    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    Contemplation involves two distinctly different aspects; 1. The data and 2. The theology. The data is what, for example, a religious text actually says and the theology is speculation regarding what it might mean. 1. Equal means the same. Equality is counterproductive, especially in...

    Do All Religions Teach Their Way Is The Only Right Way?

    Yes, but that's true of everyone. Science, history, religion, politics. It's ideology.

    What is the Meaning of the Bible?

    I get that a lot. If I use the Watchtower as a source, because they've removed the pagan influence, I sound like them. If I use Vine's or Strongs no one notices. Nothing I say and little the Watchtower says is original. It all comes from somewhere else.

    What is the Meaning of the Bible?

    No. Never been. My beliefs are similar.

    Who Or What Is Israel?

    Israel is a word that means to contend, wrestle, grapple with God and so be preserved. It's sort of what we all do. Thus, Jacob and the nation were called Israel.

    Do All Religions Teach Their Way Is The Only Right Way?

    Well, I know that no religion believes it's the wrong way.

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    I've already addressed this. If my answer wasn't acceptable you will have to be more specific. Who didn't include exactly what and how did they not match. I'll need scriptural references. Exact references where they allegedly don't match. Given that I've already answered they don't have to...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    There it is. The no defense defense. Took you long enough to get to the real issue. I have some respect, though little interest in religious tradition, but if your tradition doesn't match the data or you can't support it, don't use lame excuses. They don't mean anything to me.

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    That is irrelevant. I'm reading the imperfect fallible translation of the perfect infallible. As are you. Anyone can look it (Hebrew) up. I see the superstitious adherence to certain Hebrew words in discussions like this as a sort of pedantic superstition masking as, even worse, quasi...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Is better than promoting someone else.

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Oh, I'm sure it has. That's the nature of syncretistic religious tradition. I was talking about the root. In Judaism Moses becomes Rabbi. Alexander's influence beginning in 332 BCE was hardly the beginning of apostacy. The Bible makes that astoundingly clear. But what became the traditions of...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    I already have. It's from my website. I wrote it.

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    In English it's Israel. And Jesus instead of Iēsous or Aramaic Yeshua or Hebrew Yehoshua. I speak English so Yahweh is Jehovah. If I spoke Irish it would be Iehova, in Indonesian it would be Yehuwa, in Italian it would be Geova, Polish Jehowa, Russian Иегова et cetera. Was Adam Jewish? Job...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Already had them. Genealogies don't have to match. They link names. There are lots of names. Ezra, for example, in proving his priestly lineage, at Ezra 7:1-5, left out several names that were listed at 1 Chronicles 6:1-15. Matthew was the first. I know most scholars don't think so, but it...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Correct. And Ambrose, Augustine, Ignatius, Irenaeus, Clement, Martyr, etc. From a scriptural perspective they are irrelevant. From a theological perspective they aren't.

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    The simple answer to this question is that Jesus was actually the Son of God and the natural heir to the Kingdom by miraculous birth through the virgin girl Mary, of David's line, and Jesus was also the legal heir in the male line of descent from David and Solomon through his adoptive father...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    I'm the guy who saying that your rejection of Jesus is based upon post Biblical Jewish tradition rather that scripture. In that I'm not responding to your personal opinion, vaguely given in the OP, I'm providing scriptural support without the influence of tradition. Generally speaking, a...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    He was also a Jew, of course, and a Christian. Most of the early Christians were at least 2 of the 3.

    Such a good reason you can't wait to not tell me?

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Why was Israel formed? The nation, its laws?
