You say in post #11 that you’ve read it at least 3 times in the past 40 years. That’s not a lot of time invested in reading the Old Testament. When, that is, how soon, do you intend to read the Old Testament again? When you do, you should read it, the passage you’re searching for, for a 4th...

There’s no need for the Trinity in response to any of those questions. “God created Jesus Christ” - that’s what readers need to lock their minds on.

You’re on the right track with Jesus Christ was created by God.

I’ll leave it for the trinitarians to respond to, if any of them care to. “Jesus being a creation of the Father” - hard pause.

Parrot you? No. Jesus has a God and, if we listen to him, we know precisely who that God is. That should be enough for us to know who his God isn’t.

Adonai isn’t adoni. The Messiah is adoni. Adonai is his God.

There’s nothing silly about it. In both cases, those are elementary facts. It does matter to me. The Lord God Almighty is the God of Jesus and Moses.

No, God is not his own God. The God of Jesus - the Father - doesn’t have a God.

No one has that expectation. Many are going to hear it anyway. They won’t hear it from me. They’ll hear it from him.

The Trinity means “not the God of Jesus”. What does it matter? Dagon means “not the God of Jesus”. What does it matter? People have to decide for themselves what matters and why it does or it doesn’t. What matters to me is having for my God the only God whom Jesus has for his God.

The Lord God Almighty is the God of Jesus.

Jesus himself is a 1st century Jew. I would expect the belief of his followers, in all centuries, to be consist with his. They aren’t. What does it matter? A time is coming when he will tell us. Again. “I never knew you.”

There’s no confusion about it in scripture. Jesus says he has a God. He does, and his God isn’t the Trinity. Is there a God besides his God? No. Does it matter to trinitarians? No.

The Trinity can mean anything you want it to mean today … but there was a time in Church history when that wasn’t the case. There was a time when it mattered. There was a time when it was a matter of life and death if you did or you didn’t. The point to my readers - why believe something that...

That’s him. He talks about martyrs in the NT (ex. Stephen) but his focus is on martyrdom in general, and martyrdom of his contemporaries in the second century and early third century in particular.

Who is God? (Once an answer is provided, compare it with what Jesus himself says about who his God is.) What does it matter?

Recently, martyrdom and the resurrection of the flesh. Tertullian has been helpful in the study.

The first time I heard anything from the Bible about God was when I was a baby in the womb of my mother and heard the Bible being read aloud. It was a long time ago, now.

What would you say to a trinitarian who believes and advocates that Rabbinical Judaism teaches the Trinity? (See the thread titled Did Christians “invent” the Trinity?-2)

I would say that God himself doesn’t have a God. He is God.
