The Pharisees didn’t believe a fellow Jew - Jesus of Nazareth - is the Messiah. The Messiah is > than the Pharisees. His teaching is superior to theirs.

No. (Thanks for bringing him to my attention.) I know rabbi Jesus. His God is the Father, not the Trinity. The teaching of the Messiah is greater in my view than the teaching of a 17th century rabbi.

I don’t think it’s a rub for Jesus. There is no God besides his God. I honor both Jesus and “our” God.

His God alone is my God.

Some. Most of my time, by far, is spent reading trinitarian scholarship.

I account for that by the Jewish Law of Agency. Are we able to agree that the God of Jesus is the Father, not the Trinity?

I have some which I use from time to time but I seldom use them when speaking with trinitarians. (They usually dismiss them out of hand.) I use trinitarian sources when speaking to trinitarians. (Sometimes they listen to them, sometimes they don’t.)

When you read the Bible do you find that the God of Jesus is the Trinity?

His theology is my theology.

”1. The one God. (a) theos is the most frequent designation of God in the NT. Belief in the one, only and unique God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30; 1 Cor. 8:4,6; Gal. 3:20; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19) is an established part of Christian tradition. Jesus himself made the fundamental confession of Jud. his...

Yes.

Jesus was neither.

I’ve visited Africa twice (Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and Kenya). I doubt that I’ll ever get back there in this lifetime, but I would love to. Good night.

Often it does. That was the case with me. I was raised to see the Trinity in scripture and I saw Cultural context, religious practices, word meanings, etc. from a trinitarian perspective. If we have concluded that scripture was written by trinitarians won’t we find the Trinity there? If we...

Jesus is a Jew. I view him through the lens of his Jewish theology.

The Messiah, the Son of the living God.

No. See the theology of Jesus. (He wasn’t into Jewish mysticism, the Talmud, etc.)

When I say “Jesus is God” I mean “Jesus is God only in a representative sense” - when we see and hear Jesus, we see and hear his God in him, the Father. Jesus isn’t literally the Father, nor is he literally God. When I say “Jesus is God” I don’t mean what you mean when you say “Jesus is God”...

No, I’m not Jewish. My theology is Jewish. Jesus is Jewish. His theology is Jewish.

It’s not the belief of Jesus. And if we read it carefully, it isn’t quite compatible with historic orthodox trinitarianism.
