In Part 1 (the previous episode, #92) I began to respond tosome of the claims made in the One for Israel video called “The Trinity and the Torah,a Jewish Defense of the Trinity”. I noted that the so-called “mysterious unityof (one-God-in-three-persons) is not a biblical mystery, but is a man-mademystery that comes from centuries after the Bible was written, from Gentilesland outside of the Land of Israel. Also, that the idea of agency is a much better way to understand how God’s messengerscan speak and act for God.  God’s agentsor messengers even speak in the first person as God, as they are delegated andauthorized by God to do so.

The deceptive bait and switch: finding evidencein the Bible that Jesus is the Messiah, but then insisting that Jesus isliterally God. only True God, the Father.
