I have demonstrated everything that needs to be demonstrated in the Scriptures.

You have showed what your interpretation of it is.
Moreover, you have left many, many, many passages… So, no, you haven’t demonstrated EVERYTHING. And you NEVER will. The Scriptures are inexhaustable…

I have demonstrated everything that needs to be demonstrated in the Scriptures. If the Scriptures don’t mean much to you, I guess we are wasting our time with each other. If you want me to give you a list of names of Scholars with their opinions confirming my views, there won’t be any problem; but how would this help you? For example, Moses Maimonides in his opus prima, “Guide for the Perplexed.” Now, tell me, how will this help you? So, I try to give Scriptures, because I am sure you have one. Unless it doesn’t mean a lot to you either.

If you would stop jumping at conclusions, you’d be a far better witness. Also, when studying the things of Christianity, you stay on the surface, you won’t plunge, and you only share your prejudices which you keep no matter what…
 
Dear Ben:

While you did not include the full statement and question, let me ask again, or perhaps you wish to dodge the item as Lapell and I asked in all charity.

And as Lapell addressed, what is the purpose of your question?

In my neck of the woods, and as I have seen here, some people enjoy a platform to see themselves. I hope I am not one but rather my statement or question has value.

Blessings 🙂

You are threading into Mysticism now.

“Mystic” means: in union with God.
To obey God’s Commandments with all your heart, soul and might is indeed to be in union with God, which therefore makes the one who does it a… mystic! Anything wrong with that, Ben?

As a matter of fact, nothing wrong if your Mysticism is tested under the probing light of Isaiah 8:20. “To the Law and the Testimony; if it does not speak according to this pattern, it’s because there is no light in it.” By the Law, we understand the Torah. And by the Testimony, we understand the Prophets and the rest of the Tanach. If your Mysticism can pass that test, you can count me in.

Oh, now I am the one with prejudices. You invade Judaism with Greek Mythology, if I react, it’s prejudice. What do you want me to do just to accept what you say? You must be kidding!

Ben Masada;5331575:
The Holy Spirit is distinct,which is why he is said to be of God,or of the Father,rather than just the Father himself. But this distinction is not separation. They are one in being.

God is absolutely One and Incorporeal at that. Read Mark 12:29. Jesus said that God is One and the only Lord. Then, read John 4:24. God is Spirit and we worship Him only in spirit.

Jesus didn’t say “only in spirit”. We also worship with our body and in a church or synagogue.

What do you mean, “now I am the one”. Why “the one”? Why do you keep reacting like a teenager? Does the whole world revolve around you alone? Maybe I would like you not to use just two possibilities whn in fact they are more, at least 3 or 4… You lack nuances.

There is no indication at all of Trinity in Genesis 1:1-3. Sorry.

No? Verse 1: In the beginning God created heaven and earth."(God the Father.)
Verse 2:“The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (The Holy Spirit)
And verse 3: “And God said: “Let there be light.” And there was light.” (Said the Word of God.)

**No wonder he said you do not understand what you worship, while we worship what we understand. (John 4:23) **

Didn’t you say that I share only prejudices? That’s what I meant by
“Now, I am the one” with the prejudices. I think that because you are french and I don’t speak English well enough, we are not understanding each other well enough. I apologize.

The Holy Spirit is just another name for the same one God. The Word of God is in God Himself. Sorry, but I can’t see more than absolutely one God.
