Sigh.

One of the saddest things is to see the names of HaShem misused and abused, a Chillul HaShem.

Those who wish to proclaim some knowledge or closeness to HaShem by misusing and/or using the wrong names at the wrong times, not having the faintest clue when or even if to use them, are just LOST.

And of course if they knew anything, it immediately puts the 3-in-1 man lie to rest. Why DOES HaShem have so many names?...

‘you shall have no other gods before me’ - if people don’t understand THAT - simple meaning, no mysticism, they will never understand the one true God, instead trying to ‘prove’ their way around that with subsequent unholy texts.

~1300 years before Christianity existed, ONE God existed. That God still exists and he’s still ONE.

If three ‘anything’ is your god, you’re not connecting with the ONE God.

It really is that simple.

This is a major tenet of the Christian faith and the proof for it entails ALL of holy Scripture - the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms as well as the Divinely-inspired writings of the followers of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that God (Hashem) is the one, true, ONLY God, the creator and sustainer of the universe. We also believe that Jesus is the Messiah foretold of in those sacred Jewish Scriptures and that He is the incarnation of Almighty God (Immanuel - which is God with us). Jesus’ name means Yahweh is our Salvation.

Nobody is forcing you to accept this faith - or to even come onto this thread and give your opinion. The Trinity is and can be defended by Scripture, by the historical traditions of the earliest believers and confirmed as the truth in the hearts of those seeking to KNOW God - who is a rewarder of all those who diligently seek Him. That is what this thread was intended to do.

Have a good night.

You could use a session learning about dimensional variability. It was Jesus (God with us) Who taught the simplest Physics lesson to His closest disciple (see John 14); it was Jesus Who proclaimed that if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father; it was Jesus Who assured them that when He left, He would send the Paraclete. Do you believe Jesus IS GOD with us?

“Why DOES HaShem have so many names?”

God had many names, and appeared in many forms even in the Old Testament. So your own argument, if it were valid, would invalidate your own Scriptures.

Fortunately, your argument is not valid. God is not limited by your lack of understanding, He can appear as He wills, in as many forms as He wishes, and remains the one true God.
