Most Hebrew scholars recognize that the word Elohim, as it stands by itself, is a plural noun. Christians believe they worship the same deity as Jews but … Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions. The Midrash Rabbah on Genesis recognizes the weight of this passage: Rabbi Samuel Bar Hanman in the name of Rabbi Jonathan said, that at the time when Moses wrote the Torah, writing a portion of it daily, when he came to this verse which says, “And Elohim said, let us make man in our image after our likeness,” Moses said, “Master of the universe, why do you give herewith an excuse to the sectarians (who believe in the Tri-unity of God)?” God answered Moses, “You write and whoever wants to err, let him err.”1.

We know that in the Torah, Hashem is often refered to by the word "Elokim", which is plural. Zohar, vol. In more general terms the monotheistic western religions are of the idea that monotheism entails worshiping a single God who is indivisible (Corrigan, 90). Simeon ben Ẓemaḥ Duran, who also refuted the Trinitarian proofs, added: "The dogma itself is manifestly false, as I have shown by philosophic deduction; and my present statements are made only with reference to their [the Christians'] assertions, while the monk Nestor accepted Judaism for the very reason that he had refuted them" ("Milḥemet Ḥobah," p. 48b). The monotheistic religions believe that God is beyond us and beyond this world but he is highly interested and involved in our daily lives in the world. They claim that the Trinity is a composite unity, similar to a physical object that includes many different individual aspects, (eg. Christianity emphasizes correct belief (or orthodoxy), focusing on the New Covenant as mediated through Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament.

If the concept of the Tri-unity in the Godhead is not Jewish according to modern rabbis, then neither are the Hebrew Scriptures. 1. 'Or are there three ethereal bodies, such as the souls, or are there three angels?' If the Hebrew Scriptures point to plurality, then how many personalities exist in the Godhead?

This reasoning is incorrect, since physical objects that exist within the context of time and space cannot be used to describe G-d who transcends these dimensions. The Cabala, on the other hand, especially the Zohar, its fundamental work, was far less hostile to the dogma of the Trinity, since by its speculations regarding the father, the son, and the spirit it evolved a new trinity, and thus became dangerous to Judaism. “Assemble, all of you, and listen! The case for God’s plurality becomes stronger when we encounter the term Elohim applied to two personalities in the same verse, such as in Psalm 45:6-7: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. p. 259) justifies the assumption of a kinship of the dogma of the Trinity with older concepts.

Even following the fulfilment, it took three hundred years for the full form of the faith to be developed. God not only speaks of Himself in the plural, but many authors of Scripture also refer to God’s plurality. The study of the Cabala led the Frankists to adopt Christianity; but the Jews have always regarded the doctrine of the Trinity as one irreconcilable with the spirit of the Jewish religion and with monotheism. But can we come to a concrete understanding of the Jewish view of the Trinity? Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him. 22) connote one and the same person, as one might say, 'King, Emperor, Augustus'" (Yer.

The use of the plural pronoun appears frequently, and avoiding it or explaining it away is insufficient: Genesis 3:22: “Then the LORD God [YHVH Elohim] said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of us.’”, Genesis 11:7: “Come, let us go down and there confuse their language.”. Thank you. The Ancient Holy One is revealed with three heads, which are united into one, and that head is three exalted.

In keeping with the teachings of the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament recognizes that there are three persons in the Godhead.

Isaiah 48:12-16 reveals a speaker who refers to himself as the one who is responsible for the creation of the heavens and the earth: Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! Moreover, even were these things accidental in Him, that which is called God would not be three beings, but one being with these three accidental attributes.' (Exodus 23:20-23). 22; II Sam. Although the term "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, most Bible scholars agree that its meaning is clearly expressed. All this, however, is an evident error. Isaiah 6:8: “I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’” This would appear contradictory with the singular “I” and the plural “us” except as viewed as a plurality (us) in a unity (I).

Prayers are a trinity of morning, afternoon, and evening prayers. In fact, Maimonides noted the strength of “yachid” and chose to use that word in his “Thirteen Articles of Faith” in place of echad. Reuchlin sought on the basis of the Cabala the words "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" in the second word of the Pentateuch, as well as in Ps. In Judaism, God is understood to be the absolute one, indivisible, and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. All through the Bible, God is presented as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While Jewish tradition has commonly rejected the idea of the Trinity, there is no doubt that Judaism portrays a plurality of God’s existence. Exodus 23:20-23 presents an angel who has the power to pardon sin because God’s own name YHVH is in him. He, too, is sent by the first person but is continually related to the ministry of the second person. There are, however, no other allusions to the Trinity in Talmudic literature, as has been rightly pointed out by Herford ("Christianity in Talmud and Midrash," p. 395, London, 1903), since the polemics of the rabbis of that periodwere directed chiefly against dualism (). All the evidence so far rests firmly on the Hebrew language of the Scriptures. His colleagues then bade him be silent". However, the singular form for Elohim (Eloah) appears elsewhere (e.g., Deuteronomy 32:15-17 and Habakkuk 3:3). Genesis 35:7: “There God [Elohim] had revealed himself to him.” [Literally: “They” appeared unto him. The point made, of course, is true because the Bible does teach that God is only one God, and therefore, the general pattern is to have the plural noun followed by the singular verb when it speaks of the one true God. But the term "Trinity" is decidedly erroneous; for wisdom is not accidental in the Creator, since He and His wisdom are one, He and His will are one, He and His power are one, so that wisdom, will, and power are one.
