    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    To the eye of the reader, your post has nothing to do with the post you're responding to.

    ...or that the week is only 7 days long... Slaves are prohibited from doing the same work their masters are forbidden. Ex. 20:9, Deut. 5:13 The rest of your post just keeps getting worse so I'll just leave it at that.

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    @Teritos Repeating yourself isn't going to make your position more logical. G-d cannot be both Himself and His messenger. A messenger by definition is not the originator of a message. Isaiah 55:11 doesn't show us that the Word of G-d acts like a person. In fact, it compares G-d's Word to rain...

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    That is not the only meaning it has in Christianity and I'm guessing you're trying to simplify the meaning in order to make it pass. No, that would not be possible because the Hebrew word for "angel" is a word that literally means "messenger" (as you note in your next post) and a thing can't be...

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    There is nowhere that the angel of G-d is G-d Himself. If it were, it could drop the "the angel" part. It is always an angel speaking on behalf of G-d.

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    Logos does mean word, but that's not what you mean when you speak about the Greek/Christian concept of the Logos.

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    You are quoting verse 6 and she is quoting verse 9.

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    That's a ridiculous argument. Being Jewish does not preclude someone from non-Scriptural biases. We know that the first person who came up with the idea of the Logos being connected to G-d's Word was a Hellenized Jew named Philo. A Jew with Greek biases, exactly as @Rival is describing.

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    There is nothing in Isa. 55:11 that forces the conclusion that G-d's words manifest as a person. Perhaps G-d's words manifest as angels who do G-d's bidding?

    The Trinity in the OT (my belief)

    No it is not. The Logos is a Greek concept first connect to Jewish Scriptures by the Hellenized Jew Philo a few years before the NT was written. The word dabar means "thing/word" and nothing more. That's why the verse in Psalm 33 doesn't come with a definite article. It doesn't say "the word of...

    A question for Jews about Ezekiel 37

    There are other prophecies throughout the Tanach that speak about the return of the exiled, but to the best of my knowledge that isn't one of them. Interestingly, I once noticed that there are exactly 2,300 years between the Jewish dating for the resumption of the construction of the 2nd Temple...

    A question for Jews about Ezekiel 37

    The traditional interpretation is that this is a prophecy about the Resurrection of the Dead around the Messianic Age.

    If Christianity is the truth then Judaism is also the truth

    Based on that alone, that means Christianity should have never gotten off the ground, because the first Christians were all Jews and "God wants Jews to follow the Tanakh/old testament and Talmud. Because that is God's covenant with the Jews." Which means they should never have stopped following...

    Name of God is God

    There's got to be a welcome sign in that town.

    If Christianity is the truth then Judaism is also the truth

    I wasn't addressing that point.
