What is the name above all names?

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

Yes, people who don't know me yet will take in knowledge of me. They will get to know me by finding out things about me---taking in knowledge. Included in that would be associating with me so they get to know me---taking in more knowledge.

I notice you rapidly switched to the warmer more honoring term “get to know you by finding out things about you” and “associating with you” when referring to yourself. Telling.

"Telling" of what? Can you stop dropping little innuendos to insult me and other JWs, and come straight out to say what it is you are actually thinking about? And I don't know what you mean by me "rapidly switching" to a "warmer" term.

If you met someone and chatted with them and they, finding you interesting, wanted more said, “You’re interesting. I’d like to take in knowledge of you,.” you’d realized they don’t want a friendship. They don’t care about you. They don’t want relationship. You’re like a movie they take in, impersonal and for their enrichment. Just so, People who are adherents to your group have no relationship with God. They don’t come to understand Him, they just hope to “take in knowledge,” a cold and remote view of someone.

I don't agree. No one is going to SAY "I want to take in knowledge of you." They will just learn about you as time goes on. JWs do have a fine relationship with God, and better than I ever had with other religions. And we continue to LEARN about Him, as Jesus said we should. (John 17:3)

Yet JWs say that they "take in knowledge of Him," the very thing you say no one will say. That is, there is no personal relationship with God, they just "take in knowledge." But this is a he said, she said exchange. I have to meet a JW who spoke of God in such a way as to demonstrate a personal intimate relationship with the living God. I even doubt they "take in knowledge" as claimed. But that is just my experience.

How can you judge JWs? How can you say that we have no relationship with God? You are smearing a group of people with your own opinions that don't stand up to examination.

I never met one that I liked.

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

.

What is the name above all names?

Jesus Christ has been given a name above every name, and this name also confirms the relationship between the Son of God and His Father.

Here is the mention of the name that is given to Jesus Christ that is above every name…

Ephesians 1:20-22
King James Version
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,”

And again here…

Philippians 2:8-10
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;”

Now here is the name of the Son of God Jesus Christ that is above every name…

Psalm 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”

This confirms the name and the identity of the Son of God as being the Word of God.

Revelation 19:13
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

When you come to understand that the Son of God is the very Word of God made flesh in Jesus, by which also God created all things, then the words of Jesus will make a lot more sense to you when Jesus talks about the relationship between God the Father and Himself.

Peace and Godbless
