    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Thank you. I agree. Now maybe they‘ll listen to you and change their minds. For their sakes, I hope so. They’re teaching that he wasn’t in this very thread. See for yourself.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    You can confirm what I said is the truth by looking it up in a standard Hebrew language Lexicon. We can also do this: Pick out any verse of your choosing in the Hebrew Bible where you think the Hebrew word elohim, when applied to the God of Israel, is rendered plural in English. I’ll prove to...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Why didn’t you answer my question @JLB? It’s easy and straightforward: Do you agree with the “Christian” members who are teaching us that Jesus wasn’t a Jew? Phrased another way, Do you believe Jesus was a Jew?

    If you don’t [want?] to see my posts then what are we even doing here? I’ve already answered your question.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    The answer is simple. The Hebrew word elohim is always plural in form but may be either singular or plural in meaning depending on the context. When the subject is the God of Israel, the word is always singular in meaning.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    No. I’ve written so much about the Hebrew word elohim on this forum that I would have to rank it near the top of the subjects I’ve addressed. Neither one. Please see my posts on the Jewish law of agency. While I’ve got your attention, do you agree with the “Christian” members who are...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    The Jesus who is a Jewish monotheist is the Son of his God. Your description is the classical post-biblical formulation. It’s incompatible with Jewish monotheism, as I’m sure you’re aware. The logos of the Messiah’s God is what became flesh in Jewish monotheism. I directed another member to...

    Should a non-Christian have Christian friends?

    I’m certain that he’s a Muslim. I went to the mosque with him and met privately with the Imam. A Muslim acting like a Christian. For what purpose, I wonder. Thanks. I value your opinion. Some Christians have told me the same thing that you have. But some Christians have told that it’s not...

    Should a non-Christian have Christian friends?

    I appreciate you sharing that perspective with me. I discussed this particular Sura with a Muslim. His understanding of it was different from yours. I’ll take that into consideration. The Muslim treated me better than my best Christian friend at the time did. (He had my back when my best friend...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    Christianity. That’s right. Christianity and Judaism went their separate ways late in the 1st century. I’ve already dealt with that. Most Jews in the 1st century didn’t. (Many did.) Most Jews today still don’t.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    I’m very interested in the history of Bible translations. You need it if you want to see the answer to your question for yourself. I posted a link to it for you but I can’t force you to read it.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    I would deal with it by pointing out that they aren’t speaking about the Messiah’s sect of Judaism.

    How can you make a decision one way or the other when you haven’t read it yourself? http://www.genevabible.org/geneva.html

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    You’ll learn something important by reading what Bible Gateway calls “a superb translation”. So did the translators of the Geneva Bible.
