    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Gesenius documents 962 occurrences of echad. Do you concur?

    Yes. See the NET trinitarian commentary on Genesis 1:26, 47 sn. Genesis 1

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    I think we are all in some sense theologians. That aside, Arsenal is a trinitarian theologian / scholar. I quoted him and provided a link to what he wrote in order to further document that trinitarian theology historically rejects the teaching that Jesus is a human person.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    It’s a fact that echad is a numerical one. I’ve provided two sources documenting it. Many more can be added, if need be. Yachid is a very rare word in scripture, and the connotation makes it unsuitable to use in reference to the one God. Moses didn’t get his numbers wrong. Whoever taught you...

    They come up against him for the same reason that they come up against any other trinitarian. I don’t recall off the top of my head how many times echad occurs in the OT (it would be very easy to look it up) and I have made a study on the word, as well as the “ us” accounts you’re alluding to.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    I’ve seen it (posted on several forums) and responded to it (on several forums). It’s a simple fact that the cardinal number in Hebrew is echad. Anyone who knows Hebrew can confirm it for us. One means one, not more than one.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    “This is why theologians say that Christ is not a human person (which is a synonym for hypostasis) but that he is a divine person with a human nature.” (Tony Arsenal, “Anhypostasis, Enhypostasis, and Bears … Oh My”) Anhypostasis, Enhypostasis, and Bears… Oh My

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    The one true God is the God and Father of Jesus. There is no other besides him. I haven’t put any words in your mouth. But on that subject, God put his words in the mouth of Jesus.

    I’m very familiar with Michael Brown.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    I’m not deflecting or resorting to circular reasoning. I documented what I said using only trinitarian sources.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Yes, I think there’s something wrong with being a trinitarian. Jesus himself wasn’t a trinitarian. I think his disciples should have the same theology of God which he has. The video is nearly two hours long. I’ve seen it before. Thanks.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    So says trinitarianism. Trinitarianism also says that Christ Jesus is not a human person. Do you believe Christ Jesus himself is a trinitarian?

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    When counting in Hebrew, the numeral one (1) is echad. One means one, not more than one.

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    I just asked why you thought it was a bombshell for a trinitarian to announce that he’s a trinitarian. Are you asking if I think there is anything wrong with being a trinitarian?

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    He and I agree that Jesus was a human person. Historical orthodox trinitarianism asserts that Jesus was only one person, a divine person only, not a human person. If you agree with historical orthodox trinitarianism then you assert that Jesus was not a human person. I find it nearly impossible...

    About what? From your posts it’s obvious that you’re a trinitarian.

    marks disagreed with historical orthodox trinitarianism. Do you also?

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Why do you think that’s a bombshell?

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Thanks. I haven’t met many people who have said they believe God separated from himself. Those who did were trinitarians who believe their deity is three selfs, not one self. Some of them said God died; some of them said that God didn’t die.
