But, you said that YHWH and Jesus were one and the same. So is Jesus rebelling against himself? When he says that he has to ascend to his Father and our Father, his G-d and our G-d, does G-d have a G-d?

Well:

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

This was of course talking about:

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

This portion of the Godhead, the word, the messiah...became flesh and dwelt among us. The father portion of the Godhead stayed put.

Sorry Doug, that's implying that Jesus was the Word. It isn't EXPLICITLY stated. Inferences are just that, inferences.

Justin Martyr records that the heathens thought Mercury was the angelic Word of God.

How do we know they weren't right? Are there others that can make that claim? Why did the early christians borrow so much from heathens?
