Does Isaiah 9 6 say Jesus is God?

Jesus introduced the Father as the only true God. Therefore, at all times, the Father in heaven is the only true God. He is the Mighty God referred to in Isaiah 9:6 and not Jesus. A glaring example of this is the NKJV rendition of Isaiah 9:6: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

mercy seat
According to the Hebrew Bible the kaporet (Hebrew: הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת‎ ha-kappōreṯ) or mercy seat was the gold lid placed on the Ark of the Covenant, with two cherubim beaten out of the ends to cover and create the space into which Yahweh was said to appear.

Is the Mighty God on whom they are to call Jehovah?

Thus, even standing on its own, Isaiah 9:6 is rather clear that the Mighty God on whom they are to call is Jehovah and not some lesser god that would by definition be a false god since there is only one true God and never will be another. Still, Isaiah didn’t stop writing at 9:6.

Is ‘mighty God’ the correct translation of Isaiah 9?

If Evangelists keep on insisting that ‘Mighty God’ is the correct translation for Isaiah 9:6, then they have to be consistent and also apply the same criteria for Ezekiel 32:21, and write ‘Mighty Gods’ instead of ‘Mighty Warrior’ for the heathen Kings.

Does Isaiah 9 prove that Jesus is divine?

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in God?

Jehovah’s Witnesses, however, contend that the Messiah is not really called God here, at least not in the sense that biblical Christians mean because He is called mighty God rather than almighty God. They will concede that Jesus is a “god” in the sense of being a very powerful, spiritual being, but He is not Jehovah, the one and only almighty God.
