					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m going to respond to the last couple comments about the divinity of Christ by pointing out Philippians 2:10-11:

&quot;…At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.&quot;

This passage, which Paul is likely quoting from a very early hymn, is critical for understanding the Christology of the earliest church. This is because it quotes one of the Scriptures&#039; strongest statements of exclusive monotheism, Isaiah 45:23, but then, shockingly, applies it to Jesus: 

&quot;There is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: &lt;em&gt;Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear&lt;/em&gt;.” Isaiah 45:23

This is exactly the opposite of what Craig asserted. The very words about God alone being glorified have been applied to Jesus! Dwight Pryor explains, 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The exclusive prerogatives of Adonai, such as creation and kingship, are now extended to Jesus – not as some external, albeit divine agent, but as someone within the very identity and oneness of God himself. This is a crucial point. This veneration of Yeshua with and connected to YHWH is permissible only if he in some way is within the &lt;em&gt;ehad&lt;/em&gt; of God. Otherwise such attributions of scriptures, functions, authority, power, and identity to him that apply exclusively to the God of Israel would violate the Shema’s monotheism. …Quite simply, within a Jewish frame of reference, the risen Lord Jesus can be worshipped with HaShem only if in some ontological sense he operates within the oneness of God, i.e., is divine. YHWH shares his glory with no one; worship/service is reserved exclusively for him alone.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This quote comes from the series &lt;em&gt;One God, One Lord&lt;/em&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;http://jcstudies.com&quot; title=&quot;JC Studies&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.jcstudies.com&lt;/a&gt;. I highly recommend it for understanding how the early Jewish church understood the divinity of Christ.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The soon coming King of the kingdoms of the world is found in Isaiah 44 &#038;45 and other places like Rev 11:17 where it says that God has made Himself King and has begun to rule.
Of course Yahshua Jesus was not, is not the Savior of the world, he was and is God&#039;s Anointed or King. All through Isaiah God makes it quite clear the He ALONE is Savior and he shares His glory with NO MAN...including Jesus. Jesus I have come in my Father&#039;s name and you receive me not but should come in his own name HIM you will accept. Many will and come saying they are Jesus but ONE will come in His own name....surnamed by God. 
Isa 45:4  For Jacob my servant&#039;s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. 
The king to come will have a name that suggest a foundation like a rock or a place of hiding in a rock...ie Peter or Craig. His surname would suggest Power from on high...He will have the CHARGE of God and will come in the likeness of Cyrus the Great.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed the insight on this simple word. I never thought about Lord and King meaning different things. But it does seem that Lord has more implications to have authority over someone who has summited themselves to that person while Christ or &quot;King&quot; has great authority over their &quot;subjects&quot; in the kingdom. The kingdom in this case of course being the Kingdom of God as you have said previously. This is in fact more verification that Jesus is not only part of the ultimate authority over the Kingdom of God but also someone that we surrender to and summit our lives to his own authority. Thank you for your article!]]></description>
