He probably said my Lord and my god. It was common in those days to refer to great man as a god. This was done for rulers and kings and certainly anyone who just got up from the dead. It's about understanding the culture that the words were written in. Something I keep saying that falls on deaf ears.
Sorry no it was not common for a monotheist Jew to refer to a man as my God
Even the devil is called a god. Not God. A god. Do you want that verse? But again, these are not teachings. There's no teaching about the trinity anywhere in the Bible. Just these little words that are not understood in the culture they were written in or poor translations. Just little bits and pieces scattered all over the Bible. No teaching on it. Not even once.
but Not my lord and my God by a monotheistic Jew
That is correct. The text would not be Lord and God. But rather Lord and god. Or Lord and divine one.
Spin it however you like, but you still will not find a Jew addressing any mere man as his Lord and God
The word "mere" man is never used in the Bible. It's a word you keep using. But not the Scriptures.
Stop the game playing
I don't play games. Jesus Christ was never a mere man. And he was not recognize by anyone as God. He is the son of God, the Messiah, and the resurrected Christ. Not "but a man" or a "mere" man.
Sorry Thomas refutes your claim
It would be wrong to confuse what Thomas said as an address to Jesus. This is exactly why no one will translate this verse, unless they want to be funny, as “You are my Lord and my God.”
Huh? Who else was "Lord" in the room? The Butler?
Huh? It's been translated thousands of times throughout the last two millenniums. Nobody got your memo not to do so.
Huh? How so?
That proves Trinitarianism. Your unitarian presuppositions are blinding you to what Thomas said.
Read John 5:58.
A unitarian Jesus would have immediately corrected Thomas. That never happened.
In your mind Thomas called Jesus God. Not in my mind. And calling someone anything is not doctrine. It's not a teaching. It's not a chapter or two explaining it. Something this important should have been taught in both the Old and New Testament. And there's nothing.
Then your mind is in denial and you do not value the word of God
I guess this guy was ignorant about the Trinity and could only repeat the arguments that we have already heard here. I expected he would have had something different to contribute since the video was ostensibly shared to give insight into the "problems" of the Trinitarian Godhead. This video was made for the Arian choir, not to address serious Trinity concepts.
None of your above verses hold water. Only in your mind do you see a trinity. Others do not. I told you this many times about how the word "God" is used in the Bible and this is an historic truth that we know. It's not just me saying it. And you refuse to believe it. Some Biblical Unitarians believe that Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 1:8 are calling the Messiah “god.” They recognize that this king is not being called “God” with a capital “G,” but they think the Messiah is being called “god,” and they translate both Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 1:8 as having “god” with a lowercase “g.” It is true that in the biblical languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin, the word “GOD” had a much broader meaning than it does today (Hebrew and Aramaic have only uppercase letters, and all the ancient Greek manuscripts were in capital letters, so the manuscripts all read “GOD”). In the biblical languages, “GOD” was a descriptive title applied to a range of authorities, including angels and demons, lesser gods, great people, rulers, and people acting with God’s authority. The word “God” in both Hebrew and Greek could refer to a human being, especially a human being acting under God’s authority.
