Buying into heresy, are you?
Depends on how you define heresy.
Jews have defined God as being non-corporeal and can never be human for the last 3000+ years. This has caused many problems for them to the point of death for not deviating from this basic belief.
Then if you go to the Christian’s replacement Torah (aka The New Testament) and look up John 4:24 it says the following.
(King James Version)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(NASB)
God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
(NIV)
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Even the Renegade Rabbi (aka Jesus, aka Yeshua, etc.) made it pretty clear that he was a separate, distinct and unique individual had a very close relationship with God just like anybody else can and will one day on a large scale. In the first Temple period the spirit of the Torah was followed but not the letter. In the second Temple period the letter of Torah was followed but not the spirit of it. Your rabbi accomplished following it both in spirit and the letter. He encouraged all Israelis to get back to those basics and follow that balanced path. This caused no end of problems to the political and religious establishment that had been Hellenized for quite a while. Think of Hellenized Jews as being similar to those in the GOP-E/Dem parties and those in very Leftist Churches. Hellenistic Judaism was a form of Judaism in the ancient world that combined Jewish religious tradition with elements of Greek culture.
If you look at all of the pagan cultures including the ancient Greeks that God/gods can take human form. Christianity inherited that. Think of it as legacy code in an computer OS.
I know what I have said will ruffle a lot of feathers but basic belief has done so for a very, very, very long time.
So on this issue I am proud to be an FR heretic!
