Psalm 118:24-29 NWT
“This is the day that Jehovah has made; Let us rejoice and be overjoyed in it. Please, O Jehovah, do grant salvation! Please, O Jehovah, do grant success! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Jehovah. We wish you success from the house of Jehovah. Jehovah is God, and he gives us light. Bind the festal sacrifice with ropes, All the way to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I will praise you. You are my God, I will exalt you. O give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, For his loyal love endures forever.”
Who is the Psalmist saying "You are my God" to?
Psalm 35:22-24 NWT
You have seen it, O Jehovah. Do not be silent. O Lord, do not be far from me. Awake and rouse yourself for my judgment, For my cause, O my God and my Lord. Judge me according to your righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And do not let them rejoice over me.
Who is the Psalmist saying "O my God and my Lord" to?
John 20:27-29 NWT
Then he said to Thomas: “Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick it into my side, and stop doubting but believe.” In answer Thomas said to him: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him: “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.”
Who is Thomas saying "My Lord and my God" to?
Keep in mind that Thomas was a practicing Jew that would be familiar with the Old Testament...
Jehovah is the only God that an Israelite can worship and confess.
Thomas, an Israelite, worshipped Jesus as his Lord and God.
How can Thomas's confession be acceptable unless Jesus is Jehovah God in the flesh?
