Question by Bassists Lioness Unsilenced: Jehovahs witnesses: How do you reconcile Jesus being referred to as “Eternal Father” in Isaiah?

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

What is there to reconcile? The guy gave his opinion and I have no objection to it. Reconcile it with what?

Answer by Blahnii
Adam should have been mankind’s ‘father’. . he failed miserably by rejecting Gods rulership.
We have the death sentence he foisted upon us as his legacy.

Jesus on the other hand, stepped in to live as a man to prove to Satan that Jehovah God was worthy of our loyalty . . he lived and died faithful, thereby proving Satans accusation in Job chapter 2 that a man WAS capable of being faithful to God.

Once Jesus died faithful . . his sacrifice was enough to redeem mankind and give us a new lease on life . . it is sort of like he is our ‘Queens Counsel” or Barrister in the Supreme Court. He speaks to defend us (those who put faith in him) Christians.
He is now our protector in Jehovahs eyes. He will be until mankind is finally brought back to physical, mental and spiritual perfection that equals what our failed ‘father’ Adam lost.

Revelation chapter 20
