The new testament is clearly new compared to the Torah. That is why it is called “new”. The new testament book of Galatians has no theological importance in Torah Law. It is the same as the koran. The Oral Torah explains that G-d does not have a human form. Again, please do not flood me with sources.

Nobody said the New Testament was NOT new compared to the Torah, don't know why you would have had to say that. The theological importance, however, is that the first followers of Jesus Christ WERE Torah observant Jews. Their writings are as far from the Koran as possibly can be! Just as the Torah had prophets of God to speak as the Holy Spirit led them, so to did they. Quite a bit of what they wrote in these books was their personal experiences with Jesus, his teachings, their absolute conviction that he was who he said he was - THE Messiah, that they personally saw with their own eyes that he arose from the dead after the crucifixion and the continued revelations from God that were taught to the followers and those of us to this day who believe in him.

We also know that Almighty God is a spirit and those who worship must worship him in spirit and truth. Your prophet Isaiah said that the Lord himself would give us a sign, a virgin would conceive and bear a son who would be GOD WITH US. Isaiah also revealed, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isa. 9:6). That's what Christian believe. Jesus, the Son of God, IS Almighty God who took on human flesh to dwell among us so that he would be our kinsman redeemer. We know that there is only ONE true God, but he has revealed to us that he is Father, Son and Holy Spirit - three, yet ONE.

I can't help but wonder why you joined the discussion on this thread if you didn't want to be "flooded with sources"? I hope your questions have been answered and I pray your heart would be opened to believe that Jesus IS your Redeemer, as well.
