Re: The gospel writers saw Jesus as an angel figure, gave him a version of the name Yahweh
Early Christians in the era of the Kitos Wars and the Bar Kokhba uprising separated God from the Jews in two ways. Or that the God of the Jews is a minor demiurge. Or that the God of the Jews is the only God that the Jews did not understand Who were the first christ devotees and did they honor a po...

From https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book2.html For how ever could the soul admit the transcendental contemplation of such themes, while unbelief respecting what was to be learned st...
