why do we believe the Angel of the Lord is God Himself? Usually this means that God is present. in Zechariah, the actions of the angel are considered Gods actions. Sometimes angels are judges.

In Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, Louis Goldberg writes: “The functions of the angel of the Lord in the Old Testament prefigure the reconciling ministry of Jesus. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the angel of the Lord; the Messiah himself is this person.”

God is also omnipresent, able to be everywhere at once. Therefore, he can and does, appear as an angel on earth, while also still being present everywhere else simultaneously, overseeing His creation.

The name Jesus is derived from the Hebrew name Yeshua/Y’shua, which is based on the Semitic root y-š-ʕ (Hebrew: ישע‎), meaning “to deliver; to rescue.” Likely originating in proto-Semitic (yṯ’), it appears in several Semitic personal names outside of Hebrew, like in the Aramaic name Hadad Yith’i, meaning “Hadad is my …

Yahshua is a proposed transliteration of the original Hebrew name of Jesus of Nazareth, considered by Christians and Messianic Jews to be the Messiah. The name means Yahweh (Yah) is salvation (Shua). There is nearly universal consensus that Jesus’ original name was Yeshua.

Old Testament In the Hebrew Bible, in Isaiah 63:16 (JP) it reads: “For You are our father, for Abraham did not know us, neither did Israel recognize us; You, O [YHWH], are our father; our redeemer of old is your name.” To God, according to Judaism, is attributed the fatherly role of protector.

The term “God’s number” is sometimes given to the graph diameter of Rubik’s graph, which is the minimum number of turns required to solve a Rubik’s cube from an arbitrary starting position (i.e., in the worst case). Rokicki et al.

2 The literal definition of “atheist” is “a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods,” according to Merriam-Webster. And the vast majority of U.S. atheists fit this description: 81% say they do not believe in God or a higher power or in a spiritual force of any kind.

God acts in the world. He created the universe and he sustains it in existence. God’s sustaining the universe in its existence at each moment is what keeps the universe existing from moment to moment.

In Aristotle’s Metaphysics, there are four causes of existence or change in nature: the material cause, the formal cause, the efficient cause and the final cause.

A cosmological argument, in natural theology, is an argument which claims that the existence of God can be inferred from facts concerning causation, explanation, change, motion, contingency, dependency, or finitude with respect to the universe or some totality of objects.

The cause is God, the effect is the world. Aquinas stated that this cause (which is outside our world) is the first cause – that is, the one that started everything. Aquinas argued that this first cause must have no beginning – that is, nothing caused it to exist because the first cause is eternal.

So the cosmological argument is neither a valid argument in requiring the truth of its conclusion nor is it a satisfactory argument to prove the existence of any being that would have awareness of the existence of the universe or any event within it.

St Thomas Aquinas

First cause, in philosophy, the self-created being (i.e., God) to which every chain of causes must ultimately go back. The term was used by Greek thinkers and became an underlying assumption in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

In Aquinas’s system, God is that paramount perfection. Aquinas’s fifth and final way to demonstrate God’s existence is an argument from final causes, or ends, in nature (see teleology). Again, he drew upon Aristotle, who held that each thing has its own natural purpose or end.

The cosmological argument is an attempt to prove the existence of God by the fact that things exist. It assumes that things must have a cause, and that the chain of causes can only end by a supernatural event. The universe exists, so there must be something that caused the universe.
