    To the only God our Savior

    Me: “The Trinity isn’t the Messiah’s God.” You: “Not so.” ”I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God“ (John 20:17). Who does Jesus say his God is? That should decisively settle the matter between us. Me: “Jesus is a Jewish monotheist.” You: ”Not so.” Do you know...

    Thanks. Mixing ideas from Chinese mythology and Taoism with Jewish writings really complicates comprehension for me.

    To the only God our Savior

    Yahweh isn’t a human parent. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As I mentioned in my last post, he is addressed by his personal name frequently in the Hebrew Bible. Would you say that those who did were being disrespect? No one should ever being drawing attention to themselves when...

    So, you’ve rejected Jesus. Why?

    “The rejection of Jesus is the highest crime against the great King.” - C.H. Spurgeon It won’t incur the death penalty. All are subject to that. Recovery is assured. It will incur the second death penalty. There is no recovery from that. Those who follow Jesus must do what they can can to...

    You aren’t reading scripture written by a Jew about a Jew like a Jew. You’re reading it like a trinitarian.
