Snedeker, The Doctrine of the Double Nature of Christ

“The doctrine of the double nature of Christ, like that of the Trinity, is a doctrine of inference. Neither doctrine is declared in any verse, nor can they be expressed in the language of Scripture. Scattered verses are assembled in quasi-syllogistic form, inferences are drawn from newly-created contexts, & it’s assumed that the Messiah is both a mortal man and the almighty God…I know of no allusion in the Bible to the doctrine of the Two Natures, either with or without modification…”
Snedeker, The Doctrine of the Double Nature of Christ, 1998, pp 6-7.

Jesus is the ‘adoni’ of Psalm 110:1

Hence Jesus is the lord messiah Colossians 3:24

Joseph Klausner

“Jesus did not differ from the rest of his people, and furthermore, we have reason to believe that Jesus expected the kingdom to be restored to the Jews in the political sense. In the first verses of the Acts of the Apostles, without any preparation or warning from the context, there suddenly comes the passage: “and when the disciples were gathered together they asked him, Lord, are you now restoring the Kingdom to Israel at this time?” The verse does not raise any doubt but that Jesus would restore the Kingdom to Israel: it was only a question of “when.” Jesus was therefore truly Jewish in everything pertaining to belief in a worldly, even a political Messiah.”

“If God can create Adam from red earth, then He can just as easily create, beget a being in the womb of a virgin. This He did when His Spirit covered Mary and created in her womb the one who was born of a virgin, the lord Jesus.” Bruce Lyon
