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 Principle...

The Old Testament Trinity

" The doctrine of the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Old Testament , but there are some hints. The Trinity is the doctrine that God exists as three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. " That really says it all. Would God have tricked everyone from Adam onward to the nation of Israel right up to Jesus? The would God not clearly tell any of the disciples? Would God not clearly tell Paul such an "important doctrine"? It does not exist. As google says, "there are some hints". That is very weak. Basically hearsay.  The doctrine was made up and then tons of intellectual work evolved to make it seem right. Constantine then merged politics into the doctrine and that spread it like a cancer forever. God's Nation, straight from Adam, straight from Abraham, straight to Jesus rightfully completely reject it. I really think they know best. And so did Peter when the Holy Spirit spoke through him on the day of Pentecost. And did Paul after me...

Baptism Again

Google AI : who baptizes in the name of jesus? It strikes me very odd how few follow what Peter spoke on the day of Pentecost right after he received God's Spirit in himself. Jesus had made him the upfront man and for the first time he speaks not as an uneducated fisherman, but he speaks with authority of one of the first people to ever had God Himself dwell inside him.  What does it matter? This isn't a rule being followed. This is literally the understanding of how God has chosen to communicate with humans as well as how to teach humans about Himself. God will be WITH anyone who asks. But there are also those that God will be IN, and He won't do that unless that person actually knows Him like the 120 did on the day of Pentecost. THIS is what our hearts must be turned back to. And it appears to be totally rare.. that is.. simply obeying by Faith what Peter says and watching it work. "According to the Bible, the first baptisms in Christianity were performed by the apo...

NonTrinity Systems

Notes of Non Trinity and Acts 2 Baptism. Who of non Trinity believe in Acts 2 Baptism Jehovah's Witnesses : Consider the Trinity doctrine unscriptural and view God as the Father, separate from Jesus Christ. They have no specific phrase spoken when baptizing. They immerse in water.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) : Believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three gods who form one divinity. When performing a baptism, a Mormon priesthood holder says, "Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," while immersing the individual in water. Oneness Pentecostals : Believe the Trinity doctrine is a tradition of men, not scripture, and cite the Bible's lack of the word "Trinity" as evidence. They baptize as Peter spoke in Acts 2 after the upper room experience. They baptize by immersion. Christadelphians : A nontrinitarian Christian denomination. During a Christa...

Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot has kept his celebrity status. Who was this man and what motivated his untidy fame? Of all the twelve disciples, Judas was the only non-Galilean. He was from the south.   What we call Israel was in three main parts in Jesus' day.  Israel was in the north with 10 scrambled tribes, the Samaritans were in the middle, and Judah was in the south.  Galilee was in the north.  Judas was in the south where all the big historical names and cities were located. The Kingdom of Judah includes King David, King Solomon, Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Judas of Iscariot most likely hometown was about 40 minutes south of Jerusalem. " In about the 10th century BCE something took place that dramatically affected the people of Israel and still affects them today. What was it? It was the great divide, which split the people into the kingdoms of Israel and of Judah."  1 Kings 12:16-19   "Sadly, also both Israel and Judah fell into captivity, although to different po...

We Can't Prove There Is A God

There are two built in thoughts that cause every human to find some sort of solution to resolve. 1. Does God even exist. 2. If God exists, who can fathom no beginning. It is a dilemma that humans are rigged with within themselves. We can't prove there is a God. How can this be successfully balanced for each individual?  The Bible in raw form is one of thebonly collection of books that keeps God one. Nearly all human endeavors outside the Torah or Bible end up in a multi-being of gods that can neither be proven or answer the 'never began' conundrum cauldron.  The Jews are 100% correct that God cannot be understood or labeled since He is that which human homosapiens can never grasp. There are many people who simply cannot stare too long at a night starry sky without the fearful intimidation of endless space. Human brains cannot grasp it. Likewise is the unsolvable problem of knowing there is 'no beginning' but having a brain short out because the truth cannot be under...

John the Baptist

Just read this interesting thought about John the Baptist : (Elijah..? Luke 1) "When we see John appear on the historical scene, allegedly the son of a priest, we find him promoting a means of obtaining forgiveness distinct from the temple’s sacrifices. In other words, he has spearheaded a new religious movement that is seeking to undermine the institution with which his father was associated.. .. Then, however, I noticed a neglected implication of the information in Luke’s Gospel. Luke depicts John as a lifelong Nazirite, like Samuel whose infancy story (1 Samuel 1-2) is echoed both in form and content in the early chapters of Luke.  Nazirites must keep their hair unkempt (Numbers 6).  Priests are prohibited from doing so (Lev. 10:6; 21:10; cf. Ezek. 44:20; b. Taanit 17a).  If John’s mother did what many readers of scripture have done down the ages and connected her own experience with that of the characters in its stories, she might well have prayed for God to do for he...
