I was once permanently banned from an online forum after making only one post. The post was in an “Introduce Yourself” section on that forum. I reckon that it must have happened around 20 years ago. I said hello, my name is, and I’m a Jewish monotheist, looking forward to speaking with you...

Why did you like my post #529? I said nothing of my own in the post. I quoted Psalm 110:1 using the Amplified Bible. (The one whom you urged me to “kiss and make up” with has said repeatedly that it is false.) *** Just as an aside, a word to all of my readers. The Shema, the creed of Judaism...

This is a spinoff from another thread where the conversation drifted off topic and onto the subject of what language(s) Jesus and the apostles read, what language(s) they spoke, and what language(s) they taught and preached in. I’d like to begin that discussion in this thread by asking: Did...

Returning to the OP. How would “you“ - my readers in general - explain to a Muslim or a Jew that Jesus is the Son of his God?

That’s fine. And you also.

Make it plain to me then that you don’t believe that Jesus and the apostles taught in Greek. Latin isn’t a biblical language. Hebrew and Greek are.

I’m not. You perception of me is wrong but, even if it was right, that’s no excuse for the way you’re acting. I’m calm and not anxious. There are many more than that who are registered members and there are many more than that who aren’t members who read these forums. I don’t view them as...

You told me just moments ago that he taught in Greek. Christian scholars have to know the biblical languages. They don’t learn it as an amusement.

No. Why do you behave in that manner? It matters what people believe and say on “just forums”.

He also spoke Greek. Christianity is dependent on Hebrew. That is why scholars are taught the biblical languages - Hebrew and Greek.

I don’t agree with that. The first Christians were Jews. The Dead Sea scrolls are written in Hebrew, not Greek. They weren’t produced by the sect of Judaism which Jesus founded but the earliest Christians came into contact with the Essenes. The quotations of the OT contained in the Dead Sea...

The “one gods” of trinitarianism? No. And no trinitarian will stand up and say so? It falls to a Jewish monotheist to do it? In the words of R.C. Sproul to his fellow trinitarians, what’s wrong with you people?

There isn’t a person anywhere on this planet that I wouldn't try to help if I was aware that he or she believed in “one gods”. Who besides me is publicly (perhaps someone is privately) trying to help the one who is teaching “one gods” to his readers?

The New Testament is written in Greek. That doesn’t mean that Jesus and the apostles didn’t know or weren’t aware of what is written in Hebrew.

I’m not being manipulative. I was asking why you don’t care as much about the Nicene Creed, your fellow trinitarians, and him as I do. Obviously. Just as obviously as his aren’t. See their many quotations of the Hebrew Bible. That’s right.

Then you aren’t interested in defending the Nicene Creed. I am. Why are you not interested in defending your fellow trinitarians from his accusation? I am. Why are you not interested in trying to help him see the error of believing in “one gods”? I am. Nor, apparently, do you build your...
