    Jesus is the Son of his God

    He doesn’t understand how the Hebrew word functions. Do you? Everything that I’ve written about the Hebrew word elohim is true and easily verified.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    An example in scripture where the meaning of the Hebrew word elohim is plural. “For all the gods of the nations are idols …” (Psalm 96:5) https://biblehub.com/interlinear/psalms/96-5.htm Hebrew elohim -> English gods. Plural.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Moses is a Jewish monotheist. He plainly believed and taught that elohim as it pertains to the God (Heb. elohim) of Israel is singular. Here is what elohim looks like when rendered in English: Elohim, always plural in form, singular in meaning -> God, or god. Elohim, always plural in form...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Please help me out here. Render the Hebrew word elohim in English for us. What does the word look like in English when it is plural? What does it look like in English when it is singular? “Us“ and “our“ are plural words. I’m not asking about those words. I’m asking about the Hebrew word...

    Jesus submitted to his God

    The apostles saw him, touched him, spoke with him, ate with him, and were taught by him for a period of forty days after he was bodily resurrected from the grave. Good. You’re not reading about a “mere man” but rather a supernaturally begotten Jewish man. Jesus is a unique man, a one of a kind...

    Jesus submitted to his God

    He’s the same person in heaven that he was on the earth. Yes. He hasn’t changed what he believes. A former Baptist preacher was well-known for saying “There’s a Jew sitting at the right hand of God in heaven!” When you read Jesus, do you hear him talking to and about his God? You should...

    Jesus submitted to his God

    I know that feeling. You aren’t the first, nor are you the only one, to feel it. You aren’t alone. It’s the human condition. Why are you not? If I advised you to listen to Jesus the Hindu I wouldn’t be asking you to listen to Jesus of Nazareth. If we take away his Jewish identification, we...

    Jesus submitted to his God

    A suggestion in the meantime: Spend more time reading Jesus. I know you’ve read some. Do you see in your reading that he is a Jew?

    Jesus submitted to his God

    That’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re finding that you aren’t able to commit yet then you shouldn’t. Half-hearted commitment to anything is close to a guarantee of failing. You haven’t progressed to the point yet where you’ve put the Messiah ahead of worldly pleasure. You’re being...

    You don’t want to commit to becoming a Christian? For fear of backsliding?

    @Riven you’re on the cusp of becoming a Christian. You’ll have to learn how to handle this. Would you like to give it a shot now?
