Jesus was taught, served and worshipped the same God as Israel= a single being God-YHVH(Jehovah).
What do you make of this? Orthodox or heterodox?

Acts 24:5
“We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world.
He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect

Acts 24:14
However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way,
which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,

Jesus is the God of Israel. God of the Bible.

I read this somewhere:

Luke 1:68
68 "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,

Nazarene sect= The 1 single religion that Jesus began. Just 1.

YHVH or YHWH (Jehovah ) is the God Israel. And like it says in Isaiah- I am Jehovah besides ME ( not we or us) there is no other God= bible truth, Undeniable fact. He is the Father. He is Jesus' God as well-John 20:17-Rev 3:12-- 2Cor 1:3-Eph 1:3- Col 1:3--1Pet 1:3= The Father is Jesus' God. What do you do throw all these bible truths away to believe false dogma out of altered and error filled translations, and false reasonings on matters?

Why do you keep adding "Jehovah"? Did your Watchtower masters command you?

Jehovah wants his name known and used. Jesus wants his Fathers name known and used-Thus every true follower wants Goods name known and used. The mislead stand in opposition to that name.

Goods name? No wonder you preach Jehovah. Give us some Scripture that says "Jehovah"!!!

Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist?)​

Let me see, I think I'll ask one of the four living creatures around the Throne; they appear to have qualifying characteristics. :IDK:

[...]

So, was Jesus orthodox?

John was called "John the Baptist", so when He baptised Jesus, that identified that He trusted Baptists. However, to fulfil the Law in relation to Baptism you have to do more than "trust" - Jesus fulfilled the Law, in going to the Cross, therefore He was able to identify as something greater than Baptist-in-word-only. I think this was the will of God, because it gave everybody a chance, to be something great in the faith - God doesn't refuse to "trust you" before you are baptised, therefore it is possible to trust God more than with Baptism alone.

That is sort of my point here.
Of what value is orthodox, and of what harm is unorthodox?
These are typically just labels used to discredit others.

But Christians are quick to rally around a topic asking if Universalism is orthodox.
The implication being, that Universalism is UNorthodox, and therefore bad.

So, was Jesus orthodox?

Or Baptist? - LOL

Orthodoxy-
Soundness of faith; a belief in the genuine doctrines taught in the Scriptures.

Understanding -
Scriptures IS the teaching of KNOWLEDGE.
Gods (infinite) KNOWLEDGE was/ is taught, little by little, bit by bit…

CAVEAT-
Which means, MUCH of Gods KNOWLEDGE Remains Secret to manKind…UNTIL…if, when, God Reveals His Knowledge To manKind.

Thereafter, manKIND, (through an individuals own FREEWILL, can hear, learn, study, believe, ignore, reject… throughout his own lifetime…natural aging, immature or mature.)

Notice-
Deut.. 29:
[29] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Example-
of a challenge, asking for information, a person already “knows” Is “secret”…. (And not their right to know).

Judg 13:
[17] And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?

Judg 13:
[18] And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

Patience-
Luke 8:
[17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Reality-
Over the course of decades, centuries, little by little, bit by bit, Gods Knowledge has been revealed to men…

And over the course of decades, (some) men have undermined, corrupted, superseded, minced, promoted, encouraged, attempted to normalize…
Lies to be Taught and accepted as Truths…
AND:
Favors, honors, rewards, trophies, accolades doled out to those who willingly Accept Lies as Truths.

Bottom line-
Regardless of the “accolade's” attached to an individual (PhD, expert, famous, wealthy, important title holder, blah, blah…)
Everyone-
Is influenced, and or possessed by a higher power than manKind.

Glory to God,
Taken

I read this somewhere:

Luke 1:68
68 "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,
Romans 3
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
