    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    * The man obviously either doesn’t know or doesn’t believe that, among other things, I’m a retired professor who taught, wrote and lectured on Church history. That’s his problem, not mine. Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically. Read Church history. *

    * So much for “no need for further communication” * Then you already know that it (as well as other trinitarian commentaries - which I’ve quoted elsewhere) - supports my position on the question. Feel free to seek me out any time. Or don’t.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    I told you previously that we aren’t brothers. You either didn’t believe me, didn’t understand me, or didn’t read it. Remember: You sought me out; I didn’t seek you out.

    https://www.gotquestions.org/typology-Biblical.html Let them accept or reject their own sources but let them not be ignorant.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    There are thousands of books and articles on David typology, most written by people who believe that Jesus is literally God. David typology does no damage whatsoever to their theological position, nor to mine.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    See NET trinitarian commentary on the 1 Timothy passage. I cut to the chase after that. I’m opposed to Arius, Marcion, Nestorius and Eutyches.

    Do you even know what typology is? You’re not my brother. If you don’t find something persuasive then don’t believe it. You don’t believe agency explains how Jesus is God. I do. Where does that leave us? Me - with the same God who is the messiah’s God, the God of Israel. You - with a...

    Typology and Christology aren’t opposed to one another.

    Do you also deny David typology?

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    I told you that I worship both God and the messianic king.

    What I learned is that you’re unfamiliar with David typology.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    David, like Moses, is a type of Christ. Those who worshipped David (1 Chronicles 29:20) thought what about him?

    I say you misread my post. The messiah is a prophet, priest and king.

    The God of Israel isn’t a prophet. Will you claim that one of your Gods of Israel* is the prophet like Moses, @Johann? * Gods of Israel. Dead giveaway for those with discernment.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    The God of Israel himself doesn’t have a deity. He is the deity. The messiah himself has a deity. His deity is the God of Israel. Jesus is a prophet. In fact, he is the prophet like Moses whom his / their God promised to raise up from among the people (Deuteronomy 18:15,18).

    Jesus is greater than Moses. He is, as many NT scholars have said, “the new Moses”. For reference, if interested. An article written by a colleague of mine in the ministry. https://onegodworship.com/the-principle-of-agency-in-the-new-testament/ Jesus is more than just a messenger. He is, as...

    See Exodus 7:1. See also the concept of shaliach. Jesus is his God agentivally / representationally.

    In the same way Moses is - figuratively.
