Same God. No heresy.

My dear FRiend. You can say that all day long...but it doesnt make it so.

Did you not read the post? If G-d were a multiplicity of persons He would have said so...clearly...plainly...directly. At Mt Sinai, it was a National Revelation. He said...I HAVE NO FORM.

For Christianity to then 1500 years later say...guess what! G-d has a form! He is this god-man hybrid! Now...you must believe in him or else! Oh, and there is a 3rd person you must believe in too...god the holy spirit! And you must pray in the god-mans name! You must celebrate him by eating his flesh and drinking his blood! (just pretend though...unless your Catholic)....etc...etc

That makes G-d out to be a treacherous...duplicitous, liar. (G-d forbid). To give a nation a law they cant follow after telling them they can (Deut 30)....Tell them the Law is forever (Psalm 111 and many other places) when it is not forever...To tell this nation He is alone...when He is really three....To require no faith in a messiah for salvation...then to require it? What kind of god is that? It is not the G-d of my forefathers, not the G-d of the Jewish Bible...It is the god and god-man of the Grecco-Roman culture.

G-d Bless

No, it shows how God has revealed Himself throughout history. Christ came in the fullness of time... when the world was ripe for the harvest. The Holy Trinity in no way diminishes God nor contradicts Scripture. It our finite understanding of an infinite reality.

To give a nation a law they cant follow after telling them they can (Deut 30)....Tell them the Law is forever (Psalm 111 and many other places) when it is not forever

The Law is forever... but that is the Law of God given on Sinai. The Mosaic Law of Deuteronomy was a yolk placed on a stiff-necked people for their reproof. The yolk was lifted by Christ on the Cross. The Law of God is forever.

To tell this nation He is alone...when He is really three

He is alone... and yet He is three in one. It is a great mystery that has been revealed, not invented. You clearly come from a Jewish tradition so appealing to Christ's Words in the New Testament will not open your eyes... however, Christ opened the eyes of the blind and told the lame to walk so that the Jewish people of His day would come to see that the Messiah had come. These were the things they were expecting. That is why Jesus replied thus to John the Baptist when he asked if Jesus was the one they were waiting for. The miracles were to show them His Power and Authority and His Sacrifice was the sacrificial offering of the New Covenant promised by God at our exit from the Garden of Eden.

To require no faith in a messiah for salvation...then to require it?

What kind of salvation do you mean? The Jewish people have long-awaited their Messiah... what would you do when you meet Him? Ignore Him because your faith is only in God? God is the One Who sends the Messiah for our salvation... how can there be salvation without faith in the One He sent?!

What kind of god is that? It is not the G-d of my forefathers, not the G-d of the Jewish Bible.

The Church thrives because our history is rooted in the promises to Abraham and it is unbroken. When the Apostles preached Christ to the world, they went first to Jew and then to Gentile. The reason for this is because the Jews were the first born to be reborn in their Messiah. The primary method used to convert the Jews was their own Scripture. When understood, all of history and all of Scripture proclaims Christ. Seek and you will find.

May God bless you.
