To: UriÂ’el-2012
Uri’el, it appears you’re having trouble with New Testament concepts like “Our Father who is in heaven,” Jesus the Son of God, maybe who the Holy Spirit is, the Trinity and such. That’s OK. It takes time to learn what God wants to teach us in His Word. I would encourage you to focus on reading and learning the New Testament, beginning especially the Gospel of John which unveils who Jesus is and His relationship with His Father.

At the risk of being presumptuous, I would also like to suggest that you try to refrain from harsh condemnation of others who may know less than you or possibly more than you.

Let no man therefore judge you [or others] on meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Colossians 2:16-17.

Being what appears to be a (possibly orthodox?) Jew who has accepted Jesus as Messiah, you may have to unlearn certain traditions of man that are not according to the revelation of Jesus and the New Testament in God’s Word. It may be difficult but will reap you great rewards.

God bless you in your journey with Him.

The evidences of history leave little doubt.
The concept of the Trinity finds its roots in
Pagan theology and Greek philosophy:

it is a stranger to the Jewish Jesus
and the Hebrew people from which he sprang.

May you seek the face of YHvH in His Word
and accept His salvation.
