You should really start reading the bible.
John 10 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
John 8 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
John 14 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Bentley Scott
John 1:1 says that the Word (Jesus) was with God and was God. In John 10:30 Jesus said that He and the Father are one. In John 14:9 He said that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father. In Colossians 1:15 Paul wrote that Jesus is the (visible) image of the invisible God. In Hebrews 1:3 Jesus is called the exact representation of God’s glory In Hebrews 1:8 God Himself called Jesus God. God’s Spirit is presumed to be one and the same with God just as your spirit is presumed to be one and the same with you. So if God and Jesus are one and the same, and God and His Spirit are one and the Same, then the three are one.
There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6). Yet there are three persons presented as deity in Scripture: the Father (John 6:27; Colossians 1:3), the Son (John 1:1-3, 14; 8:24; 20:28-29; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12) and the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Samuel 23:2-3; 2 Corinthians 3:18). Lastly, these three are presented as distinct persons (John 8:16-18; Luke 11:1; 3:21-22; Galatians 4:6). Thus from Scripture we learn that although there is one God, there are three distinct persons who are deity. So the Trinity is the biblical position to hold to once one examines what Scripture teaches.
Chase Anderson

The trinity has been around forever, as he is God.
These demons you mention knew God before the world was made.
Who do you think the "elites" are in touch with?
Do you not know that demons do not die, and their sole aim is to rule the world, with their leader worshiped as God?
No, most of you are lost, and without a compass. I pity you. You're missing out on one of the greatest times in history, foretold by the prophets of God.
Matthew Williams
Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane 43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ... John 18 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
Jesus saying his name, I Am, knocked hundreds of Roman soldiers off their feet.

f.a.m. I'm not the dude you're replying to but I have a question for you, was Jesus circumcised? In the case yes (Luke 2:21), was that piece of flesh taken away part of God?
Nolan Russell
Yes.
Luke 2 Circumcision of Jesus And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
Jesus was the only person who kept the Old Covenant perfectly.

It was part of the Christ child.

It's all a logical mess. "I died so you could be saved and go to heaven" has no one just taken a step back and examined how nonsensical this is?
Sounds like damage control for a situation where a guy who claimed to be the Jewish Messiah was executed instead of actually saving the world.

Where *in the bible* does Jesus refer to himself as the God of the old testament? I'll be waiting.

If you think that Pharisaical Judaism was the ultimate pinnacle of the Law of Moses, you did not read what Jesus said about it.
If you do not understand that Jesus changed the Passover from a remembrance of what he did getting you people out of Egypt to what he did to get mankind out of condemnation, you do not believe Moses and the prophets.

>So there did indeed exist "psychological laws" as Proust calls them.[7] These laws and this system are the consequences of a fundamental reality grasped by the novelists, which Girard called "the mimetic character of desire." This is the content of his first book, Deceit, Desire and the Novel (1961). We borrow our desires from others. Far from being autonomous, our desire for a certain object is always provoked by the desire of another person—the model—for this same object. This means that the relationship between the subject and the object is not direct: there is always a triangular relationship of subject, model, and object. Through the object, one is drawn to the model, whom Girard calls the mediator: it is in fact the model who is sought. Girard calls desire "metaphysical" in the measure that, as soon as a desire is something more than a simple need or appetite, "all desire is a desire to be",[6] it is an aspiration, the dream of a fullness attributed to the mediator.

>Using your conclusion to argue its own validity.
This is why nobody takes you seriously. Especially when you ignore half of what you consider revealed scripture to prove the other half.
Oh, and by the way? Passover sacrifice? Definitely around way before Phariseeism. The Pharisees tended to downplay the notions of sacrifice and temple observance. But once again, good job in managing to be wrong about literally every single part of your post.

/rel/igion needs to be its own board, and I shouldn't bump an obvious bait thread, but...
I've always felt that applying divinity to Christ completely destroys his message. He should only be thought of as the Son of God in the same sense that we are all sons of God. His life lived is an example of a capacity we all share, that we all can, and ought, to live life by his example. If you attribute Jesus with divinity, than his example is forever out of our mortal reach. He is no longer a man in a state of enlightenment, but a divine being to which no man can aspire to, and whose footsteps we simply cannot follow.
It basically takes the core of all his best teachings, and tosses them to the wind. Never mind the consequence of believing all sins are forgiven, and that the only path to salvation is through him, rather than through following his example.
Ian Gonzalez
All of these are easily interpreted metaphorically as being consistent with the Buddhist principle of the oneness of the mind that experiences all being.
Oh, but Jesus never spoke in metaphors or parables, amirite?
Robert Bell
You say Jesus did not keep the Passover supper. You keep saying it as though it were true. You keep saying it as though Jesus and the disciples did not eat a Passover dinner the night he was arrested.
You are entitled to your own opinion, Jew, but not to your own facts.
Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah that Moses and the prophets spoke of.
And if you had any regard for Daniel, which you do not, you would know that the Messiah had to be alive during the time of the second temple.
You're lost, Jew.
Wake up.

One of the things you refuse to understand is that the sedar meal is on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the day after the Passover where Jesus was crucified as the Lamb of God.

