“This is what the Jews believed concerning the Messiah, from Everyman’s Talmud: The Major Teachings of Rabbinic Sages (pg347):
‘the sending of the Messiah was part of the Creator’s plan at the inception of the Universe.’
‘From the beginning of the creation of the world king Messiah was born, for he entered the mind (of God) before eve…[Read more]

Are you going to refute the Jewish mind? Prove scripturally what I have said is wrong!
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through…[Read more]

because this wasn’t the Jewish belief.
Jewish belief denies that Jesus is the Messiah. If Jewish belief is the standard for truth, then why do you believe that Jesus is the messiah? Or maybe you don’t?

In John’s first epistle, he is warning of falsehoods coming into the early church and to be careful of them. This is less than 50 years after Christ’s ascension. I am puzzled how we don’t see the preexistence doctrine as a man made belief, let alone the trinity. Christ referred to himself as a son of man, meaning he was man, of mankind – not som…

I will assert both doctrines are false teachings
The Trinity is never mentioned by name or described. However, Jesus Christ being the first born of all creation and having first place in all things is mentioned.
If Jesus Christ is not the Word or the first to be with God then who was?

@ Proclaimer,
Clarity of a statement you made in an earlier post (#942749) about how the trinity doctrine and preexistence doctrine are not mutually exclusive. This means both are truth; yet you reject the one and except the other. Was this a typo?
I will assert both doctrines are false teachings, because this wasn’t the Jewish belief. If it w…[Read more]

You think that the Trinity Doctrine is wrong and I agree with you on that.
But you also seem to think that rejecting the Trinity Doctrine means that you need to reject Jesus as existing with divine nature in heaven before emptying himself and coming in the flesh. Why do you need to reject that? The Trinity teaches that Jesus is God…[Read more]

If you believe and teach something that is not true, it effects your other teachings that even if they are true.
