The Seven New Testament Quotations of Isaiah 53 - Robert F. Wall

Do you have a Concordance? Do you have access to a search engine? I’m confident that you’ve read the New Testament. Why are you asking me - a person whom you don’t even believe is a Christian - to assist you, a Christian, to find something which every Christian should be able to find in the...

So now you are saying that Jesus is a Jew. Add to that that his religion is Judaism. No. His mother is a also a Jew.

I could be mistaken, but I think he was referring to the collection of writings by Jacobus de Voraigne (and later added to by others) on the lives of the saints, Readings of the Saints - better known as Golden Legend. It would be right up your alley.

You don’t know where? You don’t think it is?

Paul makes the important point that Abraham was a Gentile when he believed God and entered into a covenant with him. Some do say Abraham was the first Jew, others that Judaism began at Mount Sinai. I’m in the latter group, but I wouldn’t quibble over it. To say that Moses isn’t a Jew is...

He handed it to you on a silver platter. I can agree with what he said. Why couldn’t you? Is it because he’s not Roman Catholic?

You’re saying that Moses and Saul aren’t Jewish? (You said previously that Saul was Jewish.) I know you don’t think Jesus was Jewish. [You think Jesus is Roman Catholic.] For our historically grounded readers: What made Jesus Jewish? I’ve learned through conversation with you that history...

The New Testament explicitly identifies who the prophesied suffering servant is. God communicates with us using language that we can understand. Some trinitarians deny this. Do you?

Jesus is elohim / theos and yet his elohim / theos alone is the only true God. It’s an easy concept in strict Jewish unitary monotheism.

That’s interesting coming, as it does, from someone who is familiar with the black legend.

Do you recognize and acknowledge a distinction between good religious leaders and bad religious leaders?

Moses was from the tribe of Levi. You don’t believe he was Jewish? Saul wasn’t from the tribe of Judah. You said in another post that Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, was Jewish. That’s right, but in light of the question you’re asking in this post, why did you say that he was?

“God as a fetus. Holiness sleeping in a womb. The creator of life being created.” (Max Lucado, God Came Near) Millions of people are being fed this, and they love it.

“Not even the chief angel Michael did this. In his quarrel with the Devil, when they argued about who would have the body of Moses, Michael did not dare condemn the Devil with insulting words, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’” (Jude 1:9, GNT)

In a world where yes means no, yes.

Thanks for confirming.

The mosaic covenant is indispensable to Judaism.
