Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
And the spirit of Hashem hovered over the face of the waters.
I have a Christian friend in real life that I am close to and sometimes in good spirits we discuss our differences in religion. He has made the claim that this verse is Messianic. He refers to a Jewish midrash, B're****h Rabba 1:2, which states "“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him." To me it is obvious that the midrash is simply making the analogy that the spirit of God will rest upon the Messiah the same way it hovered over the waters and that is what I've said so far. In no way is it saying that the Messiah is that spirit. I wish I had access to B're****h Rabba so that I could get the full context. Anyhow, comments? How do you all think I should best continue to respond?
