Welcome to the forums. Jesus wasn’t talking to himself. He was talking to his God.

F Troop - The actor who played the Corporal Agarn character on the show, Larry Storch, died today. A sample of his work.

Old manuscript discovered. Manuscript discovered detailing Inquisition trials against Jews

I believe he was an observant Jew, that he observed the law, fulfilled the expectations and obligations incumbent upon those whose religion is Judaism. That would include, but not be limited to, worshipping the God of Judaism / the God of the Jews. The God of observant Jews is the God of...

Back to “Who do you worship?” and Jesus of Nazareth … How satisfied is the reader with the proposition that Jesus was a non-observant Jew?

On a slightly different note … Where I live, schools and churches are more and more putting up small boxes like this and asking people who are able to voluntarily stock them for the benefit of those in need. The boxes are in constant need of restocking. I don’t know who is availing themselves...

I don’t give money to anyone begging for money. I have offered to buy food for them and ask them to accompany into a restaurant to dine with me. A few have accepted my offer and were very thankful for it. (I haven’t yet but I might consider giving such persons some money after such an...

On Hebrews I would add that 2:5 provides the important detail “the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.” Jesus plays a key role in bringing about “the world to come”. You seem to be placing a lot of emphasis on God referring to Jesus as God. I do too, and I understand that to mean...

The passage in Hebrews makes the point for me that God did not speak by Jesus in the past; God spoke by the prophets in the past, later by Jesus, after he was begotten / brought into being. The passage in Colossians makes the point for me that “in him” - not “by him,” as the translation you...

“God brings forth from seed.” That’s something I think everyone would do well to meditate on. I don’t know what others think about it but it causes me to think of word. God brings forth from word.

I mentioned to you in my post what he is - a miraculously begotten human person. Conception Christology locates the origin of Christ in the womb of his mother. In Matthew 1:18 we find the evangelist speaking about the genesis of Jesus. As a non-trinitarian, that causes my mind to flash back to...

I don’t know anything about “divine DNA” and don’t believe it has any relevance at all to Jesus. Adam is also the son of God (Luke 3:38). Nothing to do with divine DNA. Your son’s origin is in the womb of his mother. Nothing to do with divine DNA. Jesus’ origin is in the womb of his mother...

And there came one of the scribes who had heard them disputing together. He perceived that Jesus had answered them well, and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. And you...

“Jesus was born a Jew (Matthew 1:1-17; Galatians 4:4; John 4:22), and as such, from the perspective of Jesus’ humanity, related to God through the law which Moses gave in the Old Testament (Galatians 4:4). To that extent, He didn’t worship Judaism, but He worshipped the God of Judaism - the God...

It’s all preserved for anyone who cares to look at it.

You think you said? I defended them, you assaulted them. I clearly said from the beginning that they were accurately presenting trinitarian teaching. You had an opportunity from the beginning to express agreement. Go back there and see what we said and did.

Was it you or was it me who said the trinitarians I quoted are “false trinitarians”?

I understand it exactly as they do, and have said so multiple times. You, on the other hand, have vacillated wildly. If you agree that what they said - and I remind you that I quoted both Catholic and Protestant scholars and theologians - is an accurate presentation of historical orthodox...

I’ve carefully read everything you’ve said about them and what you’ve said about what they said. I quoted them precisely because they accurately present the teaching of historical orthodox trinitarianism.

There aren’t “two possibilities” in their statements. They are unequivocally presenting the teaching of historical orthodox trinitarianism.
