The Jewish understanding leaves out Christ completely. JW’s, Muslims, etc. assign some role, inferior to that of the 2nd Person of the Godhead, to Jesus, but if you want a Jewish understanding of God, obviously Jesus won’t fit in anywhere.I see that the JW pamphlet is about the concept of the Trinity.
In Judaism we do not find the concept of a either a duality or a trinity in their understanding of our Creator even though the “Spirit” is noted as possessing a personality.
**Then the Spirit came forward and stood before YHWH, “I,” He said, “I will trick him.” “How?” YHWH asked. He replied, “I will go and become a lying Spirit in the mouths of all of his prophets.” **
**Nonetheless we must remember that Rabbi Yeshu endowed His disciples with the right to make whatever theological changes that they wished. Therefore we accept the Catholic concept of the Trinity.
However, if some other disciples of our Lord decide to take a different viewpoint, we should not label them as “heretics,” but rather keep in mind that they might be following the Jewish understanding of our Creator. **
I am assuming you mean a generic monolithically monotheistic God, as opposed to a Trinitarian one.
