By the way, there is no greater connection to HaShem than a Jew praying *directly* to Him.
Israel and the nations.
Jerusalem.
etc.
Usurpation and replacement and additions can not and never will, alter that.
I guess that means that you really don’t believe that the Father is literally in Christ doing the works.
But that is how Jesus Christ is the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Did you understand the post at #58?
Me thinks that you do too much interpreting.
Jesus told Nathanael that he would see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Later, Jesus would explain to his disciples that the Father was in him, giving him all power.
JESUS, not MHG, said that when you have seen Him you have seen the Father, at least all of the Father that is seeable in our spacetime coordinate system.
Hope springs eternal! ;o)
Jesus also said to his disciples that the Father was dwelling IN him doing the works.
I’m just going to take his testimony to be just what he said. When you hear his words (that are from the Father) and you see his works (that are from the Father) you are seeing all you are going to see of the Father, for God is Spirit (John 4:24,25)

Does any Rabbi exist?
Not in the realm of yehova!
Every Rabbi is the figment of the imagination of a foolish man.
Yehova authorized no “great men.”
He authorized the Aronic priesthood for a particular time, but that rime ended when Yeshua made the perfect sinless sacrifice.
Today there is nothing but Torah written on the hearts of the elect, and confession of the Son among men.
It appears that you have neither.
