Church of God General Conference. HOME And yourself?

He’s not. I am. What would you have said to him if he were?

NET trinitarian commentary on 1 Timothy 3:16 - “God” here is “special pleading”. (See the link.) 1 Timothy 3 In regard to 1 Timothy 3:16, the Catholic scholar Raymond E. Brown had the following to say in the section of his book “II. TEXTS WHERE THE USE OF ‘GOD’ FOR JESUS IS DUBIOUS” subtitled...

“Undeniably great is the mystery of devotion, Who was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.” (NABRE) Footnotes “a. 3:16 Who: the reference is to Christ, who is himself ‘the mystery...

The Catholic Church acknowledges non-Catholics as Christians. I don’t have any problem with you disagreeing with the Catholic Church, but I don’t agree with your position. The founder of Christianity is Jesus of Nazareth - a Jew, not a trinitarian.

History tells a different story, as does even the Vatican.

Why are you asking? I’ve previously responded to all of these questions in this thread. You already know what my answers are. Thanks for confirming that you’re Roman Catholic. My wife’s family is Roman Catholic. I live in an area that is predominantly Catholic - I would guess somewhere around 80%.

Trinitarianism is a form of monotheism, but it isn’t Jewish monotheism. Jewish monotheism is unitarian, not trinitarian. I asked if you believe Jesus is a Jewish monotheist. It sounds to me like you either don’t or may not. All I clearly understand from your reply is that you believe he is a...

Please see my previous comments in response to this line of thought. Do you believe Jesus was / is a Jewish monotheist?

“Now I want you to realize that that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.” (1 Corinthians 11:3, ISV) Who is God? God is the God and Father of the (Lord Jesus) Messiah.

I believe you. Christianity began as a sect of Judaism. The earliest Christians were Jewish monotheists. I’m a Jewish monotheist and pleased to meet you.

“Jesus is Jewish both in his ethic background and in his religious thought and practice.” (Brad H. Young, Jesus The Jewish Theologian, p. xxxiv) You’re primarily focusing on his Jewish enemies. That’s only part of his life setting. Jesus was an observant Jew. His religion was Judaism. He...

His ancestors were Jewish monotheists. Do you deny that too? Some Jewish monotheists loved him; some Jewish monotheists hated him. His followers were Jewish monotheists; the apostles were Jewish monotheists. His enemies were Jewish monotheists and pagans. Even so, Jesus was / is a Jewish...

“Jesus is Jewish. He is also a theologian. These two facts should never be separated: Jesus is a Jewish theologian.” (Brad H. Young, Jesus The Jewish Theologian, p. xxxv) Jesus was, is, and will always be a Jewish monotheist.

I not only want to learn, I’m continually learning. Just out of curiosity, did you have a percentage figure in mind, an expectation, of those who will say they want to learn vs. those who will say they already know everything there is to know?

“Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah.” (1Corinthians 11:1, TLV)

“[Jesus] was a first-century Jewish monotheist.” (N.T. Wright, Jesus And The Victory Of God, p. 652)

I’m not surprised by your stance but I’m surprised that this is your response to my post. I was anticipating that you would say either two or three. Jewish monotheism is unitarian, not trinitarian. I see only one person in the verses I asked you about. Are you Roman Catholic?

We’ve seen that Jesus, himself a Jew, made this fundamental confession of Judaism. “You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.” (Deuteronomy 6:5, WEB) Would you say that Jesus did or didn’t love Yahweh his God with all of his heart, with...
