Trinity

 

What is one reason Jews do not accept the Christian belief that Jesus is the incarnation of God?

Is it true that the Zohar's commentary on Deuteronomy 6:4 (the Shema) confirms the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

If Jesus was God as well as man how could Satan expect to tempt him?

Is it true that there are New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

In Philippians 2:11 Paul states "that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Doesn't this show that he taught that Jesus and God are equal?

Revelation 11:15 states that "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Doesn't this verse show the equality of Jesus and God?

In John 10:30 Jesus says, "I and the Father are one [hen]." Doesn't this show that they are one in essence?

Is it not true that one of the best New Testament proofs for the doctrine of a triune god is found in 1 John 5:7-8?

Doesn't Psalms 110:1 show that the Messiah will not only be greater than David but must also be a divine being?

Do Deuteronomy 6:4 and Psalms 110:1 teach the trinitarian plurality of God?

Isn't the doctrine of the Trinity supported by Genesis 19:24: "Then the Lord caused to rain upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven"?

The word 'echad, "one," is used in the Jewish Scriptures in either a compound or absolute sense. In what sense is 'echad used in the Shema, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" (Deuteronomy 6:4)?

Is it true that the first century C.E. Jewish historian Flavius Josephus provides corroborative evidence for the Christian claims concerning the alleged messiahship, resurrection, and divinity of Jesus?

Is it true that the first century C.E. Jewish historian Flavius Josephus provides corroborative evidence for the Christian claims concerning the alleged messiahship, resurrection, and divinity of Jesus?

Is it true that a portion of the Christian tri-unity god (i.e., Jesus) became man for the express purpose of undergoing temptation and suffering in order to save humankind from its sins?

Does the word "spirit" in "The Lord God has sent me, and His spirit" (Isaiah 48:16) refer to what Christians call the "third member of the trinity"?

Is the author of the Gospel of John claiming that Jesus is part of a tri- unity god when he has Jesus say, "before Abraham came into being, I am" (John 8:58)?

Doesn't the command by Matthew's Jesus to, "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19) show the existence of a triune deity.

In the Book of Revelation we find the verse, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8). But what do you do with Revelation 22:13, which appears to be Jesus speaking (see verse 16), when he says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end"? Doesn't the command by Matthew's Jesus to, "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19) show the existence of a triune deity.

God said: "Let us make man in our image . . ." (Genesis 1:26) and "Come, let us go down, and there confound their language" (Genesis 11:7). To whom does the "us" refer?
