Jodi said…..>”Because Jesus was none other than a man and not some sort of godman from heaven, such is exactly why God could forgive our sins through him.

Berean…….You still have a problem with, The word (dia) a Greek word which means , “for the purpose of”, as in cause by which something was done, or channel, not as the English word “by” meaning Jesus created the world himself. . Jesus said clearly he could do “nothing” of himself, so how could he create anything himself?

The Word of God is His Promised Spirit and it was made true in the flesh when it descended upon Jesus of Nazareth at the river Jordan.
God was in Jesus to the cause of fulfilling all righteousness, where the Spirit is there is righteousness and life.

DT……you said…..”Did God say he was sending someone to be a mediator between HIM and man? Please provide a passage in the Tanakh stating the Messiah is to be a go between so man can get to God. Can you prove the Jesus is the true Messiah (link 946290 when and how will the Jesus accomplish what is listed)?”

DT said…….You believe in an idol, because you have placed someone or something (the cross) between you and God. It’s time to start verifying what you have been told is truth and stop relying on the thoughts of man and turn back to God.

The term iniquity is frequently used in scriptures, but what actually is it? How can we know when we our anyone else is committing iniquity? Jesus is going to reject people for being workers of iniquity.

They don’t want to dialog with you because no matter what scriptures they and I give you, you find or event a way around them. So it is indeed futile to discuss the issues with you.

DT…..Yes there are variants in both the new testaments and the Old testaments, but that has to do with translation from one language to another. But that does not mean you should throw out the entire texts, to fit your own conclusions.
