Excellent observation there my brother.The parable of the heir speaks here.
Unitarianism loses either way.Yes or no. Did they understand what Jesus was saying when they condemned him to death for blasphemy?
I just find it sad how trinitarians subordinate the word oh God - that YHWH is only old God - to what the Pharisees said. Then, cannot even answer that you reject what they say when it is convenient.The fact you understood the reference yet are still resisting is sad to me.
I answered your question below in Comment #123. Let's see how you would answer it:Impressive mental gymnastics.
Yes or no. Did they understand what Jesus was saying when they condemned him to death for blasphemy?
Still no yes or no answer.I answered your question below in Comment #123. Let's see how you would answer it:
My answer is definitely yes because Christ would have corrected them if the answer was no, and He didn't. I'm surprised you could not figure that out from my statements. Your total inability to offer any counterargument speaks volumes.Still no yes or no answer.
Trinitarianism loses EVERY way.
Typical that you want me to answer questions when you do not. Why can’t you answer simply yes or no?
I'm surprised at your answer. You are telling yes, the Pharisee were correct in sentencing Jesus to death for the sin of blasphemy. Right?My answer is definitely yes because Christ would have corrected them if the answer was no, and He didn't. statements.
Its only blasphemy if its untrue and He was not God. But since He was/is God it was a false accusation.I'm surprised at your answer. You are telling yes, the Pharisee were correct in sentencing Jesus to death for the sin of blasphemy. Right?
Most trinitarians use the Pharisees as right about him being God from wrong about him sinning by committing blasphemy deserving death.
Once you confirm, I'll provide my answer.
Someone understanding something does not automatically mean I approve of it. For example, if someone understands that he will die if he drinks poison does not automatically mean that I approve of it. Critical thinking is required here.I'm surprised at your answer. You are telling yes, the Pharisee were correct in sentencing Jesus to death for the sin of blasphemy. Right?
I've asked you a direct question multiple times. The burden is not on me to "figure out" your position.I'm surprised you could not figure that out from my statements.
Again, you still fail to offer any valid counterargument.I've asked you a direct question multiple times. The burden is not on me to "figure out" your position.
So, I asked another question, which you have not answered, Why can’t you answer simply yes or no? (Now that you gave a yes - even though I doubt you meant yes but no - it's an interesting dynamic that it took so much prodding, and each non-responsive reply filled with insults, etc. I think we both know the answer; you are not confident and have insecurity of where these questions may lead, relative to your trinitarian IDOL. This tells me there is a glimmer of hope for you to see through the fog of lies the trinitarian order has confused you with, being ever so slightly grounded in logic).
You are changing the frame.Someone understanding something does not automatically mean I approve of it. For example, if someone understands that he will die if he drinks poison does not automatically mean that I approve of it. Critical thinking is required here.
No. The Pharisees understand that Jesus is claiming to be God and they disapprove it. That does not automatically mean that I agree with the Pharisees. Far from it.You are changing the frame.
In claiming Jesus claimed to be God, the Pharisees are correct AND you approve it.
How did you come up with that? I walked you through the logic above. Do the same for me.In claiming Jesus committed the sin of blasphemy, the Pharisees are correct AND you don't approve it.
I have questions that need answering before I can field that question.Why the difference?
Not really. As referenced....
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
You say Jesus isn't God. Yet Jesus chided those that treat Him like you're treating Him for saying the same.
What works do you do that match of excede what Christ did? Please read these verses a few times before you answer.
See my answer atNo, that's not true. My Bible heading for that section of John 10 is that Jesus claimed to be the son of God. He brilliantly invoked one of my favorite Psalms, Ps 82. Before I continue, what do you make of verse 6
I say, ‘You are gods;
you are all children of the Most High.
This is one of the most profound verses in a monotheist text. I'll start a new thread and expand on it when I get a chance later today.
He was certainly the son of God. That they were out to get him is demonstrable in this rationalization. They believed in the Messiah and him admitting it could not be blasphemy to the true Messiah. The confession that got him killed was not that he claimed to be God but he admitted to being the Messiah, the son of God.Its only blasphemy if its untrue and He was not God. But since He was/is God it was a false accusation.
Here is the counter argument.Again, you still fail to offer any valid counterargument.
Subterfuge. I did not ask if you understood it. I asked YOU if the Pharisees were correct.I even pointed out how your logic fails in that someone understanding something does not automatically mean I approve of it. For example, if someone understands that he will die if he drinks poison does not automatically mean that I approve of it. Critical thinking is required here.
I already explained. Re-read what I wrote.How did you come up with that? I walked you through the logic above. Do the same for me.
They said : you being a man make yourself out to be God.He was certainly the son of God. That they were out to get him is demonstrable in this rationalization. They believed in the Messiah and him admitting it could not be blasphemy to the true Messiah. The confession that got him killed was not that he claimed to be God but he admitted to being the Messiah, the son of God.
