“I have always felt that one of the obstacles to the Jews at the time accepting Jesus was that he was a bachelor. Uh, Jews have no figures of heroic bachelors.“ Dennis Prager is a Jew. His observation is made at the 4:46 mark in the video.

“6. Origen’s Helpful Suggestion. It was the many-sided genius of Origen that helped to solve the problem. Origen, like Tertullian, was strongly opposed to Monarchianism with its emphasis on monotheism to the exclusion of hypostasianism and tri-personality. Abandoning the view of the Apologists...

It’s not Jesus and the apostles who introduced the non-biblical concept of eternal generation. It’s Origen, in the third century.

It’s everyone’s fate to die. The dead German soldier from your video will be resurrected to life. Briefly or forever is the only question, and that will be decided by the Messiah.

Despite your bold assertion, I believe the New Testament. There is no God besides the Messiah’s.

* Hermann, this is one of those things you spoke about that is not to be taken seriously. I’m following your prescription for dealing with it. Thank you. *

* I haven’t read a lot of Hesse’s writings but, thanks to a conversation I had on the forum last night, I can’t get this comment he made off my mind this morning. *

“God begets God and then God is murdered by Jewish monotheists.” That’ll keep you up when you ought to be down for the night.

“The Lord Christ, and the world that crucified him, are competitors for our hearts.” - John Newton

That’s a good point of agreement between us. I believe that in some sense Jesus is God, but I don’t believe he is God in the same way that you do. Jesus, in my reading and understanding of scripture, is his God’s and my God’s shaliah (agent / representative). A simple explanation of my...

That’s right. The New Testament is written in Greek. The Hebrew Bible was translated from Hebrew to Greek in the Septuagint. The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word elohim is theos (when the meaning of the Hebrew word is singular) or theoi (when the meaning of the Hebrew word is plural.) The...

Yahweh, the God of Israel, the Messiah’s own God, has never been murdered. It is a fiction, at best, to say that he has been.

Jesus is seldom called elohim / theos in scripture and, when he is, he is clearly distinguished from his God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Just as your spirit is you, and my spirit is me, and Jesus’ spirit is him, the Holy Spirit is God. That’s not what Jewish monotheists see in...

To be begotten is to be created. Jesus was begotten by his God. Jesus is more than a body. There is no human person without a body. The angel who spoke with Mary tells us precisely why Jesus is called the Son of God. ”The angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you...

God has said no such thing to me, nor to anyone. The LORD (the standard English convention for rendering the tetragrammaton -the four Hebrew letters which are the personal name of God) has never been murdered by anyone. God cannot die / God cannot be murdered. The human Messiah was executed as...

Speaking to you as a Jewish monotheist who believes that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah, how it works with the miraculous, supernatural, begetting of the Son of God in the womb of the virgin is the same way it worked with God miraculously, supernaturally, bringing the heavens and the...

Moses was a Jewish monotheist. What allegory are you referring to in Genesis? I can agree with that. You don’t believe in Jewish monotheism. I do. Look at your comment from my perspective.

That’s a trinitarian understanding of what the verses - written by Jewish monotheists - mean. Mary was a Jewish monotheist. It wasn’t just a human body that she miraculously conceived in her womb; it was a human person, a male child, Jesus. Who prepared the body for Jesus? Please see the...
