    To the only God our Savior

    I’m a Jewish monotheist. John is a Jewish monotheist. The history of the doctrine of the Trinity is easy to trace. Yes. Jewish monotheism. It’s such an elementary historical point that it’s a concession by trinitarian scholars. I quoted J.A.T. Robinson as an example. That’s a trinitarian...

    To the only God our Savior

    I interpret all scripture with the eyes and mind of Jewish monotheism. The entire Bible is written by Jewish monotheists. Interpreting with the eyes and mind of a Jewish monotheist is consistent and reasonable, I would say. You interpret the same scripture but with the eyes and mind of a...

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    I already have. In fact, I’ve done so in conversation with you multiple times in multiple threads over the past few days. My only purpose for even mentioning it in this thread was to alert newbies to it.

    To the only God our Savior

    No. The primitive Christians didn’t know anything about the doctrine of the Trinity. They didn’t change John’s Gospel in any way. Fortman does a good job of explaining how we came to have the doctrine of the Trinity. No one changed the Gospel of John (or any other of the New Testament or Old...

    To the only God our Savior

    Thank you. I won a bet. The only God John believes in is the Messiah’s God: one person, the Father. There were no trinitarians in biblical history. The history of doctrine of the Trinity is post-biblical. “John the trinitarian” isn’t an historical figure; “John the Jewish monotheist” is.

    To the only God our Savior

    The primitive Christians were Jewish monotheists. The gospel of John is written by a Jewish monotheist. The only God in Jewish monotheism is the Messiah’s God. Christianity gradually departed from the faith of the primitive Christians. That’s the history that I’ve been discussing.

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    A suggestion to newbies: use a Concordance to look up the phrase -> “the gospel of God”. Scripture doesn’t speak about -> “the gospels of God”. There is only one gospel. Anyone who preaches or teaches “another gospel / a different gospel” is preaching and teaching a false gospel and is...

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    I would stress to newbies that there is only one gospel and only one kingdom. The Messiah and all of the apostles preached it. Dispensationalism doesn’t recognize the shorthand used in scripture for the one gospel.
