Yes, but with one exception. I believe the Messiah died and was bodily resurrected back to life three days later. He is in heaven now but will return to the earth at some point in the future.

I’ve gone on record @Johann. Believing the New Testament isn’t optional. Not believing the New Testament is a salvation issue. Are you willing to go on record? Are you willing to say: “Not believing the New Testament isn’t a salvation issue”? If that’s really what you believe then what is...

I’m providing a link to more in depth paper on the law of agency in scripture than the short article I posted in post #28 @Johann. It’s a pdf which you can access at no cost. http://www.christianmonotheism.com/media/text/Raymond%20Essoe%20--%20Shaliah.pdf It will take you a while to read...

Yes. We’ve discussed it before. You believe in literal preexistence; I believe in notional (also called ideal) preexistence. Remember? I read the exact same verses you do. We don’t read them through the same lens. I believe Jesus is divine, that he is godlike. I accept and believe them...

I don’t think you said anything different in post #48 than what you’ve said in previous posts. Did I miss something new? If I have, please point it out to me. I will agree with you as much as I’m able to. No man can reasonably ask more of another than that.

Post #49 is my response to your post #48 in particular, and all of your posts in this thread, in general.

I do believe in Messiah’s preexistence. Are you sure that’s the only problem you have with me? I haven’t forgotten that you told me that you don’t believe what I believe is a salvation issue. But on the other hand, neither have I forgotten that you said to me that a person who believes what I...

* Everyone has a plan. The happy time before the unhappy time. *

Your post contains some truth. I’ve acknowledged as truthful those parts which I see clearly align with scripture.

“God begets God analogy.” - > bad analogy “God was murdered by Jewish monotheists.” -> bad theology Jesus of Nazareth, himself a Jewish monotheist, the Messiah, Son of God, was crucified by the pagan Romans (not by Jewish monotheists) and died. Three days later he was bodily resurrected back...

Full stop. God cannot be murdered. God cannot die. God has not died. God will never die. God did not die for you, nor for anyone else. His Son, a human person, did.

* But just like the lunatic fringe, I know it’s still out there.*

Thanks. *** @Johann, does this persuade you that “God begets God and then God is murdered by Jewish monotheists?”

No one has ever murdered God. No one will ever murder God. God cannot be murdered. God is inherently immortal. It’s astonishing to me that this needs to be said to Christians.
