You have to love Judaism. While debunking the Christian postulate they almost start debating each other. The lights are on and everyones home. Good stuff.
I think Tawa Anderson at the Tawapologetics blog has answered most of these questions. His most recent entry even addresses one of Blumenthal's articles!
@TheMessianicDrew There are a billion blogs (and apologists) out there 'answering' such objections, but I hardly think that makes them sufficient or persuasive. Virtually no scholar accepts the messianic arguments over 'prophecies' such as Is 53 or about the validity of human sacrifice, but somehow the messianic arguments persist. For me, the breaking point was when I realized that even among evangelicals, many central messianic apologetic arguments are utterly dismissed.

Interesting discussion. Assumes dicotomy, and argues within the assumptions to prove point. Like people living in two dimensions saying G_d lives in three dimensions, and intersection is impossible. OT G_d gives attributes of himself that relate to both realms and intersection of same.
But didn't G-D reveal Himself as a man to Abraham with the two angels. Read the text..they weren't all angels. There are other examples in the Tanach that would blow you away.
outwardly. This remarkable revelation contains within it the potential master key to every single problem. For when it becomes evident and crystal clear to a person that Hashem is right next to him or her, a person will open their mouth and pray to Hashem to help them. If you will firmly believe that G-d is everywhere and you will pray to the infinite being whose presence fills the entire universe, you will without any doubt be able to perform a miracle that defies the natural course of nature.
is indicative of an Almighty G-d who controls everything at every moment. There are no mistakes. None whatsoever. Just lok at each moment how everything is continuosly being created again and again without so much as the slightest mistake or distortion. Nothing is forgotten. This is absolutely remarkable! This is Hashem manifesting his infinite Presence in one form or another. Not that the forms are Hashem. The forms are but a mere infinite manifestation of Hashem's Presence being expressed cntd
Hear O Israel the Almerciful is Our Almighty, the Almerciful is ONE. This is the fundamental core belief for our entire existance as a Jewish nation. In the future this truth will be so evident that it will literally bring peace on earth. Nothing at all exists in this world or the entire universe except for G-d. G-d's infinite Presence is everywhere. What's more every moment the entire universe and everything in it is being recreated and sustained anew. This phenomenal display of control cnt'd.
Did G-d not manifest (piece, part?)of himself in the bush with Moshe? Why did Avraham prostrate on his circumcision in front of the being (Angel,Hashem?) in Gen 18? Finally did not the Glory of HaShem fill the Temple?
These are all "Earthly" things that we may find someone bowed low to. Obviously they would not be worshiping the "Item" but what was manifested in it or about it.
Thank you for yet another answer to this oft asked question. I work for a NGO as a social worker but it is run by the Salvos. They don't proselytise at work but you feel that they believe in this man Jesus as someone who can actually speak to Ha'shem on their behalf yet is Ha'shem himself. *spinning* I asked if one person is praying for one thing and another for the opposite, who does their Jesus intercede for. The stock reply is, "The better Christian" The dogma they speak is frustrating.
christ is only revealed to the elect.that is why many oppose Yeshua.

Jeremiah 23:5-6, Isaiah 7:14, and Isaiah 9:6 are messianic prophecies proving that Yeshua HaMashiach is divine in nature.

Because Jesus spoke perfect truth and perfectly submitted to the Will of God it can be seen that He was one and the same as God, indivisible.

G-d is not a man nor the son of man; so no human being will ever be G-d and G-d will not ever incarnate himself in the form of a human being.
The Tanach is pretty clear.
This is an excellent video because most anti-missionaries focus on why Jesus wasn't the messiah. It's easy to prove why he wasn't the messiah.
But few people discuss why Jesus wasn't G-d. Echad means echad, an absolute one, NOT a compound one.
Great, great job rabbis!

Thank you for posting this Vid.
I does beg this question however.
Did G-d not manifest (piece, part?)of himself in the bush with Moshe? Why did Avraham prostrate on his circumcision in front of the being (Angel,Hashem?) in Gen 18? Finally did not the Glory of HaShem fill the Temple?

A better response would be that god cannot do everything, but the things he cannot do are irrelevant.
