I don’t see anything in scripture about the Trinity being the mystery hidden from ages and from generations. The mystery, that which could only be known by revelation, is that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:17) whom the one God had the prophets speak about.

Access to the one God is, since the coming of the Messiah, through the Messiah. Those who reject the Messiah may /will still claim they have access to God, but they don’t. That was his point to his fellow Jews who rejected his messianic claim. In rejecting him they rejected the one God, his God...

The “fullness of time” for the doctrine of the Trinity occurs in post-biblical time. We can observe it happening in the work of your theologians. You believe it to have been divine revelation. Catholics I’ve spoken with have called it “divine inspiration” which, I presume, is another way you...

“Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.” (John 14:24, NIV) Jesus is the prophet like Moses whom the one God promised he would raise up from among the people. Anyone who doesn’t believe that is true...

”All the previous lightning flashes pale into insignificance before the blaze of this passage. When Jesus said to the Jews that Abraham had rejoiced to see his day, he was talking language that they could understand. The Jews had many beliefs about Abraham which would enable them to see what...

Have you seen William Barclay’s commentary on this passage of scripture? He handles it deftly. I find it persuasive.

“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him.” (Deuteronomy 18:15) “YHWH said to me, ‘They have spoken well. I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he...

“Agent (Heb. Shaliah): The main point of the Jewish law of agency is expressed in the dictum, ‘a person’s agent is regarded as the person himself’ (Ned. 72B; Kidd, 41b). Therefore any act committed by a duly appointed agent is regarded as having been committed by the principal, who therefore...

The Jewish law of agency. The human Jesus is the shaliach of his God, the Father, the one God.

The human Jesus knows that he is not the Trinity, nor the second person of the Trinity. The human Jesus also knows that he isn’t the one God, the Father. The human Jesus is a Jewish monotheist. The human Jesus is God. The question is, how? Trinitarianism has an answer. Binitarianism has an...

This, I think, cannot be said enough. The God of the human Jesus is the Father. No one else. Nothing else. The Father alone. YHWH. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. The human Jesus isn’t a trinitarian. The human Jesus is a unitarian. Trinitarians may speak of unitarians however they wish...

Jesus knows who he is and he knows who his God and the God of his followers is. Jesus is God but only in a secondary sense. His God alone is the one God. His claim is that he is the Messiah, not the one God. The scribes and Pharisees he was speaking to didn’t believe his messianic claim...

The human Jesus isn’t a trinitarian.

Yes. Thank you. I don’t know why I wrote that it was verse 18. The passage I’m asking about is verse 13. I’m a Jewish monotheist and Jesus is a Jewish monotheist. We aren’t trinitarians and we aren’t modalists. When I say that I believe Jesus is divine I’m saying that I believe Jesus is Godlike.

The human Jesus, you say, has a God. Who is the God of the human Jesus?

Okay. Thanks. When I was a trinitarian I would say that the Trinity is the God of the Bible, and Jesus is the second person of the Trinity. As a Jewish monotheist I say to you that Jesus is a Jewish monotheist. He says to me that his God is my God.* Our God isn’t the Trinity. Paul says there...

Jesus is only one person. I would expect to hear a trinitarian say “The Trinity IS the God of the Bible, not “Jesus IS the God of the Bible”. He wouldn’t and didn’t. He worshipped his God, the Father, whom I maintain alone is the God of the Bible. The God of Jesus is the God of Abraham. There...

YHWH and Jesus, as well as others, share the title kurios. In these parallel passages of scripture, Jesus is speaking to the Lord his God, YHWH, the Father. In 1 Corinthians 8:6 Paul makes a distinction between the one God and the one Lord. He’s speaking about two persons, not the Trinity. The...

Would any trinitarian on the forums care to say publicly how many selfs you believe the Trinity is?
