    Not me. I’m a Jewish monotheist.

    Defending the Godhead (Trinity) & the Divine Nature of Christ

    Entered in defense of the Trinity, on behalf of trinitarian forum member @Johann. “. HaShema - Deut. 6:4. Hear, O Israel: Jehovah (singular) our Gods (plural) [is] a unioned/unified Jehovah (singular).” For more of his apology, please see his thread titled Did Christians “invent” the Trinity?

    Defending the Godhead (Trinity) & the Divine Nature of Christ

    This thread could do with some 3rd century perspective. “Dialogue of Origen with Heraclides and the Bishops with him concerning the Father and the Son and the Soul. After the bishops present raised questions concerning the faith of Bishop Heraclides, that he might confess before all the faith...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    With a response like that, I don’t think you caught my drift.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Yahweh is only one person.

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Using that logic and expressing it, a non-trinitarian member might could get himself or herself banned here.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I’m convinced that it works the exactly the same way in scripture. When people saw and heard the Messiah, they saw and heard the God who sent him. I was my supervisor’s schaliach. No one mistook me for being the one who sent me. The Messiah is Yahweh’s shaliach. I don’t mistake him for being...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    When I arrived at a facility back in my workings days it was common to hear someone say “The state is here.” I was an agent of the state. I represented the state. I bore the markings of the state. I acted with the authority of the state. I was given wide latitude in what I said and did but...

    Thoughts on this paper? The overestimation of the uneducated when disagreeing with actual experts.

    I’m aware of the concensus forming process and participated in it. Do whatever you think best, but I’m telling you consensus is sometimes achieved in ways that would shock you.

    Thoughts on this paper? The overestimation of the uneducated when disagreeing with actual experts.

    I believed them and stocked up on thermal underwear … then came global warming. So I stocked up on men’s briefs. I’ve got it covered no matter which way the wind blows with the alarmists. I spoke with the plant manager at a Fruit of the Loom manufacturing plant back in the 1990’s and told him...

    Thoughts on this paper? The overestimation of the uneducated when disagreeing with actual experts.

    I worked in the field of science. I was acknowledged in most states located east of the Mississippi River, and in some states west of it, as an expert in my field. Scientists say what they do for multiple reasons; not all of them good.

    Always go with the majority. Isn’t that what Jesus said?

    Thoughts on this paper? The overestimation of the uneducated when disagreeing with actual experts.

    It reminds me of an old episode of a television program called Quincy. Maybe you remember it. Jack Klugman played the role of Dr. Quincy, Medical Examiner. There are great medical practitioners, good medical practitioners, mediocre practitioners, poor medical practitioners, incompetent medical...

    Is the Medical Board that issued them licenses to practice medicine aware of them?

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    What a trinitarian hears when he hears Jesus, a Jewish unitary monotheist, say “I am”.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    All of Jesus’ statements are significant. You showed us your bias when you capitalized the phrase. Some trinitarian translators capitalize the phrase, just as you did. Some trinitarian translators don’t capitalize the phrase. The trinitarian translators who don’t capitalize the phrase aren’t...
