[u4ism100]

To speak in favor of a man who masqueraded as the world savior, and whose disciples tortured, murdered and plundered the Jews for thousands of years in the name of christianity is blasphemous and an affront to all of Jewry, especially to those who remained loyal to G-d, and died a tortuous death rather than convert to christianity. If Rabbi Riskin wishes to choose someone to emulate, I suggest he start with Abraham who taught monotheism and showed kindness to all of humanity.

[u4ism100]

If he had just stuck to the comparison of messiah for the jews vs christians I could respect that. But to include Jesus yemach shemo who was a heretic in his time as someone to emulate is in my opinion heresy.

Rabi Riskin goes one step to far. To say that Jesus was a rabi is one thing, to consider Jesus "maybe" the Moshiach and the king of the jews is not acceptable. And sure there is no trinity, only one G'd and what is written in Breshit is one of the ways that G'od manifests himself, not a separate entity.

@dumboride

The first question that comes in mind is: are you trying to keep the commandments as written in the Torah?

[highmastdon]

@zinpgh There is never spoken in the whole Tenah about a trinity. Gd came to people in several ways. But there have only been 2 parts: Gd in heaven and Gd on earth.

If you mean that the holy ghost is the third, I think you're wrong. Because long before Gd created mankind was the Spirit as written in Breshit: And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Why is it for people so hard to read what is written. And so hard to not to add things they think that are written.

@2011iam4god Your a freakin false prophet....

@JeanLouisBarrault - not all Christians believe in the Trinity. Some of us believe in the Triune.

Just because the Council of Nicaea took a vote doesn't mean it landed in the right spot.

that were thought up by latin theologians/philosophers. Remember, the NT was written by Torah observant Jews (Yehsua's disciples and the Rabbi Paul) from the 2nd temple period, not 5th century monks in Rome. The NT needs to be read through the filter of the Tanach, not visa versa. Even the 'Shema' implies God in 3 forms "Hear O Israel the (1) Lord our (2) God the (3) Lord is ONE (united). The problem is not with such a fact of God's nature but rather with the formal discription and naming.

@JeanLouisBarrault I just happen to know a few. The word 'trinity' appears no where in the scriptures, and sadly this concept was thought up in the middle ages by Church Fathers and has become a major stumbling block for the Jewish people ever since. This is not to say that there is not One God (the God of Israel), who is a spirit, who takes bodily form through Yehsua the Messiah or as the Holy Spirit, but the term itself is problematic, esp with philosphical explanations behind it.. cont..
