Post #102I never would say that I believe that there are two Almighty Gods. I am absolutely convinced that there is one Almighty God, YHWH, as Jesus himself said at John 17:3, and is also made clear at Psalm 83:18 (in the KJV and many other versions).

I believe that is not monotheist.
In Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is one in the nature of God, in three persons.
Father as Lord : Acts 4:29
Jesus as Lord : 1 Cor 1:2
Holy Spirit as Lord : John 6:63 the Spirit gives life.(NIV) and the Lord is that Spirit. (2Cor 3:17)
Lexicon of Lord as "supreme in authority" if applied to the Father, why can't it be applied to the Son and Holy Spirit?
NT:2962
kurios (koo'-ree-os); from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Mr. (as a respectful title):
KJV - God, Lord, master, Sir.

And, for one last thought here, I have discussed with people who said they were Christian and yet they believed in three Gods. I asked: Is the Father God? The answer: Yes
Is the Son God? Yes
Is the Holy Spirit God? Yes
That is a belief in three Gods, I would dare say.

It is not applied to the Son and the Holy Spirit because the Son is not Almighty (I Corinthians 11:3) but is subservient to the Father, and the Holy Spirit is just God's force---Jehovah's will being carried out. Psalm 83:18 shows us who is supreme in authority (see the King James Version).

Rev 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
KJV
Revelation 1:18 refers to Jesus, and if you look at an Interlinear version it shows that "the First and the Last" is not spelled out as "Alpha and Omega," therefore, it is a different first and last than Alpha and Omega. There is no "Almighty" in this verse. (The "First" is referring to the Firstborn, not the Alpha. And it lines up with Colossians 1:18, that Christ is the "head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he might become the one who is first in all things.") Where is "Almighty" in this verse? And look at the Interlinear translation. There is a difference between "First and Last" and "Alpha and Omega." "First and Last" means something entirely different than "Alpha and Omega." It is an error on the part of any version that renders the two sets of words as the same. (The KJV and NIV and NASB and NAB and others got it right. They don't translate "First and Last" as "Alpha and Omega.)
