Mishegoyim I love it. Thanks for the reply. To step back a bit from the arena of faith (which isn't logical) I have to ask two questions. From a Jewish perspective, what were Jews' beliefs as far as the Messiah was concerned? Was he supposed to be a super prophet, another Moses-like person, someone who was quasi-Divine or was the whole idea of Messiah not really fully theologically developed? Obviously the religious leadership was scandalized at Jesus's claim as Son of God, because it took away from the Oneness of God. Second question; how did the idea of the Trinity develop? There is a tendency to connect the Holy Spirit with Shekinah. What is the Jewish interpretation of Shekinah?
