Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] Question of the day 5/5

The Shema is more than what is found in verse 4 - which is notoriously difficult to translate from the Hebrew and continues to cause debate between translators. There are at least 4 equally likely translations that do precious little to shed light on the topic.

It is a hard argument to try to make this verse be a declaration against the trinity in light of ALL possible translations.

1) The LORD (YHWH) is our God, the LORD alone.
2) The LORD our God is one LORD.
3) The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
4) The LORD is our God, the LORD is one.

Evidence suggests that in Deut. the verse has something to di with exclusive worship if the one Lord - as opposed to polytheism. The trinity doctrine doesn't suggest or support polytheism. It isn't violating this verse.

The Shema is etched on the hearts and doorposts of the Jewish people. What Jesus taught was much deeper than verse 4.

This is what God wanted them to hear. Deut. 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." This is also the saying that Jesus taught.

What does that have to do with the Hebrew word "hear"?

Can we really take the Jewish perspective of things in totality when it is traditionally speaking they who consistently wait for the Messiah that came already? Just a thought.

Good! You can join the "Shema" club now. That is what the Jews have been saying for many years. They say it religously that "God is one....." And of course Jesus was a Jew and this is what he taught and lived by.

The devil is busy decieving people. He's been doing it since the beginning. Believe me he has been really busy in the catholic church. Shelley, most of what you were taught there has been wrong. I was brainwashed by them too and also by much that the protestant churches taught. Iv'e had to spend years just unlearning the lies I was told by relying soley on the bible. A person that is seeking with all his heart for the truth will find it. A person who is not seeking with all his heart will keep believing the lie.

In Christ, George...

God is one not three in one.
