Brother Ronen

I have a question, and I wanted to hear your take on it.

What do you think God meant in Genesis, when His word say's: Let us make man in our image.

Who was God speaking with?

Blessings

Ron

Hey brother Ron - according to Midrash, Hashem was taking counsel, as it were, with his supernal court. I guess angels wold be the most common translation.

There is also a midrash that when Hashem wanted to create the world in general, he sought counsel with the souls of the righteous.

In this way, when the endured all their suffering, they couldn't really complain because they themselves agreed to the creation of the world.

It is bad enough that Xians worship a man. But they worship a man that doesn’t even know the day or the hour of judgment day (Matthew 24:36).

Also, in John 17:11 Jesus prays for believers "that they may be one as we are one". Not only did this not occur, but the opposite happened. Thousands of Xian denominations, wars, persecutions, etc.

Their god is not omniscient and not omnipotent; and is no god. So, missionaries please don’t associate yourselves with Judaism.

Live in his way of life would be, not he himself.

@s76yu

Right, just as John 10:29 said "My father......is greater than all"

Yehshua is the only way to God,,,Whoever believe in who he sent will live forever...

What about the Messiah, talked about in Isaiah 53? or Psalms 22? or Daniel chapter 9? and talked about in Zechariah? and Malachi all talking about Y'shua? (and many other prophesies concerning Y'shua)

Do you believe that Y'shua is the Messiah?

Have you looked into this claim? I encourage you to look into this deeply and make up your mind about it if you haven't.

@s76yu Well there're rabbis who believe that the mighty father, the son and the councellor is about G-d they say these 3 are one. This is not a christian idea it's fully Jewish..the Zohar refers to this issue. We tend to go around it because the christian might hijack it.

.. I don't understand why we have to carry on denying the truth...it's the same child who is born also the mighty father How this is possible???? Well that the reason why He's G-d...

Is calling G d a man idolatry?

No.

But calling a man God is.

[dud3man6969]

To stay off topic for a second. I heard somewhere that 1 trillion dollars in one dollar bills would sink an aircraft carrier. WOW.

[HoustonTeaParty]

Interesting comments. But Christians maintain firmly God the Father, whom is best called HaShem, does not and never will have a body.

There is also what Daniel Dreamt of. Daniel 7:9-28 Which deals with the "everlasting kingdom." What is the Orthodox take on this? To rule forever does not seem to be possible by a man.

I disagree that "echad" refers to absolute unity. It has the same meaning as does the English word, "one". The Hebrew bible is saying that God is the sole object of worship, not that he is an absolute unity.
