Not all of them did. This is the flaw in your reasoning. When you speak against Jewish monotheism you speak against the Messiah. That’s an incredibly foolish and dangerous thing to do. ”[Jesus] was a first-century Jewish monotheist.” - N.T. Wright

No. I stand with the Jewish monotheists who are disciples of the Messiah, himself a Jewish monotheist.

“Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.” (James 1:17, NLT)

A question not just for @David in NJ but for all who don’t understand the passages from the perspective of the Messiah’s Jewish monotheism, why don’t you?

I understand all of the passages from the perspective of the Messiah’s Jewish monotheism.

“There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.” - A.W. Tozer

Thanks. *** Let the intelligent reader beware. Anyone who listens to PS95 telling others what I believe and thinks it is accurate has made a mistake.

Do you remember saying that you don’t understand what I believe? It’s a fact that you don’t.

Sometimes, not always. It almost always depends on the length of your post! Words have meaning. I’m informing my readers what meaning the words have to a Jewish monotheist. They don’t always have the same meaning that they do for non-Jewish monotheists. That’s not right. That’s right...

We both know. I bet if you did a search you would find that I started a thread on that subject within the past 48 hours. So do I. Jesus isn’t an it and never has been an it. Jesus has always been a person. Why are you having difficulty understanding that is what I’ve consistently said...

That’s right. I’ve identified who that God is in many threads.

Why don’t you go ahead and start a thread on the topic? The one I have in mind to start will go in a very specific direction (in response to the agnostic).

I was speaking post resurrection of course. Jesus has always been a person. “Coming down from heaven” is a common Hebraic idiom. Evidence, perhaps, of a misspent adulthood. I don’t address all of the passages in all 20,000+ posts. A simple search of my posts would pull up some of them.

What is a typical vision? (I will soon start a thread related to the question. It was suggested to me recently by an agnostic member.) Suffice it to say here that the Messiah’s glorified face was seen in vision.

I would say that’s correct. I assert that such a man can and that Jesus of Nazareth is evidence of that.

Yes. All good things come down from heaven. I don’t say that Jesus had no preexistence. I say that Jesus has a preexistence. I’ve addressed all of these verses - over and over and over again - in other threads.

A good topic for a new thread, wouldn’t you agree? Then let’s discuss Jezebel’s choice of makeup - in another thread devoted to the topic. (What breed of dog gobbled her up? Did her makeup upset their stomachs? I can tell you that it turned mine.) “Pop a JW“ threads are all the rage these...

There are many examples in scripture of man seeing Yahweh in visions. “No one has ever seen God” -> but many have seen God in visions suggests to me that John wasn’t speaking about man seeing Yahweh in visions. It seems to me that this brings us back once again to “no human person“ has yet...
