So ... once again ... why did the Jewish religious leaders of Jesus' time turn him over the the Romans for execution ?
You keep asking this question as if its some profound stumblingblock to my viewpoint.
I kept asking the question because you hadn't answered it.
The answer is because the jews interpreted his words as blashphemy and by interpreting wrongly that Yeshua said he was God.
Big deal, earlier in his ministry they also said he was possessed by Belial. Are you being selective in determining when to believe certain jews or not?
When the Jewish religious leaders accused Jesus of possession by Beelzebub, Jesus rigorously demonstrated that this wasn't true and warned his accusers of the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
OTOH, when the Jewish religious leaders were in the process of trying Jesus for sin of blasphemy (in that he, a man, maketh himself to be equal to God), ... he never denied it.
One would think that, as a Torah-observant Jewish Rabbi, ... Jesus would have been obligated to deny this accusation, ... if it were false.
But, in fact, he went to the cross, ... rather than to, ... simply, ... deny that he was God.
I think it is interesting that the on the scene hearers understood exactly what Jesus said (no greek interpretaion needed for them). But now we are to believe that the Jewish scholars hearing the words first hand did not understand what Steves mentor does. There is a disconnect here somewhere.
