@Lightenup,

AI is your source…like I said before, what could go wrong!!?? AI is programmed by man and can only do what it’s programmed to do; a search engine that can look at more information in a split second than you could in a month and give it back in a readable format. If the only information it finds is based in christianity, what do y…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Not speaking of “messianic” Jews – that’s “christianity” with Jewish customs thrown in; I’m speaking of Orthodox Judaism.

Yeshua (Jesus) as the divine Messiah and Son of God

The Jesus can’t be the true Messiah as he wasn’t born of the seed of David and Solomon (he did have a biological daddy), he was conceived of the spirit. Do you…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Memra means “word,” in the sense of “the creative or directive word or speech of God manifesting His power in the world of matter or mind”; a term used in the Targum as a substitute for “Lord” when an anthropomorphic expression is to be avoided.” Basically it is a substitution for YHWH and its derivatives.

Outside of the Targums, whe…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Once again we aren’t on the same page; you aren’t quoting from the Targum (click here for your Targums – Onkelos and Jonathan are the most used), you’re quoting Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho. It’s no wonder there’s mass amounts of confusion; you aren’t quoting scripture; you’re quoting the musings of man.

If this is what your…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

At least you now know that the belief of two powers in Heaven, held by enough people as a legitimate interpretive framework drawn from biblical texts as early as 560 BCE, is not a modern interpretation.

Have you heard of the Targums?

Did Moses, Joshua, the Judges, or the prophets teach G-d as a “bi-unity” or more importantly, did G-d…[Read more]

The trinity explained at last. LOL
The trinity teaches God sent himself to go to earth to save mankind.

Then he agreed with himself and volunteered himself to himself to offer himself.

Then God Impregnated a woman as himself with himself.

God Prayed to himself and glorified himself repeatedly.

God strengthened himself and prayed to…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

I asked for scriptural proof and NOT writings of a scholar christianizing the Jewish scripture with his thoughts.

Daniel 7:9–14: Describes the “Ancient of Days” (God) on a fiery throne, followed by “one like a son of man” who approaches on clouds, receives everlasting dominion, and is served by all peoples. Early Jewish interpret…

@Lightenup,

We can take a slight pause on the Deut 10 :17 after you give me an analogy that is not comparing apples to oranges and shows that you are grasping the pattern.

Not trying to grasp a “pattern”; I’m looking at the grammatical structure of the sentence…facts. Did you not read the grammar break down of the sentence? This concept is from…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

So, let me ask you if you know about the belief that enough early Jews (before Jesus came), believed that the Tanak was speaking about two powers of God, so much so, that the orthodox Jewish rabbis made a declaration about that belief?

Don’t be a tease, back up what you say; provide proof to that statement and the “two powers” of G-d.

@Lightenup,

You are making no sense, obviously the nation of Israel came from Jacob and his sons; where does G-d claim to be more than one. Please provide the passages that support this “trinitarian” claim (do you notice how you are avoiding the question??).

Can we please finally put G-d/the Jesus “unity” of Deut 10:17 to rest; I understand gra…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

If I were to say: Israel is Jacob and sons. Would you agree that the statement shows that Israel is more than one person?

You’re reaching and your analogy doesn’t work; you’re using an example of two physical separate identities and trying to make them one. Whereas G-d NEVER refers to HIMSELF as a multi “being”; christianity created t…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

“For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who does not show partiality, nor take a bribe.”

I understand that verse to show that YHWH is God and Lord, two persons.

If I were to say my shirt is black and white, does that mean I have two shirts? Absolutely not!!!! It mea…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

You realize “Yahweh” is translated to “Lord”…right? So wouldn’t “Lord” also be an appropriate name to use?

When you understand that YHWH is a name for the fullness of God as well as the name of each presence of God, i.e. Father, Son and Holy Spirit

YHWH is yud, hei, vav, hei (Hebrew) and is the “unpronounceable” name of G-d; wher…[Read more]

@Berean,

Still attacking the catholic church and its leader; please explain Paul’s words concerning the Sabbath.

Col 2:16,17a “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; Here Paul states one isn’t to judge another of the…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

Let’s start here:

There is a theme of unity throughout scripture. Do you agree?

Unity in relation to what? Please be more specific.

@Berean,

In nothing you quoted does it say it’s the Catholic church or the pope! This is your religion projecting; prove with the Tanakh G-d said what you believe.

Please note, you still haven’t scripturally explained how the pope is the “foot soldier” of Satan. Still waiting for an explanation of the Jesus’ words in Rev 1:1 “the things which m…[Read more]

@Berean,

Not at all, I have no hatred towards Catholics.

Yet, virtually every post is a negative comment disparaging the religion and its leader. This is what is called “hate.”

I only protest against false teachings and those who propagate them.

Yet, you follow after the teachings of an individual who said the Jesus was returning when she was ali…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

The New Testament is precise…

Yet, I have pointed out over the last 1.5+ years the errors of the NT and how it doesn’t align with the Tanakh or how passages quoted from the Tanakh are taken out of context and/or twisted to fit the christian narrative. I have shown Paul is a liar and manipulator. I have proven the Jesus canNOT be t…[Read more]

@Berean,

Once again you quote your goddess as proof and not scripture. You quote her more than you do the bible; how do you not see that as an issue?

@Proclaimer,

And there it is!!!! Finally someone went out and studied a scriptural passage!! There is hope for one finding the truth!

Now what you need to do is apply this same method to EVERYTHING you have been told is truth! Like I have said, spend your time in the Tanakh and NOT the NT and study what G-d said. G-d never once spoke in the NT…[Read more]
