Even, John the Baptist (unregenerated?) did not believe he was Elijah for he denied it when asked ( John 1:21) unless of course, he was lying about his identity? And it seems that neither did the (unregenerated?)author of the book of L…

I agree with the above! Along with philosophy, I would also add that the Bible is more important than creeds, confessions, theologies, and dogmas.

The above is not the topic of the thread.
The actual is simply: "Is Jesus Deity?" -

Actually, Google Translate has gotten much better at translating modern Hebrew and I think it is an okay free opinion.

I enjoyed reading your post and receiving any kind of feedback at all.
As for your take on the verse, I can only say Shiv'im Panim LaTorah ( שבעים פנים לתורה ) a saying meaning that th…

Thank you, Wolfgang, for reminding us all of that!
Throughout this thread, I think a number of red herrings and Ignoratio elenchi have been used in order to avoid dealing with both the topic of…

No one on this thread so far is claiming that Jesus was only a good man. For example, even Wolfgang claims that Jesus is the son of God in an Arianistic…

Here a two NT texts that have lead some to understand Paul as speaking of Messiah as being a conduit for God.

I am not clear what you mean by "type statements", but I am surprised that you spent so much time focusing on my rewording(s) of David's question, but completely ignored my answer.

Yes, indeed and the Holy Spirit may guide one to use philology, linguistic textual analysis, and Biblical criticism.
Here's a great example of that:

Philology, linguistic analysis, and Biblical criticism are in my opinion more capable/equipped to address the issue I raised in the opening post.

Dave your question is probably better addressed to a theologian, especially one who accepts the ideological assumptions/premises that lay behind your question.

I think you have made a point.
And, I think the rest of your post helps to clarify for me that we are talking about two very different disciplines. It seems to me that: your main (but not only) interest is in the New Covenant a…

I am not sure how you believe 2 Timothy 2:14 is applicable to this thread on Zechariah 12:10 or our current conversation?
The NT fails to deal with every passage in the Hebrew Bible, every book of the HB, grammatical/syntactical issue, an…

That's probably one of the few things we can state about this verse with any certainty, but it isn't the only we can say as the text and its masora gives us a few hints.

Great Question Jan,
A few years ago I ran across a few interesting comments on the verse in question:

Thanks for sharing your beliefs.
In the post above I was addressing the philology, and exegesis of the Hebrew Bible. If the 'essentials' you speak of can help toward those goals I would be more than to see examples of how? So, …

The fact that the NT fails to deal with every passage in the Hebrew Bible let alone ever book, grammatical/syntactical issue, and textual variant in the Hebrew Bible. Could one turn to the NT for help in exegeting stanza's found in the…

David this type of question can't be asked too often and I am glad that you brought it up again.
Question: Is Jesus deity?
or rather "Is Deity Messiah?"
In other words, does Deity (God) make himse… -

Great Questions Wolfgang! I would say that all of the translations of Zechariah 12:10 so far posted on this thread present interpretations(and opinions) on a primary text with a complex history. All, of the translations, should be giv…

I am not sure I have heard phrase "literal whenever possible"?
I do however think that it is important to practice some form of 'genre criticism' when approaching any type of literature.
