He’s confident that I haven’t done what I’ve done. I’m confident that “Yahweh is Vishnu” cannot be connected with anything said by Moses and Jesus.

I spoke recently to someone else on the forum about the importance of knowing our audience. This is something I needed to know about you. My only regret is that I didn’t see it earlier. Thanks.

Can you be specific about which responses you’re referring to? What threads are they found in? I’m a Jewish monotheist. It’s impossible for me to separate Jesus from Moses. I wouldn’t have asked if it were pointless. You’re losing your audience. A term you apparently made up. I haven’t...

I was going to ask him that too. I didn’t because he said in post #106, “We don’t know exactly what Jesus believed.” He still might offer speculation about what Jesus believed. I’m just not big on speculation. Given what he has said, he might logically say that when Jesus read what Moses wrote...

I’m thinking along those lines as well, and have been since I listened to a long ago delivered sermon titled “The Hinting God”. The trinitarian pastor who preached it caused me to think deeply about the premise.

In that regard, let’s start with Jesus. I believe he is a real character. Not only a real character, but a real character who said we should believe what Moses wrote about him.

Which I gather means that you think Moses was a fictional character. I believe Moses is a non-fictional character.

We have to listen to Jesus. That’s the only way to become one of his disciples.

I don’t think most would, but what about you? Do you think Moses was “a fictional character created by merging different characters into one”?

Jesus tells us what he believes. Jesus wasn’t a Pharisee or a Sadducee. Jesus was the head of, the founder of, the sect known as Nazarene.
