    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    “A declaration of Yahweh to my lord …” (Psalm 110:1, LEB) ”A declaration of Yahweh to my Yahweh …” -> an intentional mistranslation of Psalm 110:1. Yahweh isn’t speaking to another Yahweh. Yahweh is speaking in the prophetic oracle to the here unnamed Messiah. (The Messiah is explicitly...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    The trinitarian scholar acknowledges that Jesus wasn’t and isn’t Yahweh. One day you will too @David in NJ. One day everyone will.

    Yahweh doesn’t have a Father. Yahweh is the God and Father of Jesus of Nazareth.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    There is only one YHWH. Jesus is the miraculously begotten Son of YHWH. Elohim plural = gods. When elohim is plural the subject is a group of pagan deities, a group of angels, or a group of human beings. Notice: Elohim is plural = gods, not the Messiah’s God. You’re neither a Jewish...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    The word (logos = dabar) that was in the beginning with YHWH, the Messiah’s God and Father. Isaiah is a Jewish monotheist. His theology isn’t yours, nor is it the theology of the trinitarians whom you mock.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    Shema Yisrael YHWH Eloheinu YHWH Echad. The insertion of “our” in your mixed English / Hebrew translation is superfluous. This is the creed of Judaism and the Messiah’s creed. YHWH is the God and Father - a single self / person - of the Messiah and his disciples. “In the beginning God ( Heb...

    What books are you currently reading?

    * She’s right. If we’re physically unable to read a book, we may be able to listen to it being read by someone else. Be determined. Read through the mouth of others. *

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Feeling that way, why do you continue to exist? It’s not because you have to. “Probably” leaves some room for doubt. Since you mentioned God, we must at least consider it from his perspective. That’s not God’s perspective. God’s perspective: He brought this world into existence and it is...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    The heavily biased (in favor of the Trinity) NIV Study Bible note on Genesis 1:26 - “God speaks as the Creator-King, announcing his crowning work to the members of his heavenly court (see 3:22; 11:7; Isa 6:8; see also 1 Ki 22:19-23; Job 15:8; Jer 23:18.)” Not three deity persons talking to...

    Bible reading plans

    Offered for those who aren’t reading the scriptures daily but want to: make it a habit. “Just start. Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start.” https://x.com/jamesclear/status/1882428202846421150?s=61
