Yes that was before, but lately many Jews were converted to Christianity.
That may be the reason why Dr. Stern understand Jesus come in His Father's name. (YHWH)
https://www.bethashemyhwh.org/the-name.php
Christ boldly proclaims "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive" (Yahn 5:43). Indeed Christ wraps Himself in the name of YHWH, and His very name, Yahoshua or Yahshua (the latter being the shortened version), testifies of YHWH's salvation (Matthew 1:21).
The 19th century saw at least 250,000 Jews convert to Christianity according to existing records of various societies.[2] Data from the Pew Research Center that as of 2013, about 1.6 million adult Americans of Jewish background identify themselves as Christians, most are Protestant.[3][4][5] According to same data most of the Americans of Jewish background who identify themselves as some sort of Christian (1.6 million) were raised as Jews or are Jews by ancestry.[
Yes of course there are converted Jews.
My point was about the non-converted Jews who have always detested Jesus Christ. Now they're claiming that he is YHWH. That is so far-fetched that it's out of the park. Why listen to those Jews? Yes, Jesus came in the name of his Father, YHWH. That's not the same as what the Jews are now saying, that you highlighted.
Your arguments are confined to non-converted Jews, mine is to some open minded Jews that studied the Scriptures and comes to that conclusion.
So what is your point?
My point is that I quote from an open-minded Jew, and not from those closed minded you preferred.
I don't prefer closed minded anybody.
You arguments give much weight to non-converted (closed minded) Jews.
Review your post.
I think that you should review my post. I have never supported close-minded Jews.
You don't remember I colored blue above?
You're not clear on what your point is. Please explain.
My point is based on the commentary of an open minded Jew Dr. Stern whom I quoted as
even the Jewish NT Commentary believe that Jesus the Messiah is YHWH. Meaning God.
But you rebut it, using the stand of many closed minded Jews that never accepts Jesus as the Messiah.
Philippians 2:9-11
God has given him the name, that is, the character and authority, above every name (v. 9). In vv. 10-11 Sha’ul reveals the extraordinary fact that this name above every name is Adonai! He states, moreover, that the day is coming when every tongue will acknowledge it—angelic (in heaven), human (on earth) and demonic (under the earth).
Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai (Greek kurios). As explained at Mt 1:20 N, the Greek word “kurios” can mean anything from the tetragrammaton (YHVH, “Jehovah,” the personal name of God, rendered “Adonai” in the Jewish New Testament) to “Lord” (in the sense of God as universal ruler) to “lord” (in the human sense) to merely “sir” (a respectful form of address). Because Isaiah 45:23, which in its own context applies to YHVH, is quoted in v. 10 in reference to Yeshua, I believe this verse teaches that Yeshua the Messiah is YHVH and not only “Lord” in a lesser sense.
