**The Old Testament identifies YHWH as "our Father", the Creator.**
Is this ***"Father"***- the first person of the Trinity, God the Father? **Is he YHWH, the God of Israel?**
Malachi 2:10
>Have we not all ***one Father***?
Has not ***one God*** created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?
Isaiah 64:8
>But now, O **YHWH**,
You are our ***Father***;
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
Isaiah 63:16
>Doubtless You are our ***Father***,
Though Abraham was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
**You, O *YHWH*, are our *Father***;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
Deuteronomy 32:6
>Do you thus deal with **YHWH**,
O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not your ***Father***, who bought you?
Has He not made you and established you?
John 8:41
>Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; ***we have one Father—God***.”
Jesus declares his Father to be the same God as the Jews, YHWH.
John 8:54
>Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is ***My Father*** who honors Me, of whom you say that **He is your God**."
Paul appears to feel the same way.
2 Timothy 1:3
>I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, **as my forefathers did**, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,
Ephesians 4:6
>one God and **Father** of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
