    More on the deity of Christ

    A very short introduction to the Jewish law of agency @KUWN. https://skipmoen.com/2018/01/shaliah/ You don’t have to “bet on it” - everyone should believe what they are persuaded is true - but I do. If nothing else it will help you understand why I believe what I believe about Yahweh and Jesus...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Even in your response, you make a distinction between Yahweh and Jesus Christ. Jesus isn’t Yahweh. Yahweh is the God and Father of Jesus. What passages like this show is that the Messiah does what his God and Father does. My post was in direct response to your post. The trinitarian scholar I...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Moses is functionally God, not literally God @KUWN. No one, not even Pharaoh, would think Moses was literally God. I think we are in agreement about that. In scripture, the choice is between Yahweh and idols. We should be able to agree on that. Do we? Both Moses and Jesus have a God. Neither...

    More on the deity of Christ

    I’m not able to link to your post #68 @KUWN. Dr. Witherington states very clearly in the clip I provided (and elsewhere) why Jesus wasn’t and isn’t Yahweh. Such a thing isn’t possible in the Jewish setting of the New Testament. Yahweh is the Father alone. Dr. Witherington knows that. Jesus of...

    More on the deity of Christ