I'll give you an excerpt from War and Peace, a Bible Quote, and a quote from another user in this thread. These three things should suffice to get the message across of how Christians want you to consider your issue.
1) I never could understand the fondness some people have for confusing their minds by dwelling on mystical books that merely awaken their doubts and excite their imagination, giving them a bent for exaggeration quite contrary to Christian simplicity. Let us rather read the Epistles and Gospels. Let us not seek to penetrate what mysteries they contain; for how can we, miserable sinners that we are, know the terrible and holy secrets of Providence while we remain in this flesh which forms an impenetrable veil between us and the Eternal? Let us rather confine ourselves to studying those sublime rules which our divine Saviour has left for our guidance here below. Let us try to conform to them and follow them, and let us be persuaded that the less we let our feeble human minds roam, the better we shall please God, who rejects all knowledge that does not come from Him; and the less we seek to fathom what He has been pleased to conceal from us, the sooner will He vouchsafe its revelation to us through His divine Spirit.
2) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

>You say Jesus did not keep the Passover supper.
That's right.
>You keep saying it as though it were true.
It is true.
> You keep saying it as though Jesus and the disciples did not eat a Passover dinner the night he was arrested.
They ate of an offering they weren't present at when it was sacrificed. That's a pretty major no-no.
>Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah that Moses and the prophets spoke of.
And yet he failed to say, rebuild the lost cities of Zion, or ingather the lost tribes.
>One of the things you refuse to understand is that the sedar meal is on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the day after the Passover where Jesus was crucified as the Lamb of God.
Then why do the Synoptic Gospels themselves identify it as "When the Passover was offered"? It's pretty clearly there.
>One among many things you do not understand because, again, YHWH has blinded you due to your hatred of his only begotten Son, Yeshua.
Ad hominem, Pauline edition. Let me let you in on a little secret. Paul was the guy sent to convert the Gentiles primarily because his grasp of Judaic theology was so weak he'd be laughed out of a room of learned people in his own era. And now, 2000 years later, people like you still fall for it.

"You are from below, I am from above" (8:23). "Unless you believe that I am, you shall die in your sins" (8:24). "The things which I heard from Him [God the Father], these I speak to the world" (8:26). "I speak these things as the Father taught me" (8:28). "I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" (8:29). "I speak the things which I have seen with My Father . . . " (8:38). " . . . you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God, this Abraham did not do" (8:40). " . . . I proceeded forth and have come from God . . . " (8:42).

>Right View: our actions have consequences; death is not the end, and our actions and beliefs have also consequences after death; the Buddha followed and taught a successful path out of this world and the other world (heaven and underworld/hell)[24][25][26][27][note 3] Later on, right view came to explicitly include karma and rebirth, and the importance of the Four Noble Truths, when "insight" became central to Buddhist soteriology.[28][29]
Jeremiah Nelson
Again, you don't know the difference between Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Two different feasts.
Two different meals.
The Passover that year was the Day of Preparation for the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
You Jews no longer do that for the most part because your tissue of lies is pliable. The Law of Moses is not.
Charles Cox
>And yet he failed to say, rebuild the lost cities of Zion, or ingather the lost tribes.
He's still alive. He's still the messiah. He will do all things in good order, when they're ready.
And you won't partake in them, because you refused the only means of salvation known to mankind.
Belief in the Jewish Moshiac.
Camden Wilson
>Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed
Then I seem to be in good company with the Gospel authors. You wouldn't be suggesting they were WRONG, would you?

>Do you not know Jewish days begin at sundown for some reason?
Yes, I do. That holds for Pesach as well, which is why the opening celebration is to eat the Seder, of which the Korban Pesach takes center stage.
What's your point? You sacrifice the lamb on the afternoon, and that evening (next day in Judaic calendar), you start Passover (unleavened bread) and eat the lamb with your matzah and bitter herbs.
You can find this in Numbers, 9:11.
Zachary Reed

Matthew Collins
>Yes, Jesus was sacrificed on the afternoon of Nisan 14, and buried before sundown.
So you're saying the Synoptic gospels are lying or mistaken about the date? Because Mark, Matthew, and Luke all agree that the last supper happened at the start of the 15th (assuming dinner was more or less at sundown) and the crucifixion was the next morning, since, again, they identify the last supper with the lamb brought earlier that afternoon.
>And rose on First Fruits.
I'm not a Christian, but I'm pretty sure the Christian line is that he was dead for 3 days, not 7 weeks. You are, of course, confusing the Bikkurim with the Omer, which are two different things, if you think that Jesus rose around the time of that.
Grayson Williams

Matthew 26 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?”
They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.”

Already in this thread, above. You'll be endlessly waiting until you die. Then you'll wonder why you agreed to be in an open rebellion against the Almighty.
You misspelled "Catholics".
It's what happened when the Son, who knew no sin, became sin so that we could live. The Spirit fled him, and the Father turned his back so as not to behold him. The earth quaked and the sun went dark. And the centurion on duty knew that they had crucified the Son of God.
When Jesus rose from the dead and went to heaven, he was seated at the right hand of God; he was placed over everything but the Father.
And again, if you cannot understand, comprehend or even apprehend the Trinity, you will still be just as clueless trying to think it through as you were before.
Their cult says Jesus was just a prophet, just the Jewish messiah. Many cults say that their own leader is actually god. In Islam, for instance, satan is worshiped as allah.
