Donna,I finally was able to get word to launch again without crashing.Also, I have not been feeling too good for the past few weeks, so I'm very sorry for taking as long as I did to respond.Thank you for your patience!
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:(Too often this is preached as, the LORD our God is one God, but that is not what is says.It’s closer to saying, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.Jehovah, the LORD, is the identity of the Godhead, not the identity of part of the Godhead.The Son is as much Jehovah, the LORD, as the Father.This can be seen by comparing the old testament with the new:)
