To: Invincibly Ignorant
Just because it tilts your feeble brain. I assure you I can handle it. I can say on one hand you disdain papacy, apostolic succession, pepetual virginity of Mary, etc., etc.. But you're right there to defend counsels of Binatarianism and Trinity. All or nothing sweetie.

You are tossing together tradition and scripture. The trinity is an eternal truth , taught even in the OT .

Sorry your wrong. Its a truth read retroactively back into scripture. Read that article.

I suspect Ignorant's version of "Torah" is the one that contains both the written and the oral laws. The latter, of course, is by definition extra-scriptural material, held by some Jewish sects as being equal (or greater) in weight to the Law of Moses itself.

I would suspect that Oral Law is the Babylonian Talmud. It's such a huge volume of writing that it's impossible for Ignorant to have any good handle on what it contains, after so short a time from his conversion to this new belief system. One does not stumble into the Talmud or the Torah accidentally. Some rabbis, in fact, prohibit gentiles from reading it. Rabbis Johanon (first century BC) and Moises Maimonides (12th century AD) both taught that a gentile who studies the Torah is deserving of death. Yet Ignorant is appealing to it, after so short a time.

And thus, I conclude there is a master behind this apprentice. I wonder who that master is? BigMack, do you have any ideas?
