Who do you say Jesus is?

(b) No, I do not believe that Jesus was/is "the promised Messiah," and I do not buy into that general concept. Royal messianism is not stipulated in the covenantal paradigm. There may or may not be a divinely-sanctioned king someday, but that is little concern of mine.
Excuse me for interrupting, but may I ask what then do you believe about Jesus? Who do you say that He was?

thanks,
Hi, Suzana,

This is a bit afield here. If you might repost this in the "Judaism" forum, then I'll engage the question there.

Thank you, Emmet

Hi, Karen,
Is there the possibility in the Jewish faith, that the God of the Jew, Moses and Abraham was the encoded "JHVH"? or Jehovah?
In Judaism, the one G-d does have the name marked by the Tetragrammaton.
That the Christian may be enjoying the possibility of JHVH having become a man-child (though Mary of the Holy ghost), and that Jesus was a Jew, how could this be offensive to the Jew?
I suppose part of the problem could be that Jesus is apparently a different person than the Father. Judaism does not conceive of multiple G-ds or of multiple persons within G-d.

Sure it does. It just denies the existence as being self-evident.

No.

One does not have to concieve of multiple Gods in order to understand the Jewish God JHVH.
You mean they never learned anything from the sanctuary?

Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God?

elohiym - plural of ''elowahh' (433); gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:--angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
