I’m Catholic, actually, who has done some small amount of Talmud study.
My point was that Jews who are into Kabbalah seem to accept that God, while One, also can display different aspects or emanations (Sefirot)

I was making an analogy:
If it is valid in Judaism to regard God as being One, but having ten emanations, then why is it so hard to reconcile God as being One, with three aspects (the Trinity)?

To validly study Kabbalah, one must be extremely steeped in traditional Jewish scholarship and fulfill other qualifications. Not the "Kabbalah" being pushed today. That's like reading Ph.D level texts of something one knows nothing about. And you say these latter day Kabbalah "scholars" seem to accept that G-d can display different aspects. That is no kind of proof of anything. You cannot take Torah in little unrelated bits and try to use it as any sort of proof. Your so-called proof is nothing of the sort.

As a student of Kabbalah and Chassidut, I have seen how these theologies can be confused. That’s why you see the real counter-missionaries like Tovia Singer sticking strictly to scripture to demonstrate the fallacy of Jews being able to accept Jesus.
There is no independence in the “Sefirot” of Kabbalistic teaching.
I will tell you and if you want to study one on one fine, but the aspects of G-d’s qualities that Kabbalah refers to do not acceptable all the god-as-the-son ideas of the Trinity.
