Jesus Christ is the Triune YHWH
Why is it important to apply the name Jesus Christ to the Trinity and not just the man?
“….no man can say that Jesus is the Lord (YHWH), but by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 12:3
“Jesus Christ” is a composite name made up of the personal name “Jesus” (from Gk Iēsous, which transliterates Heb/Aram yēšû (a)ʿ, a late form of Hebrew yĕhôšûaʿ, the meaning of which is “YHWH is salvation” or “YHWH saves/has saved”) and the title, assimilated in early Christianity to Jesus as a name, “Christ” (from Gk Christos, which translates Heb māšı̂aḥ and Aram mĕšı̂ḥāʾ, signifying “anointed” and referring in the context of eschatological expectation to the royal “son of David”).
The name “Jesus Christ” thus binds together the historic figure Jesus with the messianic role and status that early Christian faith attributed to him. In Jesus’ own lifetime, his name, since it was common in Israel, called for a specifier: “Jesus the Galilean” (Matt 26:69; cf.21:11), or, more often, “Jesus of Nazareth” or “Jesus the Nazarean.”

Therefore, any who profess that YHWH (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) has not came in the flesh is an Anti-Christ; “And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.” 1 John 2:22 (NLT)
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:9
Isaiah 40:3
3 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.
Matthew 3:3
3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Numbers 21:6
6 And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
1 Corinthians 10:9
9 Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.
Genesis 2:4
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.
John 1:3
3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
