I’m a good listener. I’ll be around if you’d like to tell me about Jesus and the things of God. You have my ear.

* Yeah, but only behind my back. *

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. *** A word now to wise readers. What this man brazenly asserted about me isn’t true. I’ve never been, nor will I ever be, a relativist. Anyone who knows me knows that. Decide for yourselves. I don’t have anything further to say about his...

All commentary is opinion. I’ve read yours. As with all commentary, I accept what I’m persuaded is correct and reject what I’m persuaded is incorrect. I also read something the other day that helped me and I’m sure will help others: “The blood of the Lamb silences the accuser.” - D.A. Carson

Others have been and are persuaded. Success. Let everyone be convinced in his or her own mind.

I’ve previously shown you from scripture, church history, and trinitarian scholarship that it is.

Dr. Witherington doesn’t reject the deity of Christ. I’ve spoken about that elsewhere. Among other things, I was a professor of theology and taught historical orthodox trinitarianism to college students.

I affirm Moses typology. You will find - as I’m sure you must have in the years you’ve been speaking with people about John’s Gospel - some unitarians, binitarians and of course trinitarians who will agree with your comment. It isn’t compatible with Jewish monotheism.

Dr. Witherington is a “true“ trinitarian. There are other “true” trinitarians who agree with him that Jesus wasn’t and isn’t Yahweh. I’ve quoted some of them on the forum. I’m not. I’m an ex-trinitarian. I’m now, and have been for many years, a Jewish monotheist, a Dynamic Monarchian; not a...

We’ve already discussed this. You see two persons (why not three persons?) in John 1:1. A Jewish monotheist sees only one person in John 1:1. Yes.

I’ve commented on this many times here over the past three years. The thing that is somewhat unique in your comment is your suggestion that the Triune God isn’t (or may not be) one being but multiple beings. That’s something for the trinitarians to address. I’m a Jewish monotheist, not a...

That’s right. But that is not a claim by Jesus that he himself is Yahweh. There is a functional equality of Jesus with Yahweh. His enemies did recognize that was what he was claiming. Jesus didn’t make himself God. Yahweh himself made Jesus God to them, and to everyone.

Yes. Southern Baptist. I was raised in the denomination and still keep tabs on it.
