Are Jews Modalistic?

"No, Jewish people are not Modalistic, as Modalism is a belief that God is one person who appears in multiple forms. Instead, Judaism is monotheistic, similar to Islam."  

"Modalism: The belief that God is one person who appears in multiple forms, such as the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Modalism is also known as Sabellianism." "Sabellianism is a Christian belief that there is only one God, and that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are different aspects of that God. It's a type of Modalism, which is a group of heresies that view God in different aspects rather than as distinct persons."

"Modalism is considered a heresy because it contradicts passages in the Bible that show Jesus talking to his Father. "  Google AI 

"Judaism is traditionally considered one of the oldest monotheistic religions in the world." "One of the best-known statements of Rabbinic Judaism on monotheism is the Second of Maimonides' 13 Principles of faith:      "God, the Cause of all, is one. This does not mean one as in one of a pair, nor one like a species (which encompasses many individuals), nor one as in an object that is made up of many elements, nor as a single simple object that is infinitely divisible. Rather, God is a unity, unlike any other possible unity."" wiki

"While both monotheism and modalism assert belief in one God, the key difference lies in how they understand the nature of that God: monotheism simply means believing in a single deity, whereas modalism specifically states that the different manifestations of God (like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are merely different "modes" or roles of the same one God, essentially denying the distinctness of each person within the Godhead as presented in traditional Christian theology." Google AI

"Monotheism: Believes in one God, without specifying how that God is understood within a particular religion.  

Modalism: Believes that God exists as one person who manifests himself in different ways (like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) depending on the situation, essentially viewing these as different "masks" rather than distinct persons.   

Example:     
Monotheistic belief:     Judaism, Islam, and mainstream Christianity all adhere to monotheism, believing in one God.  
Modalistic belief: Some Christian denominations, often called "Oneness Pentecostals," believe in a modalist view of God, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are different manifestations of the same divine being." Google AI

Now  .. how do I see this situation? Oneness Pentecostalism is the closest in the last century to move away from the Constantine trinity doctrine. What do they believe?

"Oneness Pentecostalism (also known as Apostolic, Jesus' Name Pentecostalism, or the Jesus Only movement) is a nontrinitarian religious movement within the Protestant Christian family of churches known as Pentecostalism. It derives its name from its teaching on the Godhead, a form of Modalistic Monarchianism commonly referred to as the Oneness doctrine. The doctrine states that there is one God―a singular divine spirit with no distinction of persons―who manifests himself in many ways, including as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This stands in sharp contrast to the mainstream doctrine of three distinct, eternal persons posited by Trinitarian theology." wiki

 Lots of fancy names. What is Modalistic Monarchianism?

"Modalistic Monarchianism, also known as Modalism or Oneness Christology, is a Christian theology upholding the unipersonal oneness of God while also affirming the divinity of Jesus."

My brain is tired :) To be continued.. tbc


I'm rather simple. I can't find a fancy term yet for how I understand God. 

This is it : Christ in You the Hope of glory. 

With that as a basis : it was the Father in human Jesus the manifestation of Salvation.

The One God created a human being in Mary. The One God got inside that human.

That's it.

Queen of Israel

Just pondering again.. Jesus came to Israel as 'Son of Man', so He could let them kill Him in order to blind them.. So He could get a Gentile Bride as 'Son of God' via the day of Pentecost template.. So that He could reveal Himself to Israel at the end time as 'Son of David' for the Millennium. Matthew 1:1 - "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David , the son of Abraham. .." Mark 12:35 - "And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?" Matthew 21:15 - "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 21:16 - And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" " The Messiah of whom we have been s...

Israel Gentiles Constantine

Think about it, the Jews didn't kill Jesus. He just allowed Rome to kill him - but remember, only because he let them.  But after that, it was the Jews killing the ones that were called "Christians".  It was later that they were called Christians, a term which could put them in a box. Why kill Jesus and Christians? Mostly because of political and financial reasons that were being hindered by Jesus. Positions of power were threatened. The Jews themselves were very used to Gentile pagans and their multi god fiascos. It's just that this time they were using something that was close to their heart : Elohim. And later, the old friends of Paul didn't like what he was doing and so they tended to follow him around and torment people who were followers of Jesus of Nazareth, and the day of Pentecost had really thrown the curve ball of this situation. Years later Constantine took advantage of this with his not-so-wonderful political maneuver, and as a Gentile himself, he pul...

I Never Capitalize satan

The Bible is very clear that God made both good and that which is evil. God Himself is not evil, but he made the scenario - on purpose - that would let 'evil' manifest. "Thus G‑d created a world in which goodness and evil are equal options, and He created humanity with the freedom to choose." Chabad org "I am the Lord, there is none else; I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil" Isaiah 45:6-7 “See, I [God] have set before thee this day life and good, and death and  evil .” Deuteronomy 30:15 Rabbi Singer says it this way, "In essence, Satan is an agent of God, and has no free will or independent existence." He then discusses the book of Job and how satan had to ask God for permission. Then he adds his thought about Christians : "They clearly grasped that a Bible which asserts that God creates evil, calls into question Christendom’s rigid teachings on salvation."
