Jewish Binitarianism & Jesus' Divinity

Delving into Jewish binitarianism and its relation to Jesus' divinity. This video is based off of the work of Dr Daniel Boyarin in his book, Borderlines.

@17:17 how do you reconcile quoting that text in Exodus, if on another video you were promoting the idea that the whole Exodus was a made up story based on a "Canal Lock"? it seems to be an incoherent world view. Why does the inconsistency between the use of Angel and Lord matter, if the whole Exodus story was made up under the Ptolomeic era?

This video was FANTASTIC. You did such an excellent job explaining this, it flowed beautifully.

Thank you.

How do you reconcile quoting these verses in Genesis, if you were promoting the idea that all of the Penteteuch was created in Hellenistic times? During the same cultural era Philos lived. Wouldn't be par for the course?

@19:40 Mr. Akiva was not a martyr. If he went to war, then he was a soldier, if he killed people, and got killed in return, that's not a martyr. Otherwise every soldier would be a martyr. Every soldier is not a martyr, therefore Mr. Akiva was not a martyr.

Well done and put together my man. Kudos.

Wow you are very well studied. Thank you for breaking this down.

I wonder then, why at the time of Jesus, was it hard for Pharisees to believe that Jesus was who he claimed to be- God the logos. Unless, the claim he mad was God, the divine being? Any insight on this?

On a totally different note- I’ve been wondering about reincarnation and how the ancient Jews taught/thought about it. Any resources or insight on that?

...it was the first notification of a video of yours since the "how the trinity evolved" 5 months ago.

Seems like you have confused binitarianism with bitheism in the opening segment.

Interesting presentation. Scripture agrees that the Most High spoke and the Word, the Power of God, made the visible world from the invisible.

Genesis 1:2 KJV
… And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Hebrews 11:3 NASB95
By faith we understand that *_the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible._*

The Word, "the Power of God", brought into existence His own Body in the Virgin. The invisible God, the Word, became visible flesh. (Php 2:6-8)

Luke 1:35 NASB95
The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and *_the power of the Most High_* will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

Jesus Christ (the pre-existent Word) continued as the Power of God who made food appear for thousands out of one loaf of bread and a piece of fish, healthy tissue out of the diseased, and eyesight out of darkness.

1 Corinthians 1:24 KJV
… *_Christ the power of God, _* …

Yes the Son we are confirming into his image . sons of God

The gospels are absolutely binitarian: Father and Son, Son and Father...TWO. What says the Occam's razor? Jesus HAD BEEN the almighty God, this is why He says "He who sees me SEES HIM who sent me."
The almighty God has been able to look into his future and to do ALL his work in the past, everything. After his work was completed his power was no longer necessary so that God got rid of it to become like a normal man: the "Son" of God. "Son" thus means He DERIVES from God, He is not an actual son. Thus, the world never saw God "the world has not known you". The Son of God is now the ONLY KING of heaven "MY kingdom is not from here.". Since He is not almighty He makes use of the power of the Father, with his consent. To recap, Jesus is the non-almighty God.
