The operative words in these verses are PROPHET! YHWH would raise a PROPHET amidst them, NOT a second-god, nor a god-man, or demi-god or sun-god.

Wonderful, we don't think Jesus was any of those things either.....well, other than the Prophet of course.

Yehoshua said that he was a prophet.

He is THE Prophet, not just another in a long line of prophets.

PROPHET. Yehoshua was a prophet and he told people what to do. To repent and keep the commandments, and according to the second portion that you posted, YHWH will require it of people that do not listen to what the prophet Yehoshua speaks in YHWH's name. (repent and keep the commandments)

Yehoshua did a lot more than tell people to repent and keep His (not the) commandments. BTW, that's an odd thing for a prophet to do isn't it? Claim that God's commandments are his own?

Yehoshua also told people to believe in Him....

• He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:18

He also told men to honor Him just like people honor the Father, thus making Himself equal with the Father....

• For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son; that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him. - John 5:22-23

This prophet also accepts worship from men, is that something a true prophet from God would do?

• And he said, Lord, I believe, And he worshipped him. - John 9:38

Before I get too much further I must ask you just what, exactly, are your views regarding Jesus Christ? You say He is a prophet come to bring the world to repentance and to following God's commandments.

Do you believe He was resurrected from the dead?

Do you believe He came to pay for Man's sins through the shedding of His blood?

Those of us who do not accept the inspiration of the Christian scriptures can have a favorable opinion of Jesus, without assuming that everything said about him, and everything attributed to him, is 100% accurate.

Very good point!
