You weren't reading carefully enough! I wrote that the Jews had preserved "a copy of the original", not that the original was obtained and preserved by them.From the OP:
There is now even better proof than this though. It was known by the Catholic Church that the Jews had preserved a copy of the original Gospel of Matthew in the Hebrew language.False claim. There are no original manuscripts. They don't exist. What we have are extant copies meticulously preserved by scribes and later canonized.
I did read the introduction of the book.This "this very valuable Hebrew Gospel" is a polemical treatise written by a Jew in the 14th century, if you bother to read the introduction of your own links:
As it says, the twelfth version of Shem-Tob's work contained a copy of the entire Gospel of Matthew in Hebrew.the twelfth (sometimes thirteenth) contains the entire Gospel of Matthew in Hebrew, with polemical comments by Shem-Tob interspersed throughout the text.
Shem-Tob's work included a copy of the entire Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Trinity, it was just included for reference for the reader.Your "proof" is shaky at best. A Jew in the 14th century is not an authority on the Trinity, since they flatly deny it.
This thread was just supposed to be about the corruption of Matthew 28:19. I was simply sharing information. There is no need to examine any teachings of any denomination in this thread.The real error we need to examine are the false teachings of Oneness Pentecostalism.
Where in the Bible does it it say that Jesus is one with the Holy Spirit? Jesus claims to be one with his Father (God), e.g. John 10:30,Personally, I don't have a problem with "Jesus only" baptism, if it is understood that "Jesus" encompasses His oneness with the Father, and the Person of the Holy Spirit, that should be a given.
"I and the Father are one", but he never claims to be one with the 'Holy Spirit'. The oneness that he is talking about is being of one accord. Jesus prayed that all Christians would be one too (John 17):
20) Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
21) that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
or as Paul puts it:
"make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind" (Philippians 2:2)
