<h1><span style="font-size: x-large; color: #0000ff;">Is Paul Correct That Jesus' Name Is Above The Name of Yahweh</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">In <a href="http://biblehub.com/philippians/2-9.htm">Phillipians 2:9</a>, Paul taught God put Jesus' name above all names:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">But God in the 10 Commandments in the very first command made His own name above any other name. Jesus even taught us to hallow and revere the name of God (<em>i.e.</em>, Yahweh) in the "Our Father."&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">Jesus also said the Father was "greater than I" (<a href="http://biblehub.com/john/14-28.htm">John 14:28</a>), so Jesus did not claim His own name could be higher than the name Yahweh -- the name of the Father.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;"><img src="http://www.yahweh.com/images/yahweh/tetra1.jpg" alt="Hebrew Yahweh" style="float: right;" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;" data-mce-mark="1">How do Paulinists handle this contradiction of Jesus and the Original Testament? They admit Paul goes directly against Holy Scripture, but they revel in it. For example, the author of Christian History 101 comments on this verse in Paul's epistle:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;" data-mce-mark="1"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;" data-mce-mark="1">Even if this confession is to the Father, the confession is about Jesus as&nbsp;<i>kurios</i>. In this text Paul has just said that God has "exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name." "Well," (I am sure Buzzard would say) "we know Paul does not mean every name, being a law abiding, first century Jew he would never think&nbsp;<i>Jesus</i>&nbsp;would be above YHWH." Yet, this is&nbsp;<b>exactly</b>&nbsp;what Paul is saying.&nbsp;<br /> <a href="http://www.churchhistory101.com/feedback/review-buzzard.php" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.churchhistory101.com/feedback/review-buzzard.php">http://www.churchhistory101.com/feedback/review-buzzard.php</a><br /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;" data-mce-mark="1">Where Does Paul Lead Us (Or Mislead Us)?</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;" data-mce-mark="1">But once you go down Paul's path, doesn't the Father fade into the background as not very important at all?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">Yes. For example, take a look at Big Daddy Weave's song "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSqAvhTT_fo&amp;feature=kp">Only Name</a>" which is based upon Paul's dictum that Jesus' name is above all names.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">Nothing can prove better than this song that something is wrong in our Pauline emphasis on ONLY the name of Jesus to the<em><strong> total and utter neglect of God, the Father whose name is Yahweh</strong></em>. Big Daddy says Jesus' love is the only love he ever needs. Only the name of Jesus supposedly matters in the final verse.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">But to hallow and revere God's name as Jesus taught us in the Our Father means you keep Yahweh's name above all other names. Yet, Paul influences us to make Jesus' name the only one of any importance...and seeking Jesus' friendship is the way of "feeling" the Father smiling on us. But if by our doing so, we hurt the Father's heart, then that cannot be proper. &nbsp;Paul has led us into a pit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">Paul clearly leads us away from what God, Yahweh, intends:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">For <em><strong>My name will be great among the nation</strong></em>s, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name in every place because My name will be great among the nations," says <strong><em>Yahweh of Hosts.</em></strong> &nbsp;(<a href="http://biblehub.com/malachi/1-11.htm">Malachi 1:11</a>, Holman, revealing Yahweh is in the original text.)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Do you agree Paul leads us sacrilegiously to exalt Jesus' name too far -- that His name becomes greater than the name of Yahweh? That Yahweh's name is now even forgotten due to our Love for Jesus, wrongly inspired to make that love exceed our love and proximity to Yahweh whom Jesus said dwelled "in me." (John 14:10)? Even if you could dispute Paul meant what Paul apparently says, can you deny the effect of Paul's words has contributed to the utter neglect of the true name of God -- Yahweh?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Next, compare another prophecy in Jeremiah about the lying prophets who rob attention from God's true prophets whom He sent, and then they cause people to "<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">forget</span></strong>" the true name of Yahweh as they forgot it long ago:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">"I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in My name have said, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' (<a href="http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/23-25.htm">Jeremiah 23:25</a>, Holman Christian Standard Bible)&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">How long will this continue in the minds of the prophets prophesying lies, prophets of the deceit of their own minds? (<a href="http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/23-26.htm">Jeremiah 23:26</a>, Holman)</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">Through their dreams that they tell one another, <em><strong>they plan to cause My people to forget My name</strong></em> as their fathers forgot My name through Baal worship. (Jeremiah 23:27, Holman)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">How is Paul any different in effect than these prior false prophets in his EFFECT from teaching Jesus' name is "above every other name"?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Finally, Jesus in his prayer to the Father in John's Gospel says He made the Father's name <em><strong>known</strong></em> to His followers. The name Yahweh appeared in the early version of the NT, but was removed due to the non-Biblical doctrine that Yahweh's name should not be spoken for fear one might blaspheme. That is one way to suppress Yahweh's name. The other is to put Jesus' name above Yahweh's name. The net effect is those who do not even know Yahweh's name cannot possibly have "fear" of His Name, and thus arguably do not even know God in the manner God prescribes for the saved. As Revelation 11:18 reads:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">The nations were angry, but Your wrath has come. The time has come for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your servants the prophets, to the saints, and to those<strong><em> who fear Your name</em></strong>, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth. &nbsp;(Rev. 11:18, Holman Christian Standard.)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fdfeff;">Let's follow Jesus' rule to hallow and revere the name of God -- Yahweh -- the name above all names, even above the name of Yahshua-Jesus who conceded Yahweh was greater than Himself.&nbsp;</span></p>
