I’ll return to Fortman shortly. I want to give anyone who truly wants to discuss what I’ve already quoted from him an opportunity to do so. In my reading of Jesus this evening, Revelation 7:10 - “They were shouting at the top of their voices, ‘Salvation belongs to our God, to the one who sits...

I’ve been a Jewish monotheist since 1997. Yes and no. See the Jewish law of agency. Jesus is functionally God, not ontologically God, in Jewish monotheism.

* I hope she lived long enough to find out that she’s wrong. And I hope Thag was there, alive and well, if she did. *

* What are most bobcats named then? If it’s a fact then there should be data available to support it. *

* I never really thought about it before. I just assumed that they worked the year round. *

* Mr. Spock has been preoccupied with other, more pressing, matters. *

* Just go ahead and give me the worst seat on the plane. I’ve got a better chance of arriving alive there safely than I do after getting run over in a stampede. *

* If a clock ever knocks at your door, take a minute to think before answering. *

* Right on, mom. But what if it really was? *

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...

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...

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...

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)...

“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...
