My response to what you’ve written is in post #340.

In every Jewish group. That’s okay. You said it all when you said (in post # 350) “I do not care if my form of monotheism is the monotheism of Israel or not.”

The videos I posted was in response to a comment made by a trinitarian member. He said that the Jews changed the scriptures, replacing the word echad with the word yachid. They didn’t. All of the videos were made by Jews who do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth, himself an observant Jew, is the...

The history of Israel also contains good. The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible of Jewish monotheists. It contains the scriptures which Jesus and the apostles had access to. No. I posted that there were no Christians in Old Testament days. Unbelieving Jews are Israel. Believing...

There were not. The Jews were not trinitarians. Moses the trinitarian is a fiction. Moses the Jewish monotheist is a fact.

Of course it does. It always has. Jewish monotheism is grounded in the history of Israel and the early church. He was stoned, beaten and hated by unbelieving Jews, not by believing Jews.

Well done. Beginning with the New Testament is difficult because in doing so we lose the base that it sits on- the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. Matthew gave us a quick refresher. I think it makes sense to continue our trial by reading Matthew 2 next, later today. It has 23 verses and we should...

I’m not arguing with Paul. Like Jesus, his monotheism is the monotheism of Israel which you don’t care about.

No. I’m alluding to trinitarian scholars who identify Jesus as the ideal, perfect, sinless, Israelite.

I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t know.

You should. It‘s the Messiah’s form of monotheism. Your form monotheism is post-biblical. If you are persuaded that the church got it right when it gradually moved away from the monotheism of Israel then your right where you should be. Jesus is the ideal Israelite. He didn’t get anything...

Keep chasing your tail. I’ve documented using trinitarian sources and scripture that the Messiah’s God is the one God of Israel. The Messiah himself is God, only within the constraints of Jewish monotheism. Jesus monotheism is the monotheism of Israel. Your form of monotheism is not.

No one has made that formulation. The Messiah’s God is Yahweh. Yahweh wasn’t influenced by anyone. He was.

The founder of Christianity is Jesus of Nazareth. You will see if will that his creed is the creed of Judaism. God is not Jewish. The Messiah is Jewish. You know that the Messiah’s God is only one person. You know that is the fundamental belief of Jewish unitary monotheism.

If you believe that Jesus was influenced by Hellenism then please say it plainly.

No, I would not. I do not and never have had any form of OCD. What you asked tells me a lot about you. Thank you. What that tells me is that you have a deficient knowledge of church history / Christianity. The founder of Christianity is Jewish. His religion is Judaism, which has been...

I had no intention of quoting it again in this thread but due to the comment about an alleged connection of yachid with the Shema by the Jews, I am going to post it in this thread. “1. The one God. (a) theos is the most frequent designation of God in the NT. Belief in the one, only, and unique...

Here is the bottom line, no matter what a believing or an unbelieving Jew might say. Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, Son of the living God, must have the final word. The Shema is the creed, his creed, about his God. His God is echad. There is no plurality in the God and Father of the lord Jesus...

Welcome back @2bme. You’ve been away for a long time. I was becoming concerned about you. It’s good, and a relief, to see you posting again.
