    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...

    Jewish monotheism is applicable to all of the tribes of Israel.

    From the feedback you’ve given me, I don’t think you have. I’m a primitive Christian exactly like I’ve said - and used the concessions of trinitarian scholarship to support - the apostles are. None of the apostles knew anything about Nicene Christianity. That is a constraint of history. Moses...

    Jesus didn’t. I don’t.

    I’m going to drive that point home so hard that no one who hears me will ever forget it. Then you need to read the OP again. He publicly commented that he has placed me on ignore. I didn’t. I’m not a JW. I don’t know what you’re talking about. The only posts of his that I’ve read were...

    I call myself what I am; and what I am is a Jewish monotheist. Elsewhere you will find that I have said that I’m a 1st century Jewish monotheist living in the 21st century. I’m mildly surprised that you haven’t falsely accused me of believing in reincarnation. My theology is Jewish, not...

    What would you do if …

    That’s right. No. God supernaturally created a human person, whom God knew only in his foreknowledge, in Mary. I have never said, nor have I ever believed, that Jesus was an “it”. [Added to make it clear to my readers.] I’m not a Christadelphian. I’m a Jewish monotheist. I’m not a JW. I’m...

    I’m a Jewish monotheist by conversion from trinitarianism. I’ve shared the story of my conversion on this forum, which a search of my posts will document, and on other forums. Jewish monotheism is not the same as monotheism.

    At no point in time, on this forum or on any other, have I ever said that I was born a Jew. I have stated unequivocally that I wasn’t. The last time I did was about two weeks ago, in a public conversation here with a member who was and no longer claims to be a Jew. When will you stop with your...

    That is false. I don’t say anything of the sort. In my Christology, Jesus is brought into existence by God when he is supernaturally begotten by God in the womb of the virgin. Be a man of your word. You said you had nothing further you can say to me and within minutes you do.

    Run that by me again, Moses

    That is false and anyone who takes the time to search my posts will easily find that out for themselves. They won’t have to go back more than a couple of weeks to prove it. If you have nothing more you can say to me then don’t.

    Alright. That was a peculiar conversation you initiated. I also have nothing further to discuss with you at this point.

    Thanks. The closest we can come to agreement then is that there’s nothing like that recorded in the Hebrew Bible and there’s nothing like that recorded in the New Testament. You leave open, apparently, the possibility that it was said by people who lived during New Testament times but no one...

    QUOTE for the day

    “Religion is not confined to devotional exercises, but rather consists in doing all we are called and qualified to do, with a single eye to His glory and will, from a grateful sense of His love and mercy to us.” - John Newton

    Would you be able to agree that no one in the Hebrew Bible and / or in the New Testament said anything like “don’t confuse the persons with their ousia”?
