Many traditional Jews refuse to accept Yeshua as their Savior and Final Sin Sacrifice because they believe that Christians worship three G-ds. The truth is, there is ONE G-d and He IS a plurality as shown in the Tanakh and as the rabbis of old taught! The following was borrowed from Rabbi Leopold Cohn's study entitled, "Do Christians Worship Three Gods?"

(All verses below are from the JPS Tanach.)

In the Tanakh we find verses such as the below which show that G-d indeed had a "son":

Proverbs 30: 4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended? ...Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!

Isaiah 9: 6 "For unto us a son is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty G-d, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his kingdom there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne...from that time on and forever."

Psalm 2: 6 "But I (G-d) have installed My king on Zion, My holy mountain. Let me tell of the decree: the L-rd said to me, 'You are My son, I have fathered you this day. Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your domain, your estate, the limits of the earth'."

Daniel 7:13 speaks of a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven, who is given authority and sovereign power; and all nations and men of every language "serve" him. This "son" who was mentioned several times, couldn't be just anyone; He HAD to be someone special or God wouldn't have bothered reiterating Him again and again....

Genesis 1:26 shows YHWH's plurality:

Genesis 1: 26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth'.

Some people think that the above means G-d is speaking to the angels. But we are not made in the image of angels. And, in Genesis 3:22, after man's disobedience, it says, "Behold, the man is become as one of Us". This is not an expression that G-d would have used if he were speaking merely to an angel, because angels are not equal with G-d, they are only created beings. G-d would not speak to an angel as an equal.

Moving on to Exodus 33:20, we find that seeing G-d's face can be hazardous to our health...

Exodus 33: 20 And He said: 'Thou canst not see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.'

....And yet other verses show that some have seen Him, and lived to tell about it:

Genesis 32: 31 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: 'for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.'

Genesis 33: 10 And Jacob said: 'Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favour in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

Judges 6: 22 And Gideon saw that he was the angel of the Lord; and Gideon said: 'Alas, O Lord GOD! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.'

Judges 2: 1 And the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: '...I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant with you;(angel of the L-rd = G-d in the flesh upon whose face Man was able to look without dropping dead! Angels did not make a covenant with Israel, G-d did)

Judges 11: 29 Then the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

Scripture is clear that nobody has seen G-d's face yet in the verses above, the angel of the L-rd calls Himself G-d and the Spirit of G-d is also shown by Scripture. It is clear there is a plurality of G-d in at least three parts. (Not a "trinity" nor "three persons" as Christianity insists!)

"Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."

The most sacred Jewish book, the Zohar, comments on Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Hear 0 Israel, Jehovah our God, Jehovah is one," saying, "Why is there need of mentioning the name of God three times in this verse?" Then follows the answer. "The first Jehovah is the Father above. The second is the stem of Jesse, the Messiah who is to come from the family of Jesse through David. And the third one is the way which is below (meaning the Holy Spirit who shows us the way) and these three are one." According to the Zohar the Messiah is not only called Jehovah but is a very part of the triune Jehovah. This teaching of the Zohar is based upon the Word of God through Jeremiah 23:6, where in giving the promise of Israel's safety through the Messiah, it is added, "And this is His name whereby He shall be called, JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

This shows that rabbis of old taught that the Shema referred to the plurality of G-d. Echad is a plurality, not a singular oneness!

The entire person (body, soul, and spirit) somehow reflects God's nature: at least three parts, one G-d. The Tanakh clearly shows three parts of G-d as shown above. "Trinity" gives a false impression and the pagans have used this to abuse the Truth about G-d and have led the so-called "Christian" church into paganism and away from the original Jewish faith that it is.

Please do NOT reject Messiah Yeshua because of all the false teachings of paganism!

Why do traditional Jews accept two Messiahs, yet reject one Messiah coming twice? If we read the Tanakh in context, we can see that Moshe was a foreshadowing of Yeshua.

After Moshe became an adult, he rebelled against Pharoah in favor of his own people, and went to live with the Gentiles where he took a bride. He eventually returned to Egypt to be the savior of his people (exactly as instructed by G-d who spoke to him through a burning bush!) - by bringing them out of Egypt, slavery and paganism. He also brought out of bondage/slavery all those Gentiles who attached themselves to Israel and the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As the story goes, he was often rejected and mistreated by his own people, the very people that he saved from bondage.

While this was written about Moshe, it was also written about Yeshua who was sent by G-d to be a savior to His people; and who was mistrated and rejected by His own! Yeshua is in heaven and the Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers are His bride. He is a "light unto the nations" so that G-d's salvation could reach the ends of the earth. And what's more, judging from the events of the world which line up with the prophecies of Daniel and the Book of Revelation, He is about to return and fulfill the final prophecies as King Messiah VERY soon.

Isaiah 62: 11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: say ye to the daughter of Zion: 'Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.'

Yeshua = Salvation

This verse says "salvation" is a PERSON and He does something (cometh). Yeshua means Salvation. Notice the words "Him" and "His" are capitalized, meaning they refer to G-d. Yeshua's reward is His bride - the Messianic Jewish and Gentile believers who are taken from the earth before Jacob's troubles begins - the final week of Daniel where G-d deals with the Jewish people. The true believers of Yeshua HaMashiach are taken as His bride before Daniel's final week dealing with the Jewish people. During the time of Jacob's Troubles when the true believers are in heaven with Yeshua (the wedding week of seven years) while G-d judges the world and deals with the wicked nations, with Israel, and with the Jewish people. At this time, Israel will realize that Yeshua is the Messiah they had been waiting for and all Israel will be saved.

In the meantime, Jewish people are still dying without atonement for their sins and they are still being led away from their Messiah by well-intentioned rabbinical Jews. Stop believing something just because you were taught it by some rabbi! Study Scripture and see what is TRUTH. The Tanakh says ALL Torah is WRITTEN (Exodus 24:3-7). The Talmud is commentary and, as such, is subject to errors of man. The Talmud has also added a lot of "fences" to scripture that G-d never gave to Moshe:

Joshua 23: 6 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside there from to the right hand or to the left;

If Yeshua is not the Jewish Messiah, then no one should believe in Him because His credentials as "Savior of the World" are based on His credentials as the "Messiah of Israel".

If He is the true Messiah - a crucial part of the plurality of the ONE G-D outlined in the Tanakh - then it is correct to believe in Him; and you would be a Jew in good standing with God, even if no one else agreed.
