If you don’t see YHWH (Yahweh) and the Father of Jesus (Iēsous) as antithetical, it may be because you haven’t read the entire Bible, you’re interpreting the texts in a way that downplays the differences, or you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance.

In Eden (Gen 2:7), YHWH enlivened Adam w/ breath of life. Later, He expelled them from the garden to prevent eating from the tree of life (3:22–23). Why did the tree of life have more power to bestow life than YHWH's breath? What more could He give than His breath? If YHWH was Most High, His breath should've provided eternal life at start—but didn't.

“Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 15:7) A merciful Father God who seeks to save.

“Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 9:48) Humility and welcoming the lowly, mirroring the loving Father who values the humble.

“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 11:4) Jesus (Iēsous) emphasised forgiveness, reflecting His Father as a merciful good God distinct from the Old Testament’s wrathful deity.

Irritated by claims that questioning YHWH’s wrathful nature against Jesus’ loving Father is crafting a custom god. Evidence points to Judaizers manipulating texts to merge the two, despite clear contrasts (Deut 20:16-17 vs. Luke 6:35-36). Marcion saw it and Ehrman’s work shows scribal edits buried this too.

What is your best evidence from Jesus himself that YHWH is the Father presented through him?

You can guide someone to the truth of scripture, but you cannot make them see or embrace it for themselves.

"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Evangelion, cf. Matthew 6:33) Prioritise the spiritual over the material and the revelation of a loving Father God.

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.   (Romans 12:9, ESV) This is why we must reject YHWH; I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create evil; I am YHWH, who does all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, ESV)

Only Jesus (Iēsous) reveals the true Father. He made the unknown known. The known, YHWH, was an imposter. A lying murderer, a narcissistic usurper.

"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Evangelion, cf. Luke 12:32) Jesus reassures us of the Father’s gracious gift of a spiritual kingdom emphasising a loving God distinct from Old Testament legalism.
