Another challenge. Prove that the Messiah,

Post #1

Post by Elijah John »

Here's another challenge. Prove that the Messiah was supposed to have been, or is supposed to be "God-Incarnate". Do so please, using only references from the "Old" Testament/Hebrew Bible.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

What the passage means is that the son has those qualities. Remember all the persons of God are God.

Everything we know about the Father is also in the Son.

The Trinitarian qualities are also displayed in that passage.
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

"Why is everyone so quick to reason God might be petty. Now that is creating God in our own image :)."

One sample:

Isaiah 9:6–7 (ESV)
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,

God incarnate right there - a child, a son and his name shall be called Mighty God.
Here is the JPS Tanakh , those same verses

d footnote references IS. 25:1:

O Lord, You are my God;
I will extol You, I will praise Your name
For you planned graciousness of old,
Counsels of steadfast faithfulness.

I see more Christian interpolation is the standard bible. Zechariah 12 Is another great example of this.
