Let me put that same question to you: Are you God that you should say what I am and what I am not? I don’t go beyond what is written in scripture; you do. (That’s important for Muslims and Jews to know about us.) And see above.

You are also a person and you think like a person. The Messiah’s creed is of God, his God, not of persons.

Body language is an analogy. The Messiah’s creed is scripture. It isn’t an analogy of his God it is the affirmation, his own confession of faith, that his God is one Lord.

Paul is an apostle. You aren’t, and you’ve gone beyond him; I haven’t. I hope we’re not going to get into your personal experience story again. We’ve been through it a couple of times already and it isn’t going to persuade me. We both know that. Right?

It was your body language analogy. One person, one right hand. That’s the Messiah’s own creed. The Messiah is only one person. So is his God. The creed isn’t about him. It is about his God.

Being a non-trinitarian yourself, you’ve quite naturally taken a non-trinitarian approach to explaining the matter of Jesus submitting himself to his God to non-trinitarian Muslims and Jews. The body language approach is excellent but only if it is done as Paul does it. Paul isn’t teaching his...

God is only one person. That is your analogy. It works exceedingly well with Jewish monotheism. Yet it won’t be effective with Jewish monotheists (nor with Muslims) unless and until you correctly identify who that one person is. Side note: Your analogy won’t be effective with trinitarians...

“The second rule is to read the book. It is not asked that it be studied in the ordinary sense, or memorized, or even sought be understood at first, but simply read. The purpose is to make the task as easy, as natural, and as pleasant as possible. It matters not, for the time being, how rapidly...

Me. I’m only one person. Is God only one person?

“… begin to study it where God began to write it, i.e., at the book of Genesis. … The Bible is wondrously self-interpretive if we will give it an opportunity, and that opportunity is afforded if in its perusal we will wisely and submissively follow the channel marked out by its divine Author.”...

I don’t think that explanation would be well received by a Muslim or a Jew. “The Father is greater than I.” Jesus isn’t the Father. The Father is his God. Other person / other body language.
