Isaiah 53 is not a forbidden chapter in Judaism.

You said you believe Jesus is the Father. And the Son. And the Holy Spirit? You’ve also written in opposition to trinitarianism.

I’d like to know if @Ronald David Bruno has noticed that you’re a unitarian.

I was speaking specifically about the prologue in John’s Gospel. All translations have strengths and weaknesses. The (trinitarian) source I quoted about the Geneva Bible described it as a superb translation. For “in him” see other translations. Why did the Protestant reformers produce a...

“You [Jesus of Nazareth] are the Messiah, the son of the living God.” - Peter (Matthew 16:16) Amen. My faith and confession, too.

I’m happy to see and be able to say that we are in substantial agreement on this point.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5, read aloud in Hebrew. * A letter to Maimonides … which will fall on eyes, ears and a mind which currently do not exist. * Dear Maimonides, If you were able today to hear this speaker reading the text, you would have no difficulty acknowledging that he says echad. If you...

The Tyndale Bible translation of John’s prologue. https://www.biblestudytools.com/tyn/john/1.html Excellent, imo. “Way off the mark,” in the opinion of others. That the connotation is different has been acknowledged. Everyone has their own logos. It isn’t another person. It is their thought...

I don’t agree with Maimonides (or anyone else) who desires to substitute yachid for echad in the Shema. Yahweh is the echad elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the Messiah’s own God. There is no yachid elohim discussed or alluded to in the Hebrew Bible.

There are actually 12 occurrences of the Hebrew word yachid. https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Lexicon.show/ID/H3173/yachiyd.htm#:~:text=Strongs%27s%20%233173%3A%20yachiyd%20%2D%20Greek%2FHebrew%20Definitions%20%2D%20Bible%20Tools There are 969 occurrences of the word echad...

Counting in Hebrew. 1 - echad, not yachid.

One can modify a singular noun or a collective noun. In both cases, one means only one, not more than one. One echad duck (singular noun) -> only one duck, not more than one duck. One echad team (collective noun) -> only one team, not more than one team. One echad God (singular noun) -> only...
