The True Flesh;920884 said:Way to dance around the question. You dissected the use of the words "us" and "child" but not the specific ones that I cited that point to this being an individual ie: everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.
The part about establishing it with judgement and justice HENCEFORTH EVEN FOR EVER.......sounds like a "singular" Messiah to me.
PEACE
Not dancing at all. But to make it more plain, theres no proof that these epithets refer to Yeshua and if they do it doesn't support certain manmade doctrines/interpretations such as the trinity or an anointed personage being the totality of the Most High. Just not enough there in those verses or any other works of a bonafide prophet to support that. Either way I'm safe. I dont reject any of the teachings attributed to Yeshua that are in line with the Law and the Testimony. Nothing in the scriptures that even remotely suggests that calling on YHWH is wrong but there is plenty there that calls certain dogmas and traditions of modern Christianity into question. The focal point for me is that the wages of sin are death. Grace can be a buffer zone to prevent instantaneous death but grace is not an abdication of personal responsibility.
Oh, i just thought of something on the "Everlasting Father" tip....
Matt. 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
You cant really make that fit with Isaiah 9. That'd be a mighty reach.
