Thank you. I have.

I’ve dealt elsewhere with the Hebrew word elohim (which is always plural in form but can be either singular or plural in meaning - God: singular vs. gods: plural) and Genesis 1:26 (which, as a Jewish monotheist who believes Jesus is the Messiah, I understand as the author of Genesis would have...

What @Bill Downie stated in post #31 aligns very well with what the Catholic writer Edmund J. Fortman said in his book, The Triune God: A Historical Study of the Doctrine of the Trinity. “[The New Testament writers] give us in their writings a triadic ground plan and triadic formulas. They do...

The signature you arrived at is that of the Father, the God of Jewish montheism; the Messiah’s God and Father. What you’re calling the Trinity only looks like a triad to me. That’s an important point you’re making. I hope others won’t rush past it. What you stated so well with this comment is...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning - “Now that’s a warning for young men. Especially if you’re on X that used to be called Twitter. Don’t get into theological arguments on that thing. They‘re horrible. A theological argument needs a couple of hundred pages, not 240 words, or 280...

You arrived at Jewish monotheism.

Thank you, Father.

* I rewatched a documentary on these women just last week. It was before my time but I find myself thinking about them often. I wish I could have been there and seen them in person. *

“Paul got snakebitten, shipwrecked, beaten, and jailed ... and still kept preaching. Most people quit after a bad comment. This man wrote the Bible in chains.” - Jason Robinson

I had planned earlier today to use this quote for another purpose this evening but I’ve decided to post it here instead. “Lot’s wife looked back ... and became a pillar of salt. Some of you can’t move forward because you keep trying to revisit what God rescued you from.” - Jason Robinson I...

Believing that he has delivered you from virtually everything, persuaded that it is true, you shouldn’t be afraid.

I would place it a little earlier, perhaps at the start of his ministry, but where you have located it is in the general time frame. As I read the passage, it was the Father who spoke to us through the prophets. It is still the Father who is speaking to us in these last days, but now through...

If you changed your mind and turned away from whatever the issue was, you know that you have. Yes. We’re instructed in scripture to examine ourselves. That sounds genuine to me. I think you would know if it was or not. If you’re no longer doing what you utterly regretted having done in the...

Thank you. I’m a man of my word, even though I was technically released from my promise to them. When do you think “these last days” started? Where ever you locate it in time, God wasn’t speaking to us by his Son before then. He is. His words recorded for us in scripture are spirit and...

Be certain of your repentance. If / when you are, you are a new creation in Messiah Jesus. You should take great comfort in that thought and let go of the fear.

If I was in your place I would ask myself if I was any of those things. If I was, I would repent. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be afraid. Dreams don’t always have meanings. Ten years is a long time to live in fear. If I may, that’s not what Jesus wants for his disciples. ”Be not afraid” is a...

I stood up against a corrupt mayor and lost my job. I was unemployed for 13 months but finally found employment in Atlanta, Georgia. My wife’s parents weren’t happy that I was going to take their daughter (and only grandchild at the time) so far away from them (about 425 miles). I promised them...

What are you afraid of, pet?
