JESUS DIVINITY DEBATE AND CONNECTED TRADITIONS

Early Jewish-Christian groups—including the Ebionites, Theodotus of Byzantium, and Paul of Samosata—held an adoptionist view of Jesus. Rooted in strict Jewish monotheism, specific readings of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the Synoptic Gospels, they maintained that Jesus was a fully human man empowered or adopted by God rather than a pre-existent divine being.

Strict Monotheism and the Jewish Messiah

• Monotheistic Foundation: Jewish Christians anchored their theology in the Shema (“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one” — Deuteronomy 6:4) and Isaiah 45:5 (“I am the Lord, and there is no other”).

• Rejection of Ditheism: Both the Ebionites and Dynamic Monarchians argued that calling Jesus “God” in his own right violated strict monotheism and created two gods (ditheism).

THE SECRET ABOUT YAHWEH IS HE WAS THE MOON

In the study of ancient Near Eastern religions, few linguistic roots carry the weight, controversy, or cosmic complexity of the syllable Yah (or Ya/Yw). While contemporary audiences heavily associate the name with later, highly formalized biblical monotheism, the foundational layers of archaeology and historical linguistics paint a vastly different portrait.

By scraping away later theological commentary and returning directly to the oldest Bronze Age artifacts, cuneiform tablets, and hieroglyphic inscriptions, we discover that "Yah" is not a vacuum-sealed concept. Instead, it emerges from a deeply connected web of seasonal timekeeping, agricultural survival, and elemental dominion—complete with ancient traditions of divine partnership.

To map the history of Yah requires separating the word into its primary, oldest geographical tracks.

In A Lot Of Things

“Monotheism has seemed to me little more than a philosophic construct and mishmash of everything else, and in many cases it is proven so.”

This conclusion didn’t come from a single disagreement, but from repeated inconsistency found to be textual, historical, and interpretive.

This also includes a lot of fictions and bad arguments of so called "brighter/smarter" atheists and non-theists often proving themselves, I dare to say, wrong and not that "smart."
