Jesus was a man. Even your NT says,Right, he’s a God
…but is that Jesus or god talkin? That makes a difference
All this simply states is that God is not a man it doesn’t say God isn’t Jesus
Then I don't understand your remark, "he is God." The four verses I quoted about God not being a man are about God, not about Jesus. In fact they specifically EXCLUDE Jesus as God since Jesus is a man.
Yup he was a man as well as god
Why do you ask?
I don't want to belabor the point, so I will reiterate one final time, and move on. The verses do say that God isn't Jesus, because those verses specifically exclude any man (like Jesus) from being God.
You’re quoting the Old Testament. Jesus wasn’t even born yet.
It’s all cool I’m enjoying the conversation. Yes any man like Jesus, but Jesus wasn’t any man. I think that’s pretty clear.I don't want to belabor the point, so I will reiterate one final time, and move on. The verses do say that God isn't Jesus, because those verses specifically exclude any man (like Jesus) from being God.
Anyhow, I don't mind if you disagree. Separate brains and all.
This is old testament that has nothing to do with Jesus. The only thing that these passages state is that God is not a man. They don’t say God isn’t Jesus. Know what I mean? Jesus wasn’t even born yet so to use these passages to refute Jesus is God doesn’t make sense. Anyway, that’s enough of a history lesson.
The verses describe the nature of God. Are you saying that God's nature changes?
If it's alright, could you reply just one time to a given post? You often repeat the same remarks in multiple responses, just altering the wording a wee bity. I don't really care to keep repeating my reply. I figure you will understand my point the first time I say it. If not, I doubt that repeating it will help.
Have you ever asked him? If so, what answer did he give you?
Well, I had a couple different ideas going on there. Sorry about that.If it's alright, could you reply just one time to a given post?

Contrary to rumor, I have never audibly heard God's voice.
The only "answer" I have is those verses I should you from the Tanakh.
It seems to me you already know the answer. Am I wrong?Contrary to rumor, I have never audibly heard God's voice.
BTW, you avoided my question, so I'll ask once more: Are you saying that God's nature changes?
No one has the answer for 100% certain. But I'm as sure as I can be.
How do you know Jesus even claimed to be the Christ? The problem with Jesus is that he never wrote anything down, so nobody really knows what he said, all we know is what other people claimed he said or did; and of course what many of these people claimed he said contradicts. Example; if you believe what those men who wrote of him and their books eventually became the Bible, according to those men Jesus claimed to be the son of God. But if you believe those who wrote some of the Gnostic gospels, or even the Quran, according to those men, Jesus never even made such claims. So who do you believe?
Well, maybe you could be a little more sure if you ask God. I’m not being snide, I’m being serious. The verses from the Tanakh were likely passed down from oral tradition, but they came from somewhere, from somebody’s mind.. so I’m sure your mind could get some answers as well no? All you have to do is ask. It might take a lot of time, but the answers will come. I think at some point a little bit of common sense, soul searching and wisdom of our own reality must come in to play and be applied to one’s spiritual beliefs. Know what I mean? So that’s the best answer I can give you to your question.
Why don’t you think Jesus’ sacrifice was meant for you? Don’t the scriptures say He died for the sins of the world; wouldn’t that include you and everyone?
