Jewish Scholars AGREE the Trinity concept is POLYTHEISM ?

Question

The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

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.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

Answer 1

Jewish scholars denied their Creator when He was standing face to face with them, then they plotted to murder Him, just as it was written in their Law:

"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--
this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.
"But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. "
Acts 2:22-24

Answer 2

Did you know that the Christians believe in one true God only? Yes, just one God. Did you know that this God made Himself into three--as the Father who talked to Moses and the prophets in the Old Testament, as the Son in human form in the person of Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit? This is what we call the Trinity.

Did you know that God is a spirit? And did you know that this spirit dwelt and resided in the body of Jesus? How do you think could Jesus have performed the miracles mentioned in the Bible if He was not God?

The disciples of Jesus may not have understood yet that Jesus and the Father are one. That is why Philip asked Jesus in John 14:8, "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us." It seems that during the time of Jesus, His disciples could not understand how Jesus and the Father are one, much so about the Trinity. Because the Holy Spirit has not come yet. Jesus, though, promised that He would send the Holy Spirit as stated in John chapters 14, 15, and 16. But first, He (Jesus) had to go away. He said in John 16:7: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

Answer 3

No doubt that many Christian traditions were adapted from paganism, some for reasons of power and control of the people (i.e. Emperor Constantine) but some because those ideas had to be adapted so that pagans would understand the radical ideas christianity espoused.

That, however, is not a good reason to believe that there was ever an attempt to "turn" people back to paganism. Jews weren't too interested in sharing their "most favored nation" status with any other ethnic or political group.

Answer 4

Contrary to your claims the coming of Christ is not the abolition of law. It is fulfillment. Those who obey Christ need put no extra effort into obeying law.
God's new covenant was first offered to the Jews and then extended to the rest of the world. Apostates abound in all religious groups and the children of Israel were no exception. The new covenant was placed in new wrappings to prevent the old wrappings from being ripped to shreds.
Christmas has not replaced Hanukkah. It is still observed by Jews around the world.
Easter has not replaced passover. It is also still observed by Jews around the world as well. You might well note that unlike the great mercy shown to the Jews on the day of passover the first born of God was not spared. Yet the invitation to join Him still stands.
Jesus warned those by his side to listen to truth instead of the half-truths presented by certain religious leaders. Following their example amounted to blasphemy. Since Jesus himself was a Jew it is quite unfair to claim that any New Testament teachers wished to eliminate the foundation of Judaism.
I am a father, a son, and a friend...all at the same time...to each according to need. I am one person. If I am capable of being all these things how much easier for God to be even more.
Saul was the best at debating Christians. He realized that the logic of his mission was impossible. It is in the New Testament, if you care to see for yourself.

Answer 5

In the beginning God Is a Trinity. It is written..Elohim said, "Let us make man in our image." (Father, Word & Holy Spirit.) We are made in Gods (Elohims) image; body, soul & spirit. We are a trinity also.

The devil has his copy cat trinity also. But the devil is an identity thief. God Is a Trinity first.

Elohim is plural of El. Name of God in Judaism (Torah, etc.) are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism .


There is only one Creator God and that is God the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. Nothing would have been created if it wasn't for the fulness of One God. So the Trinity concept isn't monotheist in that there is One Lord God & who is Creator. The LORD God, the Father, Word & Holy Spirit = One Creator. These three are one.

Answer 6

You're right. As a Pagan who believes in multiple "aspects" of one Great Spirit, people like me are termed polytheists. Yet Christians who believe in multiple aspects of their God are monotheists? Sorry, that doesn't cut it.

Answer 7

I wouldn't want to be God's chosen people and then have to take blame for nailing Jesus to the Cross.

Answer 8

Hey, let's not forget the Devil and Catholics praying to Saints and Angels. 8-)

If Christians were monotheists, they'd take to heart that God created everything, including Satan and Hell.

Answer 9

Sorry, you've got it all wrong. It's still just one God, but with three different representations of the one God. It's one God in three persons. Each being a part of the one God. It's quite simple, really.

Answer 10

We are talking about people who are told in their own scriptures that they would reject/have rejected their messiah. They cannot see that, why should we believe them about the trinity?
