Do you know what alpha and omega means? I sure don't. Do you know if Alpha and Omega is a unique phrase or one that can apply to more than one person? I sure don't because I don't even know what an "Alpha and Omega" is.

So before you can say there is only 1 alpha and omega first you must know what the phrase means and then there must be some kind of uniqueness associated with it such that it can only apply to one person. I don't think you can show either and so basing a doctrine about who Jesus is off the phrase alpha and omega is more like grasping for straws. Especially when verse 8 clearly tells us who is speaking, the Lord. (You know God?)
