Where doe is say that He was not willing to offer Himself, Bo?Perhaps it was just the kind of or the extent of torture that He was about to face, not the death itself that He wasn't willing to take.

Pierre,My son shared this true story with me the other day. He was explaining to a fellow worker that he ate a half a grapefruit for breakfast. The fellow worker was from a foreign country and questioned why anyone would eat a half of a grape for breakfast.

I wanted to know if “the Word of YHWH” was ever said in the targums to be WITH “YHWH”.In other words, did they ALWAYS change “YHWH” to “the Word of YHWH” – to the point that “YHWH Himself” is not even mentioned at all?

Wakeup,Jesus and the Father are both inherently God.You and your son (if you have one) are both inherently human.So when you say 'God and Jesus' it can be confusing because Jesus is god, the Father is god…both are inherently god. All other gods are not inherently god but acting as god in some manner.
