My concept of Jewish monotheism is built on the Messiah‘s sect. It is called the way in scripture, and also the sect of the Nazarenes (Acts 24:5). This thread is about how Jewish monotheism understands “divine visitation” -> agency. That accounts for our difference in understanding. You will...

From my X / Twitter “For you“ feed this afternoon - “ … ‘even Barnabas was led astray.’ Galatians 2:13 Remember to pray for your spiritual heroes in the faith. No one is above being deceived by the tempter’s craftiness. Let us all remain watchful. We are almost Home, but Satan isn’t letting...

The church began as a sect of Judaism. Jesus and the apostles were Jewish monotheists. You aren’t reading scripture like a Jewish monotheist does. That will give you a different perspective on the matter.

Have you picked up yet from what I’ve written that the answer from the perspective of Jewish monotheism is no?

You’re the one who is calling me evil. You’ll have to answer for it, but not to me. You continue to bear false witness against me.

I’m sorry for the confusion caused by my post. All I did was share with you a word search for occurrences of the Greek word ousia in the New Testament. The word is used there but not in the way that the Nicenes use the word. I hope that clears it up. Please let me know if it doesn’t.

Thank you. If I’m not consistent then that would be an issue I would need to correct. I know the truth and this isn’t play time.

“For he who is not against us is for us.” (Mark 9:40, WEB) That is how I think about people like you. Even if it were in my power to condemn you - and to be clear, it isn’t and never will be - I can’t condemn someone who is for us. I have good reason to believe that God, through the Messiah...

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, as someone who is registered “Other Faith“ I’m permitted by the rules - within limits - to openly express my dissent from trinitarianism. Trinitarians are free to condemn me for my conscientious objection to their doctrine...

Yes.

When I pray to the Father, I speak directly to him. When I pray to Jesus, I speak directly to him. I’ve asked him to do something for me or for others but I’ve never told him what to do for me or for others.

Keeping in mind that a shaliah would be someone whom we send to speak the words we give him to speak - our words placed in his mouth - and to act as we direct him to act on our behalf, I would say that he isn’t. To illustrate: I don’t instruct Jesus, “Here is what you are to say to our God and...

I have and I did. That hasn’t been my personal experience. For me, talk has been very expensive. It has cost me dearly, and in multiple ways. I’ve lost family, friends, jobs, raises and more for letting it be known that I’m a ... well, I’ll make an exception this morning from repeating what I...
