Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.
The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

Did you realize that in "higher" Jewish teaching (kabala) that God is described as not only a trinity but much much more. Also that since the destruction of the temple in 70AD that part of God the Shekanah (sp) or Glory of God has departed so God is no longer one.
Did you realize that some of the new testiment was written in Hebrew and translated to Greek? The book of Matthew for one.
Did you realize that the new testiment does not really teach that you don't have to obey the law but that man has perverted the word and twisted Pauls words Just as Peter warned they do to their own destruction.
Did you realize that the scriptures that speak of the messiah's first advent before the advent of Yahshua were understood by the rabbis to be messianic but since then are now considered to be speaking of Israel instead because they don't want to accept the truth.
Did you realize that Isaiah 53 is never read in the Jewish synogogues.
I can play this game too I've studied Jewish culture and religious beliefs and almost converted. Thankfully I went to Jerusalem for Succot and he opened my eyes to the truth and led me to repentance.

This is one answer that breaks the Law which you tout. Check your law about embarrassing statement to condemn your enemy. The trinity is accepted, Jesus is savior, The Law was fulfilled. As you stated "no one can truly obey"
You are correct. Everyone agrees, "there must be a "mediator" between G-d and m, salvation could now be achieved outside the Law."
Within you message is a true message as you can see.

The trinity is also the reason Muslims don't agree with Christianity. They believe in ONE god as well. I believe the trinity was originally used to appeal to other religions who worshipped three gods. It seems true since nobody really relates to the Holy Ghost. No one prays to him like they do Jesus or God Almighty. The Holy ghost part is just an extra, unused appendage. What exactly is or was the Holy ghost except to impregnate Mary. A bit part for a real God, wouldn't you say?

Yes, I do know that many Jewish scholars think the Trinitarian dogma is polytheistic.
However, these scholars fail to realize that there are proof texts for the Holy Trinity not just in the New Testament but the Old Testament as well. God said "Let US make man in OUR image." Obviously, there was more than one person there. There are many more texts besides this one - see link below.
So....Christians are not teaching anything new - they just teach that Christ fulfilled the law and instituted a New Covenant which enchanced the Old.

Yes I knew that. So what? Look at how Wisdom/Sophia is described in Proverbs as the daughter of God, as a personification. One could easily conclude this is akin to the Earth Goddess of many pagan beliefs. Does this mean the Jewish Faith is polytheist as well?

quite slightly everyone considers it polytheism except Christians. This "3 human beings in a unmarried God" element is a loophole to having 3 gods and only one God mutually.

Considering they worship three gods how else should it be viewed?
And no matter how many times they write 1+1+1=1 it does not we all know it equals 3

Don't quite agree with all your reasoning there, but yes, Jewish culture and tradition does not accept the idea of a triune God. Neither did the first century Christians. Jesus himself, as a Jew, only believed in and worshipped one God, and it wasn't himself!
Actually, the trinity wasn't adopted until the fourth century CE, around the time of Constantine and the paganism of Christianity to attract new converts.

Encyclopedias also say the same, the moment you say; "TRI" in trinity= Three;
that's polytheism. Jewish scholars concider
the word "echod" in Deut. 6:4 an "absolute one" and not a; "composed one" like man and woman when they get married; they become one.

I believe that the trinity is a false teaching and distorts the truth about God, but I am not sure what your question is exactly.
