This article clearly states with sources, in no uncertain terms, ten or more times, the addition of a divinity.

That immediately violates the "First" Commandment (there's a reason it is first). Numerous violations of fundamental Torah teachings (if a dead man who is called god hanging from a cross, or even just the cross, isn't an idol, what is?) abound.

Of the big three, Judaism and Islam *are* monotheistic and don't worship idols or Prophets or men.

The reason Judaism and Christianity are different religions is because they worship DIFFERENT GODS. Res ipsa loquitur.

HaShem created man in the image of God. Man created a god in the image of man - an extreme violation.

Yeshayahu - Chapter 45: 20-23

Assemble and come, approach together, you survivors of the nations; those who carry their graven wooden image and pray to a god who does not save, do not know.

Declare and present, let them even take counsel together; who announced this from before, [who] declared it from then? Is it not I, the Lord, and there are no other gods besides Me, a just and saving God there is not besides Me.

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other.

By Myself I swore, righteousness emanated from My mouth, a word, and it shall not be retracted, that to Me shall every knee kneel, every tongue shall swear."

He who is eternal cannot be an addition.

Speaking from deliberate ignorance makes you look foolish, and dooms you eternally.

BTW, Elohim is plural, as I’m sure you know.

Just before your verse... Isaiah 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

From whence does this salvation come?

(ISV) 17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with everlasting salvation; you won’t be put to shame or disgraced ever again.”

It is why we Christians believe that it is Jesus/Yeshua who is the incarnated God. There IS no other God, there is ONLY one creator God and HE told us how to recognize His redeemer from false Christs. We have the Jewish Scriptures from Moses to the Prophets to the Psalms that point him out to us. That is why we KNOW that Jesus IS God in the flesh - just as He told us. The Deity of Jesus, the Deity of the Holy Spirit together with the one, true, Almighty God together is STILL one, true God. It is a mystery called the "Trinity" and it is the truth whether we understand it or not. We believe this by faith.

Christianity is monotheistic. The difference is we believe in the TRUE God who is three in one - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. NOT three gods, but ONE God manifested in three persons - as Scripture said repeatedly He is. Every one of those verses you posted is true which is why we know that Yeshua/Jesus IS God.
