Default Re: Jewish Roots

aron,

I was thinking some of the same things. But at the same time, it is not really that Ohio said something wrong, just may have said it wrong.

Jesus is the Messiah. Whether we can simply attribute the OT term Yahweh to Jesus may not be a simple as we often think. Since God in the OT was not called different persons though given many different names, the inferences in the OT are less clearly identifiable directly with one or the other of the Trinity in the NT.

Not trying to muddle the three or separate the one (why didn't you just say so Patrick — for followers of Lutheran Satire on YouTube). There is a truth of one and of three. Unless we really have a need to force the OT terminology into the neat terminology of the NT, we might be better off just admitting that there is God in the OT and that he is explained differently in the NT, though nothing actually changed. (Well, if you don't count the Son becoming flesh.)
