could have, "Before Abraham was, I AM.:   He used the verb to be and the 1st person singular pronoun.  He used the exact formula that God used to identify Himself to Moses.  

Answer 4

Yes, Jesus (Yeshua) means "Yah (Yahweh) is salvation".  

Answer 5

You are not missing a thing! You got it right- period. Jehovah's Witnesses will just have to either submit to the plain declarations of scripture- or else continue in rebellion against the Savior and perish.

And what's more is this: When the Bible talks about the name of Jesus or the name of God- it means more than what most people would suppose. When speaking of someone's name- you are speaking of the Person and the Work of that name; i.e. their character, attributes: Read Exodus 34:5-9!!

Not only this, but when we speak in someone's name, what we are doing is actually speaking in the authority of that person. So when someone speaks in the name of Jesus- it means that his words carry the authority of Jesus!

And what's more is this:

When Jesus came- He was sent of the Father- in the Father's name, to do the will of the Father and to glorify the Father. He came to make the Father known and to accomplish His will. If you pay attention you will notice how Jesus always made it a point to declare so! (John 10:22-38)

Likewise, when the Spirit came, He was sent forth of the Son- in the Son's name, to do the will of the Son and to glorify the Son. he came to make the Son known and to accomplish his will. If you pay attention you will notice that this is exactly what Jesus told his disciples before his death! (John 16:7-15)

The Father purposed the redemption of His chosen people

The Son accomplished the redemption of His chosen people

The Spirit applies that redemption to the hearts of His chosen people

The Father thought it

The Son bought it

The Spirit wrought it

Read Romans 8:28-39 and Ephesians 1- the whole chapter!!

RESPONSE:  Whoever gave me a thumbs down did not prayerfully read the passages I cited- OR -they got offended at the strong delcaration I made regarding Jehovah's Witnesses. If the latter is the case- then let me say this:

The Spirit of God came to glorify the Son, Jesus Christ- and speaks in HIS name- and teaches the saints of HIM.

So if the Jehovah's Witnesses OR ANYBODY ELSE for that matter- are not operating in submission to the name of Jesus Christ- this is clear evidence that they do not have the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Prophecy- and according to Revelation 19:10, "The Spirit of Prohpecy is THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS" - period. I know that many will be offended at this truth and at my strong assertions- but oh well. Nobody get's saved through a lie- we must proclaim the truth. This is why my User Name is Galatians 4:16! Praise Jesus!

Answer 6

Jehovah is another name for Jesus, and yes it is true many christians are persecuted for being christians.
