The Jesus Itinerary

[Captain Colostomy]

Furthermore, the very notion of the intercessor with the divine is wholly blasphemous to Jewish theology. One pursued a relationship with Yahweh, a god who was hardly out of reach to the heroes of the OT and a god who was insanely jealous and ceded the center stage to no one (the whole need for the nonsense of the Trinity was to weasel out of the intercessor-deity-in-a-monotheistic-religion conundrum).

Jews today would like you to believe this, and that the messiah is just a normal man who would liberate Israel through military might, but that's not the whole story. One example:
Isaiah 9
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A child born who is mighty god and everlasting father? Fits pretty well with the trinity.

This is a deliberate mistranslation, as I recall. The Tanakh gives it a present tense(no messianic future tense express or implied), and further, the 'counselor, Mighty god...' bit are actually adjectives describing yahweh who then 'called him prince of peace'. (Reversal of word order.)

Co-opting lunacy is even loonier, but why am I not surprised? Later books need the back story.
