this video presents a specific theological interpretation of the Bible as if it were an undeniable fact. it relies on selective readings, ignores alternative interpretations, and simplifies complex theological debates. while faith-based perspectives are valid, they shouldn't be presented as objective, irrefutable truths. the inherent subjectivity of biblical interpretation makes definitive claims about Jesus' divinity based solely on scripture a rather precarious exercise.
7:07 when I read the gospels I just don't see that jesus was crucified for being god. in mark 14:61-62, the sanhedrin asks him if he is the messiah, son of the blessed one. jesus responds "I am" and then quotes the passage about the son of man from daniel 7:13. now let me ask you something: before jesus, what did the jews think the messiah would look like? was he to be fully man? partly divine? whatever they thought, I think you'd be hard pressed to find ANY jews who thought the coming messiah/son of man would be yhwh in the flesh. in fact, many jewish scholars and commentators see the son of man in daniel as a symbol of the faithful remnant of israel, not as yhwh incarnate. with this in mind, it appears to me that the idea of jesus and yhwh being one and the same is something that developed in the years after his death. we can see the development in the language he uses in the synoptic gospels (where he mainly uses the son of man title) contrasted with that of the gospel of john ("before abraham was, I am"). how did the authors of the synoptic gospels miss those crucial statements?
It was just Rome who needed to get access back to being God. Caesar was God before the Christians rebelled .. So Rome created the concept of the trinity to solidify their power after they took over Christianity. Then instead of Cesar being God it was the pope... Today the Jews do no consider the coming Messiah to be God... The Gnostics didn't see Jesus as God. The church today is just a branch of the Catholics church. They are a cult that says Jesus is God but then only listen to Paul for some reason.. it's so backwards and filled with lies but that is how it works... 2+2=5 then when you agree the truth doesn't matter and either does God..
