Identitas YHWH dalam Diri Kristus: Kritik Eksegetis terhadap Tesis Kristologis Seminar Logos

The central doctrine of Christianity affirms that Jesus Christ is God, who in theological orthodoxy is understood to be identical with YHWH. However, this view has been challenged by groups such as the Logos Seminar, which argues that Jesus is not YHWH and is not equal to Him. Although several critiques of this minority position exist, systematic academic studies that compare their claims with intertextual exegesis of the Old and New Testaments remain scarce, leaving a gap in scholarly discussion. This article seeks to address that need by evaluating the thesis of the Logos Seminar through a qualitative method employing biblical theology and canonical hermeneutics. The analysis is conducted exegetically and comparatively in order to assess the core postulates of the Logos Seminar against the textual and typological witness of Scripture. The findings demonstrate fundamental differences between the claims of the Logos Seminar and the biblical data. Exegetical analysis of key passages such as John 1:1, John 8:58 (the ego eimi context), Philippians 2:9–11, and Hebrews 1:8 confirms that Jesus Christ bears divine titles, attributes, and roles that are identical with those of YHWH. Furthermore, intertextual analysis reveals consistent parallels both functionally and ontologically between YHWH and Jesus. The study concludes that the thesis “Jesus is not YHWH” lacks a solid exegetical foundation. The primary contribution of this article is to offer a comparative analytical framework for evaluating similar theological claims while enriching the discourse on Christology in Indonesia with more systematic biblical arguments.
