*Yes it does. Jesus got in trouble with the religious leaders because of this. that is one reason the religious leaders of the day had him crucified because he was doing away with the Law and claiming equality with God the Father. You had some fair answers and one really bad answer. But the man that asked who converted who has a very valid point. But that does not take away from the fact that Jesus himself did claim to be One with God.*

The first verse in the Bible reads:
"In the beginning, God (Elohim=plural form of the word for God) created (singular verb form) the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
So we see from the very first verse in the Bible the plurality and unity of the Godhead.
Christians are Monotheistic. However we differ from Judaism in that we recognize a plurality of Personality but a Oneness of Nature in the Godhead.
The Bible says "God is Spirit" (anarthrous use indicates He is Spirit as to His essential nature); which is to say He is firstly a Spiritual Being, who exists in a plurality of personality. This is the inescapably logical conclusion that comes from an impartial and through analysis of the teachings of Scripture.

Yes, I agree with you. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity does clash with monotheistic Judaism. Nonetheless, there are early references to it in the Old Testament. (Exodus 20,2 with John 20,28; Jeremiah 23,24 with Ephesians 1,23; Genesis 17,1 with Revelation 1,8)
Let us remember that the Old Testament is imperfect and provisional. The fullness of God's revelation was made by Jesus Christ who is the Word of God and fullness of revelation. The 'fullness' of the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity can be found in the baptismal formula given by Jesus Christ to his disciples. (Matthew 28,19)
Have a pleasant and blessed day

IF you will read your bible you will know that the son of God and the Holy Ghost were not manifested in the old testament in general but as we aren't under the law we serve the Lord and know that Jesus was with God from before the world was created, otherwise why would God say in Genesis "Let US create man in OUR image"
Reading the word and rightfully deviding it will answer a lot of questions

some spiritual things are not easily put into words and so we have an area people like to fight about. Do u think that bringing this subject up is helping us be in one accord which is aorders from headquarters. Do you not think continually wasting time on these unimportant ideas makes God happy with you.

the trinity and monotheist/polytheism are two totally different concepts... so no it doesn't clash with Moses' beliefs
