Jesus isn’t Jesus’ God.

There’s only one God. His.

I offered for your consideration a trinitarian perspective on why Jesus needs to be God. I previously offered for your consideration a non-trinitarian perspective (via an appeal to Moses Typology) on why Jesus needs to be God. If you don’t find any of it persuasive then you shouldn’t believe...

“As with all sources that you read & study, I hope you will ‘eat the meat and spit out the bones’ when reading this book. Shalom” (Anonymous Jewish bookseller) A handwritten note, which I held onto, addressed to me, from a Jew whom I purchased a book from online many years ago. The book...

Outrageous. But can something good come out of it?

Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically.

I think the whole book of John is about God and Jesus. (And some other things, of course.) I like your connection with genealogy. I don’t often get that from trinitarians. I agree with you that it is. John does go all the way to the beginning.

And what?

Yes.

John is a Jewish monotheist, not a trinitarian. Are you thinking like a Jewish monotheist when you read John 1 or are you thinking like a trinitarian?

Most trinitarians, if / when they respond, will say two. Rarely, but occasionally, trinitarians will say three. I’ve run into this on discussion forums but never, that I recall, in trinitarian literature. I see only one. Reference English translations published prior to 1611. (And many after...

A bit? He rejects Jesus as being the promised Messiah.

Thanks for the clarification. No, I don’t think Tovia Singer is on the narrow way.

I answered your question. I’ve read the sources you asked about and I’ve dealt with them through trinitarian organizations who use them. They don’t support trinitarianism. Why aren’t you into Jewish mysticism? I don’t understand your question. What does “on the narrow dereck” mean? Please...

You very recently told me that you aren’t into Jewish mysticism. I took you at your word and told you that I was glad to hear that you aren’t. Perhaps I should have added that I’m not into Jewish mysticism either. It’s a pathway, not the only pathway, into idolatry. I’ve dealt with the issue...

I’ve met trinitarians who don’t subscribe to the Apostles’ Creed. I think the majority of trinitarians would say that they do. In honor of the recently deceased Queen of England: the Apostles’ Creed, from the Church of England website. “I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven...

Which translation(s] of the Bible do you routinely read? (When I was a Southern Baptist I was KJVO).

He certainly is a unique man / human person. How many persons do you see in John’s prologue (1:1-5) to his Gospel?

That’s an interesting answer. I’ve personally never read any trinitarian writer, or spoken with any trinitarian, who gave that response to the question. Perhaps you have. Trinitarianism “officially” breaks down into two camps* on the question. One trinitarian camp says the Trinity is a single...

A “mere man” is a man. The mere man / man Christ Jesus did. 2 Corinthians doesn’t deny that. Your rationale does. The historical trinitarian response is the sentiment you expressed. That’s why Jesus is not a human person (a human person is “a mere man”) in trinitarian theology.
