    Biblical Mary reply to behold

    The author of The Battle Plan makes an interesting observation about Catholics pushing their friends to convert: “STOP IMMEDIATELY” All caps and bold. He wants their undivided attention. He may or may not have theirs but he has mine. Tell me more. “Stop PUSHING your friend to convert. Start...

    To the only God our Savior

    For those who are interested in discussion, not drowning, I forge on with Fortman. ”An imminent historian of the dogma of the Trinity has said that ‘what he has looked for in the inspired books of both Testaments is not the rule of our faith, but the expression of the faith of their authors...

    An old habit of those who have lost, if they ever had it to begin with, interest in real dialogue is unfolding before our eyes in this thread: Drown out the Jewish monotheist. Bury him under an avalanche of posts, massive in both size and quantity. It is happening because the trinitarian doing...

    Finally, back to Fortman and his historical study of the doctrine of the Trinity. “Trinitarianism for trinitarians.” But it isn’t just for trinitarians. It is written, by a trinitarian, which I will document, for the benefit of everyone. It is something which the trinitarian clergy should do. As...

    To the only God our Savior

    As with the ambiguity of the Jewish Voice, Messianic Judaism, is a modern day phenomena. Paul would have some harsh words for both branches of it. Beware. In the words of an old 1960’s song lyric: “It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world”. Satan appears as an angel of light. He’s not. He...

    It should be obvious to readers but may not be. It can be confusing, as unbelieving Jewish monotheists point out. The Jewish Voice ministry is not the voice of Jewish monotheism. (The voice of Jewish monotheism is unitarian.) It is the voice of a Jew who converted from Jewish monotheism...

    To the only God our Savior

    Before I return to Fortman I want to bring something else to the attention of my readers. I spoke in post #195 about the voice of 1st century Jewish monotheism, the voice of primitive Christianity. There is a ministry called Jewish Voice. Here is a link to it, for those who are (or might be)...

    To the only God our Savior

    “The voice of the early Christians has not been disbelieved but simply not heard at all.” (N.T. Wright, Surprised By Joy, p. xii) The context of his comment is concerning the early Christian belief about death and beyond. I’m taking it out of context here and I have a duty, a responsibility...

    “Remember your leaders, who spoke God’s word to you. Look carefully at how their lives reached the goal, and imitate their faith. Jesus the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:7-8, NTFE) The leaders whom the author of Hebrews is speaking about were 1st century Jewish...

    To the only God our Savior

    4th century trinitarianism isn’t 1st century Jewish monotheism. Anyone who would sincerely tell us that it is, is someone who doesn’t know anything about theology, nor about Church history. I encourage all of my readers to read theology, including post-biblical theology, and to read Church...

    To the only God our Savior

    “Jesus’ beliefs, therefore, remained those of a first-century Jew, committed to the coming kingdom of Israel’s god. He did not waver in his loyalty to Jewish doctrine. But his beliefs were those of a first-century Jew who believed that the kingdom was coming in and through his own work. His...

    To the only God our Savior

    Outreach Judaism is a ministry of unbelieving Jewish monotheists. I reject them, not Jewish monotheism. They are anti-Jesus; I am pro-Jesus. It is important that my readers understand the distinction.

    To the only God our Savior

    There is a massive and serious difference between Jewish monotheists and the others. Gregory of Nyssa. Remember Gregory of Nyssa. Never forget his words. Share them with as many people as you possibly can - “Jewish monotheism is heresy” and trinitarianism “destroys the Jewish dogma.”
