DO JEWISH PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THREE GODS? [2 of 2] Besides Jesus professing that “the Lord our God is one,” and Genesis using the plural-word “Elohim” for God, we have many ways to explain how the Trinity can be both three and one. For example, I’m a husband, father, and pastor—no wonder I'm tired—but which one is not me? Being made in God’s image, you and I have a spirit, soul, and body, but which is not us? We can also mathematically represent the truth of Trinity:; Jewish people believe the New Testament’s depiction of the Trinity means the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must be represented as 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, but the Bible tells us it is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. So, even with the mathematics of God, three can be one. Yes, God presents himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but He is still one guy, one Elohim saying, “Let us make man in our image.” Then there is the classic example: When water is left alone, it presents as a liquid, but when frozen water becomes a solid, and when heated
it turns into a vapor. Which one of those is not water?
