The question is for those who state that Jesus is the Almighty.
Why the verse is not translated as the Almighty is because the Hebrew does not say Almighty, it says Mighty God. There are two distinct terms, El'Shaddai and El'Gibbor. This therefore begs the question, why if it does not explicitly state Almighty God are people telling me that it ...[text shortened]... the text as something else other than the Almighty, don't you think? Would that not make sense?

all irrelevancy will be ignored.
You believe that Jehovah and Jesus are both gods but you have downgraded one to an angel whilst still being a god and co redemptive saviour with Jehovah. Now, you've got yourself into this doctrinal panty twist, so you get yourself out of it.
Originally posted by RJHindsit matters a great deal to those interested in accuracy and in truth. No they do not mean the same thing, by your own admission its possible to be a mighty god and not the personage of the Almighty God, after all you did state that a god was defined by power or authority, did you not.
Well, God is almighty and mighty by definition. So it matters little which adjective is used. They are both correct and mean the same when referring to God. The only real difference is if you use the Almighty alone as a noun without God. Then we would know that it refers to God alone. Also if you say the almighty One, then we know it refers to God. Or ...[text shortened]... ong with "the God" not "a god" as you like to make out. So it makes no difference in this case.
Perhaps you will tell us why you have ascribed the value of the Almighty to a simple powerful entity like a mighty god.

Originally posted by RJHindsbut you have sad that a god is defined by being powerful, that human judges and satan are termed gods because of their power, surely these are mighty gods but not the personage of God himself?

There can be mighty false gods that are not the True God.
