I am [the second person of the Trinity]?

My deepest apologies to Doc Goober. He’s a pretty fair auto mechanic and an all-around swell guy. He has a good heart, which no one can deny. I’m checking with the Law firm Dewey, Cheatem and Howe to see how much trouble I’m in and whether or not this simple and heartfelt public apology will...

“For anyone of the house of Israel or of the immigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet to inquire Me for himself, I the LORD will be brought to answer...

God [is] with me / God [is] with us, in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, the Son of God. God has intervened - he has sent me / sent us a savior - to save his people. That’s God’s MO (Nehemiah 9:27).

Yes. Dual fulfillment is quite common in scripture.

The child born soon after the sign (Isaiah 7:10-16) was given by Isaiah in the days of King Ahaz would also have been God himself if it is insisted that the name means that the bearer is literally God himself.

The point is that the name doesn’t identify the person as God himself. God with me or God with us?

The parent(s) of Ithiel (“God is with me”) didn’t believe their son was God. Immanuel (“God is with us”) doesn’t mean that Jesus is God himself. The name is symbolic and means that in his life God has intervened to save his people.

That’s why when a person is in need of something like heart surgery he doesn’t have it done by Goober, over at Wally’s Gas Station.

Thanks. The time frame of your work with that ministry in Israel is the same time frame for the publication of Harold O.J. Brown’s book, Heresies: Heresy And Orthodoxy In The History Of The Church. Orthodoxy was once everything in the Church. There was a time when failure to assert and affirm...

Is this in response to my post #1920? “Does this tell you that Jesus is God?” - Yes “Does this tell you that Jesus is the Father?” - Yes “Does this tell you that Jesus is your God?” - Yes “Does this tell you that Jesus is the Trinity?” - Yes “What does it tell a Jew?” - It doesn’t concern...

I’m a theological engineer. If I was going to design a brain, I would rubber stamp the creator’s blueprint.

Origen is a bit of loose cannon, but a key player in the development of the doctrine of the Trinity. I’m going to quote from his dialogue with Heraclides in the Did Christians “invent” the Trinity? thread. The OP made a case for the Gods of Israel in that thread. Bishop Heraclides supports the...

Have you read Origen’s dialogue with Heraclides?

el gibbor. Used in reference to the child in Isaiah 9:6; used in reference to other people in scripture, too. What does that tell us?

Does this tell you that Jesus is God? Does this tell you that Jesus is the Father? Does this tell you that Jesus is your God? Does this tell you that Jesus is the Trinity? What does this tell you? What does it tell a Jew?

Just one of many that are in the world.

I’ve been doing this for most of my life. I think so too. Do you think they can be discussed - infinitely or finitely - with either side giving an inch?

That’s good. Those who try to change the minds of others will fail every time. The majority of the world’s population isn’t Christian. I don’t think that should depress Christians; I think that should motivate Christians. People discuss topics that are important and / or of interest to them.

Are you tired of the subjects or are you tired of the people discussing them?
